Why I hate Apple... A summary.

In light of the fact that we Apple haters and people who know better are running out of room to complain, it makes sense a new forum is started to explain the basis of our discontent. Here are my top 10 reasons to hate apple.

1) White Logo - Clearly, Steve Jobs planned on saving costs for colour printing and colour etching on all the new products. Remember the good old days when the logo was a rainbow apple!? And have they passed on any of the savings?

Android 1: Apple 0

2) 3/4 of an Apple for a logo - Same logic as above. What? For $1000+ they couldn't have friggin completed the whole apple?

Android robot is so cute.

Android 2: Apple 0

3) Headphone Jack - I for one am shocked and appalled that this "new phone" doesn't even come with a headphone jack. It's clearly a corporate scam to sell Bluetooth headsets!!!! Clearly Bose is in on this plan to sell stuff and make money. Wait, and I can't charge my phone AND use my headphones at the same time??????

What am I going to do at night when I'm sitting in bed, my battery is at 2 percent, my Bluetooth headset battery is down, and my partner doesn't want to talk to me?? How would I occupy my ears for those 9 minutes it takes to do a battery top up???

Every Phone 1: Android 2: Apple 0

4) Lack of Security/Suicide Bombing Feature - in this day of terrorism and online hacking, why is their no built in self destruct feature????

Samsung 1: Android 2: Apple 0

5) Dated hardware - the technology in the new iPhone is soooo 2015. I don't care whether the software is streamlined to maximize the hardware. Give me more MHz, GBs, Nanoblings, and any other stats that I can show off to my more educated android using engineering friends. Because that's what matters…

Samsung 2: Android 2: Other Phones 1: Apple 0

6) Apple users are such fan bois - they are all just hippies, moms and dads who don't have electrical engineering degrees, girls, celebrities, doctors who have money to throw around, and other idiots who don't know any better about customization, not being a sheep, and living on the cutting edge of technology.

Everybody should be able to hack into their os and customize every aspect of your phone because that's freedom baby. That's what our forefathers fought for and I for one, won't let their sacrifice go to waste.

Them and their hippy 1 billion friends can waste their money on phones that will clearly be useless in 5 months when everybody realises headphone jacks are a must of the future.

Same goes for their computers and no floppy disks.

Samsung 2: Android 2: Other Phones 1:: Sony Ericsson 1: Apple 0

7) Money loving - I am sick and tired of Apple making so much money. I work hard for my cash and I am not going to have some tax evading corporation tell me how much I need a phone without a headset. I declare, with absolute resolve, that all my future electronics purchases will be from companies who don't care about money, and who are operatong to further the telecommunications industry selflessly. Their investors can go stuff themselves unless they too are in it for the betterment of mankind.

I wish other companies such as Blackberry and Nokia would take charge of the industry again. Based on their earnings, they clearly weren't in it for the money at all!

Nokia 1: Blackberry 1: Android 2: Samsung 1: Other Phones 1: Apple 0

8) Marketing and Trickery - what is this marketing I keep hearing about??? Are they trying to trick me into buying their phone??

I am absolutely happy sitting here in my moms basement complaining about corporate tactics on Ozbargain thank you very much.

And that fancy packaging? I haven't changed out of my track pants In 3 months. So if I don't care what I look like, clearly packaging doesn't matter. It's what's on the inside that counts.

Nokia 1: Blackberry 1: Android 2: Samsung 1: Other Phones 2: Apple 0

9) Using New Weird Propietary crap - Don't even get me started with this Propietary cable. I for one would like the original cable. Should I not have been notified that cables might change prior to my purchase of the 2008 Bose Sound Dock? You mean I can't pass it down to my grandkids when I die???

Along the same lines, I'm pissed off at Apple making MP3s so portable. People keep looking at me when I change tapes on my waterproof Sony Walkman, which btw uses replaceable AA batteries, has unbelievable wired stereo sound, and also has a radio tuner!!!! Combine that with my landline, I can listen to music all day without missing a phone call or worrying about a dead battery.

Sony Walkman 1: Nokia 1: Blackberry 1: Android 2: Samsung 1: Other Phones 2: Apple 0

10) Aesthetics - Apple users are such wannabes who just want new gear to look cool. They don't care that it's inferior.

They should use their MacBooks and iPhones w their wannabe Beats Bluetooth headsets, drive their underpowered c class Mercedes, and drink their hipster lattes out of my face.

I am perfectly fine with my customized home made PC that can log in faster than you can type! I can run it on a Linux operating system that is so customizable, that can use any pointer I want with software that you haven't even heard of. and, I will use my android phone that is so advanced in specs and so cheap, that I can watch 3D movies with all my friends on a super bright screen while listening to my plugged in headset whilst I'm still charging my phone.


All kidding aside.

Why don't we all jus use whatever phone we like for whatever reasons we like them?

Arguing about Apple vs Others is like arguing whether Christianity or Islam is the best.

In the end, they both have their merits and anybody who is too passionate about his or her choice has missed the boat on why we have these things.

    You have clearly spent an awful lot of time reading and digesting these pointless arguments.

    I had to scroll, therefore that's most definitely not a summary!

    So much for a summary

  • 1) White Logo - Clearly, Steve Jobs planned on saving costs for colour printing and colour etching on all the new products. Remember the good old days when the logo was a rainbow apple!? And have they passed on any of the savings?

    Or maybe he cared about something called design? Have you heard of it before?

    2) 3/4 of an Apple for a logo - Same logic as above. What? For $1000+ they couldn't have friggin completed the whole apple?

    It looks good, same as what I said above: design.

    I'm too lazy to read all your other stupid arguments. btw Apple is a company, iOS is the software. Android is software, Google is the company. Your comparing software with a company.

      I think your sarcasm detector is faulty. Probably made by Apple

        No, it's made by Samsung. It exploded yesterday…

    3) Headphone Jack - I for one am shocked and appalled that this "new phone" doesn't even come with a headphone jack.

    iPhone 8: no home button
    iPhone 9: no phone. just an empty box and apple logo

    • iPhone 7 already has no home button.

    • I remember when this came out years ago

    1. Who Cares
    2. 3/4 logo was orignally a foreplay idea. Get you excited for whats to cum.
    3. Spot on, just thius alone enough to not buy apple.
    4. Me know nuthin on these features, will look up
    5. yes, me want more bling. not bling bling, just bling.

    7. agreed. and the tax dodging they do(along with others, not just apple)
    8. yes and no. owever, more interested in your 3 months out of trackies? Dont forget to re-route your junk, and it is not a tug, remember that.
    9. Agree.
    10. looking cool is the new cool

    Anyone who waits hours to be amongst the first to get an apple product did not fall far from a tree…

    1. Optimisation

    /endthread

    • -2

      Dumb cop out since you can do more on Android. Apple only sells one or two kinds of phones every year that runs an OS made by themselves.

      The average person doesn't know what optimisation even means for software.

      • The average person is the majority and the majority does not really give a shit. There are only a few things the majority wants from an iPhone and Apple does those things well. Hence why the iPhone continues to be so successful.

  • "4) Lack of Security/Suicide Bombing Feature - in this day of terrorism and online hacking, why is their no built in self destruct feature????"

    Well to be fair, the Samsung Note 7's spontaneous combustion magic trick isn't classed as a security feature.

  • +2

    Lack of a removable battery is my main peeve. The ability to replace a discharged battery is one thing: replacing it completely once the battery has had it completely is another. You cannot do either of those things yourself with Apple products. Fail!

    • But neither can you with many flagship phones that are coming out.

      • +1

        Thats their loss then. Experience tells me to buy phones with replaceable batteries. If that means not buying a flagship phone, then I won't.

    • .Yep…fail,fail and once again fail, top money for useless junk with built in planned obsolescence, and if the failed battery don't get you then the slowing down with progressive software updates will!

  • i'm with you alienurbanite. have previously ranted about what's shite about apple. overpriced crap.

  • Different people like different things, like sexual fantasies.

    The one thing which stays in my mind about my friends and clients who prefer Apple is that they say they don't break down or develop problems like PCs, Android devices or other non-Apple products do. Then one day they mention they have had to take their iPhone, iPad, i-thing in for a repair or fix and I am polite and don't say anything. Perhaps one reason they perceive these products to be more reliable is because they have this "planned obsolescence" and mindset to upgrade to a newer model.

  • It is more like reading a THESIS than a summary

  • -2

    Too long. Didn't read.

  • The Apple ecosystem is still the most user-friendly system out there now. Their devices work seamlessly with each other. They work well enough for me to put up with their other crap

  • Wasn't the first iPhone the nexus of all smartphones?
    So that makes everything else a technological descendant — they should therefore be better, as successive generations eliminate flaws <cough> WinPhones.

    Ehh I agree with the actual summary — none of this matters. In ten years we'll reflect on the triviality of all fanboi warz.

    someome has too much time on their hands.

  • tl:dr

  • Apples are okay, but personally I prefer oranges.

    • Nice one Dad.

  • you can now add a new power management feature that slows down iPhone to your list

  • +1

    the best defence is to just not buy their stuff

    pretty damn simple, they do nothing that someone else doesnt do

    and they're sitting on a $250 bil. pile of cash so its not like as if they need your custom

    Apple sucks

      Too right!
