Apple and iPhones... We have had enough already!


It all started with dweebs trying to act cool with their little lighted up apple logos in Starbucks coffee houses, acting like they found the elixir to life itself with their Macs. People quickly got to see what a pile of junk Apple Computers truly are but the Apple-Boy practice never seizes to end. And so it moved on into smart-phones!

Oh my god, you people are worse than someone gloating and rocking around in a pair of $500 sport shoes that are half as comfortable and last one third of a pair that would cost $100. Admit it already, the only reason you ever got that phone was for the little apple logo and the shiny case. And that is ALL!




Apple-Boys
Sorry but, it does seem like most of you are simply being apple fanboys.

Chillax guys. Not everyone is an isheep. People have different opinions. People have different preferences. And a shiny surface to some is more important and to others not so much.

Big deal. Its all about personal preference.

I keep seeing all these biased reviews on iPhones out there the last months my head is going to explode from the Apple-Boy-isms. I have also seen videos that prefer apple but they are not biased and are really good actually, some are even very subjective but they state it and they claim it is simply their opinion.

To get to the bottom of all this, so people do not misunderstand, the grief is not with Apple users. I myself have come across normal people that simply prefer Apple for their own reasons and don't make a deal about it. I am sure most of you have as well.

But the rest of them? Oh my god. Logging in on review after review on YouTube, most of which are completely irrelevant, just to annoy people? Or on forums? Or in real life acting like the sh!t with their iPhone in a demeaning fashion? (It's happened, the funny part is last time a person did that to me trying to show off his iPhone it shut down and restarted after 5 mins.... priceless)


Ultimately that is where my grief goes, to the fanboys of Apple that day in, day out, babble on and on about nonsense.


Comparisons

I personally prefer Android. Would I recommend it though? No, not to everyone. It depends on the user. And if iPhones had a more reasonable pricing I would gladly recommend it to certain target groups and users. I can't however due to that price. Usually a person that needs less from his phone or a certain more restrictive environment that will work "flawlessly" and in a more simple fashion is also the kind of person that does not need to blow off a whole lot of cash on just a phone.

Hence, the only people I could recommend it too is well off people that fit that description however are cool with throwing money here and there.

Now for those mind-numbing comparisons.

I mean seriously? Apple has the better os? Ha... Ha ha... Ok sure.

Apple fanboy-ism 1) Getting happy with apple finally adding features android had years ago. Which is also a feature that would appeal only to an apple user that refuses to use anything else other than apple all this time and hence sees this feature as something new. For the rest of us, such features in the iPhone 6 we have been using for years. Like third party software that some reviewers said themselves don't even work right at the moment. >.<





Let me make the first part of this statement clear.


Someone that works with one brand of monitors because they are biased and hence restrict themselves to a 1024x768 resolution because those monitors don't have something better will see the 1920x1080 resolution upgrade in their monitor as evolutionary.

The rest that moved along and used 1920x1080 for the last decade don't even see it as old news much less news.

The second part I need to make on this statement clear and why its a fanboy-ism goes also hand in hand with another quote form the same people, the likes of -"a whole bunch of features on the Android that get in the way".........


I rest my case. Seriously. When did features get in the way? You simply do not use them. However, when apple will add these same features some itterations later those same people stroll around to say "it finally has these features we wanted."

How does this not apply to fanboy-isms? Complaining about a feature on another phone for years then praising it when it comes to yours? Evidently enough, such complaints were wrought of pure jealousy.



Another biased comment is apple users bashing on the larger screens. However now that apple did it "Oh My God, the Galaxy S5 has a smaller screen than the 6 plus, iPhone is soooo much better!"

Do I need to say more?


More Comparisons

Or even the whole camera thing. Apple has some better focusing (not always) but when compared to Samsung, Samsung has better colours.

What will an Apple-boy say to this though?

"Apple are more realistic and blaaah".



Apple colours in most photos are plain sh!t. Samsung focus in some photos is plain sh!t too. The colour gradients actually create focusing problems, and in most cases both phones take some really awesome photos and both phones face and have some problems. The Samsung simply has better colours when both phones take awesome photos. Neither is perfect, but who cares? They are both good enough.

An apple-boy cares though, they care enough to dance around you all day long claiming they shoot "realistic" photos whatever that means.



Again biased fanboy-isms that we have been hearing from apple users since day one.

"The colours are more realistic" /stupid face on... Then you see it in action and it takes them 10 photos to actually show you what they mean. If even then. I've even seen iPhones take photos were their focus goes completely bonkers and lights end up flaring everything out. They don't comment on it of course, they turn red, silent, and keep trying to snap a good photo. Meanwhile I am still sitting there waiting to see the "superiority" of the iPhone.


The Apple Company Approach works wonders

Apple designer 1 - "Our colours suck, but hey, we can tell them they are actually more realistic in our marketing campaign"
Apple designer 2 - "Yes yes, do that, they are bleeding idiots, they'll believe it no matter what and even more annoy the sh!t out of everyone else with trying to prove it even though they wont be able to."
Apple designer 1 - "hahahaha, that is priceless mate."

Apple is clearly doing something right with all their marketing expertise, and that is what they are. I have said it before that they have one of the best marketing appeals and I agree to this. I myself love Samsung phones yet have not seen a single advert that was anywhere near as appealing as the Apple adverts. They know their stuff, they blurt out some words, and use their marketing well. Half of all they say can be used against them as untrue claims and hence they are being more careful as time goes.




When once they would say they use the most advanced camera ever built, now they are careful with such false claims and rephrase it to "the most advanced camera we ever built for an iPhone".

But what does it matter? Apple boys stopped hearing after most advanced camera. They hear "The largest and highest resolution on a screen we ever built for an iPhone" and to them it translates to "the largest and highest resolution in a screen". Then they waltz around again parroting what they think they heard.

Annoying as it is, sometimes it is actually quite funny.


Again... Even More Comparisons

I'm rocking a pre-historic rom-flushed Galaxy S Plus and last I checked even with slower speed compared to all the newer smartphones I could still do more with it than any of my friends that rocked the 4S and 5S. That is truly sad.

Whilst we are on the subject of comparisons, lets take another statement which is common: "Android seems to drop in speed after a while"

Ummmm... No. Apple restricts your smartphone, hence pushes its limits less. Android does not limit you. If someone does not understand the simple logic that filling your phone up with a million apps and one will slow it down then they really should be using something simpler indeed (like the iPhone, hence being one category of people I do not recommend Android phones too).

Clean the damn phone up people, then watch it go fast again.

Yes, lots of apps are good. The freedom of choice to use the one you want to cross platform etc is good though not downloading all of them is a thought. Using 20 apps that do the same 1 thing simply because they are free in the app market is not smart.

Use the apps you like for the jobs you need, keep it clean and simple once you find them, and don't overcrowd the phone with 20 reader programs, 30 photo programs, 17 media programs and 15 e-mail solutions at once.

Obviously every time it loads a single photo it will need to load the options and extras from 100 apps and it will slow down!

Quite evidently the iOS does not allow that freedom with those programs, hence why it never slows down. It never strained itself to actually do more in the first place, why should it slow down?

Obviously if you open a song and the damn system checks that it can be played with all of your 13 media players to prompt you for a selection it will slow down! Its called logic people. Use the apps you like, not every app that comes with the android market for crying out loud.


The iPhone would never slow down though. Of course. Because it is so limited, even Skype on iPhone will not allow you to on the go, with simply installing it, be associated with calls and you numbers, if at all. Meaning you will need to find a number, copy and paste it into Skype, which is now finally possible since at last, copy and paste is added to an iPhone. >.< Androids have had copy and paste for years now by the way, along with older phones too.


It is just... A phone! Who cares?

I have seen iPhones crash many times right in front of me. They're not as hot and crash-free as they say they are even with all their limitations. Its funny though that apple users never tell you this, its their little secret it seems.

But when they need to show you something and it crashes in front of you watch their faces turn red in shame as if they are about to implode. Seen at least a dozen iPhones reboot in front of me into the apple logo just for the sake of it because they overheated or for some other ridiculous reason.

-"It does it to protect your phone, blaaah"

-"Yeah well, !@#$ you, enough of your bs. My phone never overheated in the first place. So suck it!"




iPhones crash and slow down too.... So what? So do ALL phones. They are just phones people, who cares? Of course they are not perfect. None of these products are perfect and always have more room for improvement.

Its apple users that have this ridiculous "standard" in their minds that make the biggest fuss about it and get the most ashamed from it when something goes wrong even in their restricted environment. It is they that make such a big deal of such large claims and put their phones on such high pedestals and it stands to reason that after that they will end up being ignorant, rude, persistent and even obsessive towards other phone users simply because they cannot handle the fact that their pedestal is flawed.

Then they stroll around and annoy everyone else some more, acting like they are a master-smartphone-race even though they are carrying a pile of garbage in their pockets that if not as good at best as other phones is actually worse and not worth its money like most overpriced technology out there we are being fed day in day out.

We have had enough already! And yes, you are getting hate back at you guys, obviously since it seems you simply keep asking for it.

We can all live in a wonderful world were we all use what we like and its cool. I too can see that the restrictive manner of an iPhone to be suitable for many users and would recommend an iPhone to them (aside it's price). Its all cool. Is that too much to ask for?

Please, when you stroll around with a "my phone is better than your phone" mentality for no apparent reason other than to simply try in the most ridiculous, unimportant and 1st-world-problem-manner to demean someone else just to make yourself feel better then be prepared to get some facts and hating thrown back at you your way.


p.s
About that durability thing........ More Galaxy phones have actually survived flat-screen drop tests than iPhones.... Your aluminium full coat sexy is not that durable either. Sorry.



I could say more, but why hover over something so unimportant it seems for longer than one should? Ranting about it makes me feel better, sure, hopefully makes you all that agree feel better too. But from there on, it is simply a waste of time once the steam-blowing has done it's job. And so I will end it here and conclude with the hope of a world were people simply understand at last that needs, tastes, preferences, along with so much more, are as varied as they are to be respected. Wouldn't it be a better world were we all simply accepted our differences and moved on?

Stop hitting over my head nonsense about iPhones! I will never buy one, I will never be convinced, and that is the end of it. (Well, never is a long time, you never know what they might make in the future... But Androids are not exactly staying still either, so I still doubt it would be that easy for Apple to one day win me over).


This is coming from someone that has had enough of his share of Apples. Please rid us of such nonsense and childishness guys and do learn at least when the time comes to finally stop.

Thank You in Advance.
