[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Yes, your friends determine whether or not the entire population of Apple users are "a bunch of followers". Similarly, if I open up a bag of M&Ms and find 60% of them are all red, that must mean 60% of all M&Ms in the world are red.

Except that little thing called a "camera". And iOS (subjective, fine). And the fact it has better app support. And the fact that there isn't a hint of lag in any part of the OS (not the kind of "lagree" that Android users claim they have, legitimately 60 FPS throughout the entire interface)

And then there's Siri, who, regardless of what you seem to think, is far, far better at understanding, parsing, and providing data instantly than any other tool we have on Android. Seriously, I've tested them all. None of them let me say things like "wake me up in 20 minutes" or "what's the weather going to be like tomorrow in Santa Cruz?". Why is it Apple has managed to make this happen if there's no advantage?

....so you don't like owning what everyone else has? Well, that's an entirely different issue, but please, don't be dumb enough to compare Android to the iPhone in terms of sales. Android is SOFTWARE. The iPhone is hardware. It is physically (literally) impossible to compare the two. Android is a free operating system that can be tossed on to any ****ty device to be called a smartphone, the iPhone is a complete hardware and software solution made by one company. And you know what? Even with that one line of phones and the integrated hardware and software bit, Apple still commands more than a quarter of all smartphone usage in the world. On it's own. Not with a million devices. Not with a million manufacturers. All. On. It's. Own.

How's that for a statistic?

Right, it's absolutely impossible that there may be something legitimately good about about iPhones. The only reason whatsoever that anyone would buy an iPhone because they are sheep.

And it's this sort of generalized Android-fanboy thinking that really ****ing disgusts me.

They were never going to release the iPhone 5. Any rumors that said they would were quashed long before the 4S came out.

Also, a dual core processor on a phone that was already fast without it? That's a "tiny hardware upgrade" to you? Well I guess the Nexus S to the GNex was also a "tiny upgrade" as far as you were concerned. I mean, we don't even have to talk about them putting an even more insane camera in the 4S, even though it wasn't like the 4 was doing any worse.

And who cares about Siri, right? Being able to literally talk to your phone in a natural way isn't like a breakthrough or anything, and totally shouldn't appeal to anyone...

:eek: A software upgrade can give me dual core processors and better camera sensors? Jesus, why don't we Android users have this yet?

At the end of the day, the petty arrogant bull**** you spew about Apple users with the countless ad hominem and purely illogical criticism is nothing I haven't seen before, and something I'm increasingly depressed by.

Why don't you stick with something truthful and fact-based?Try this: "In my experience, the iPhone has limitations that don't meet what I want in a smartphone, and while I'm happy for people who like it, I am not one of those people."

See how easy it is to sound like a mature adult and still express dislike?
