The iPhone is not a shit phone, and I truly believe that anyone who states it is is either deceiving us or themselves. I don't like Apple as a company for probably much the same reasons as Stuart_h, I don't like Apple's restrictive customisation opportunities and walled garden approach, I don't like the way Apple describe the most banal of things as "magical" or "revolutionary", and I don't like the relative lack of choice when it comes to decent iOS devices. However, despite all of these things, I can see the iPhone as the quality device that it is - better crafted than most other phones, a smoother experience than many other phones, and for the time being a better average quality of app than any other phone. I can't imagine ever buying an iPhone (and, on topic, I have just shelled out on a Galaxy Nexus which will last me quite some time) but it would be silly of me to claim that the iPhone is a shit device.”
Agree wholeheartedly....
I dont like apple. From a company who used to enjoy an underdog status they have become everything their fans used to hate about microsoft !
Where else would you get fans queuing to buy a product just because its made by a specific company ??? I prefer to shop around and get the product i like best !!!
They do make good products. The iphone isnt the best phone in my opinion but if you have shopped around and decided is the best phone for your purposes then fine. Just dont buy the iphone simply because its made by apple. If you do that you arent buying a phone you are just buying into a (very expensive) marketing campaign !?
