    How I feel about Apple. Not many things bother me as much as poor business and getting ripped off, in this case it's both. I could go off for hours about how shitty of a company they are, greedy, overpriced, unreliable fucking garbage products, don't stand behind their ------- phones hoping people will just buy a new one instead. But I don't want to get riled up. Samsungs can't text apples, non-apple cords don't work now, can't downgrade OS systems, can no longer put non-iTunes music on your phone, there's no customizability whatsoever, the OS updates always make it slower and buggier, the "warranty" is a ------- joke, did I mention the "warranty" is a ------- joke? While I was waiting at the queer Genius Bar even though I had an appointment setup, I overheard two other customers getting mad because they told them "Nope, we can't replace this. You have to buy a new one." Even though there was no damage on it and they only had it for 3 months. If I wanted to upgrade my phone either at the Apple store or Bell where I bought it, I would have to pay a $330 upgrade fee plus the cost of a new phone. ---- that ----. I'd rather wait 11 months with this piece of ----4S and never deal with you retards again. They're basically stealing money that we all work hard for, paying for your product putting faith in you that it will last longer than 7 ------- MONTHS. The texting is clearly drawn up by some retarded man-child, it's the worst experience of the phone is the one we use the most, trying to TEXT MESSAGE. You spend billions of your faggy Apple stores and "Genius Bars" but don't give two ----- about your customers.---- you. I will never spend one more penny on Apple for the rest of my life. And I will spread the word to everyone I know how piss poor of a company you are. Every dollar I keep out of your greedy, useless asses I can. Personal guarantee. You could have replaced my phone like you should have, instead you lied and cheaped out. So now, instead of replacing my what? Couple hundred dollar phone for your cost, vs. me being a loyal customer and spending tens of thousands of dollars throughout my lifetime. This goes to show how ------- ignorant and greedy you and your stupid pot-head leader are. Glad Steve's dead, what an idiot.

    Amusing read if not a slightly more explicit echo of my own opinion of Steve Jobs.

    He was by no means an idiot. He was a business and marketing genius. A modern day Thomas Edison: employ some of the brightest minds of the day, claim their ideas and achievements as his own, and ruthlessly destroy anyone who dares speak against him with lies and misleading propaganda.

    A dick? You mean Steve was right? He was a thief, a soulless human being with business skills learned from monkeys in the jungle.

    And I could go on for days about how I dislike android... leave your broken android in the weeds in the middle of the winter and see if it still works... Or find it at the bottom of the ocean and see if it still works... I know my IPhone will... And I abuse the heck out of things.. And the android phone that Was supposed to be indestructible.

    My 4 s works flawlessly. My 6 is a little bit buggier. Not a fan of jobs although I respect what he accomplished. Too liberal for me though.

    As does mine, 4 years and counting. It was my first Apple product, I was impressed, so I upgraded to the 5S. What a mistake. It was bigger but half the weight? Feels like a cheap piece of shit, and it is. I can't imagine the 6's now.. Never again.

    Yep, I'm a dick apparently for being a consumer, who are the Kings in this capitalist world, aware of what's right and what isn't, and getting angry when someone took $750 out of my pocket with a promise to stand behind the product. When they got their money, they said "Fuck you, it's your problem now." I'm still paying for a product that didn't work, that is now smashed in the middle of a parking lot. It completely blows my mind how bad at business they are. I know that the average customer nets a company about $20,000 in their lifetime. I know if they had any sense whatsoever, they would suck it the fuck up and keep the customer happy. They're worried about fucking pocket change over replacement phones, but no concern in the world about losing loyal customers who pay their bills. I've been in business long enough to know that's very Mickey Mouse and that you can't do that forever and expect to be a successful corporation.

    I've tried on two separate occasions just to make sure. Along with hearing the other customers at my table being turned down, I can guarantee it's their job to repair as few phones as humanly possible. Fucked.

    I put non iTunes music on my iPhone all the time. In fact it's been a decade since I bought music on iTunes, I usually use Amazon because I can get a regular MP3 without digital rights management. Amazon music even automatically adds my purchased songs to iTunes.

    Probably because Amazon pays Apple in some way. Riddle me this. I used to have 1100 songs on my iPhone 5S. Then when a certain OS update came out (that you can't reverse) boom, my music was all gone. Ok, maybe it was a glitch. Tried re-syncing all my music. Nope, not recognized. Greed. Same thing with the cords. They USED to work, then when said OS came out, poof, they don't work. Greed. You need to buy our $30 cords that are way too short, softer than baby shit and break like a soggy cracker.

    Sweet. I did the same with the 5S. Waited until the 6 came out. I don't need the newest, just something that freaking works and isn't insanely overpriced.

    About to ditch my POS iphone6. It's 8mo old and already been replaced by apple once, now the replacement has had issues since day 1 that they're trying to deny anything is wrong with it as it's not physical, but all software/carrier glitches. Just this week I had it pop up with 9 voicemails all at once from over a 2 day period of time, in which I have not left cell service. As a phone I use for business and those being business calls, not cool!
    I've got a nearly 2 year old Galaxy S4 that has never had an issue, just slowed down a bit over time, and they're both on the same carrier. The iphone will drop calls, get shitty connections, eat my data for no reason, has terrible bluetooth(both in my truck and with other accessories) and is just generally a POS. I've compared them side by side, aside from a better camera and being faster, the Galaxy is superior and it's 2 year old tech. Come on Apple.

    I had a 3G iphone back in the day that I liked, then went to Androids (motorola's and the Samsung) and preferred them but the iphone6 came out with and caught my attention since it finally wasnt a block any more, had a decent sized screen, and Apple allowed a little bit of customization again so I thought I'd like it. Well I did for the first few months, aside from software glitches, then both speakers blew, and now the replacement is a garbage handset. Guess I should have never bought it! I'm about to get a GS6 I think, or might try to suck it up another month with it and see what the Note5 is like as I hear they're pushing for an August release ahead of Apple's Iphone 6S. Either way my iphone6 is going bye-bye soon. I'm going to push apple as much as I can to replace it under warranty/apple care that I have and then sell the new handset and buy the Samsung. :annoyed:


    Only Apple products I do like are my MacBook pro and Imac 27", hence why I decided maybe a iphone 6 was for me. Nope, iphones are crap. They should stick to computers
