While some reviews are indeed useless it's still a bad move to completely remove them. It rather seems like a bad excuse to conceal the bad quality of their products. Luckily there is the wayback machine which allows everyone to prove the argument - most of them were about hardware problems or very short product lifespans. There were very little to no reviews complaining about price or shipping. I mean everyone who buys Apple products knows about their pricing. Poor engineering and hardware flaws in numerous Apple devices are well documented and well known for a long time now and it really starts to ruin the user experience. And product reviews are one of many sources to address those flaws and gather information about a product of interest. There will always be a number of useless reviews written by people with silly expectations or paid product reviewers but the majority is still helpful.

When I was looking I was just weirded out - most products had 2 or 3 out of 5 stars, absolutely terrible. But most of them are really good products too. So these reviews were all garbage.

Good riddance.

So the argument is: my device works so other people whose devices are failing are whiners or are lying? As long as my stuff works all complaints must be wrong. Implausible
