No, OP, the iPhone isn't easier, and that statement is why I detest Apple. Steve Jobs did a magnificent job of convincing people that they're too stupid to use anything but overpriced iProducts because features are scary.

Products with lots of features aren't inherently hard to use; products with lots of poorly-designed features are hard to use. Because people no longer recognize this simple distinction, they think that crippled products are better products. We have technology companies rushing to dumb down everything because people are intimidated by the prospect of learning.

You can't separate Apple from its products. Every dollar that goes toward an iProduct goes toward supporting a company that wants to do to the mobile market what Microsoft did to desktops. Can you imagine how much better off we'd be if Linux was the desktop standard instead of Windows? Now that we're entering the "post-PC" era of computing, the last thing I'm going to do is sit by idly while Apple becomes the next Microsoft.

Too proprietary... I don't want to have to use there stuff to run there stuff. (itunes)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingcedz:
I use both iOS and Android extensively and I actually find it hard to stop using either. My iPhone as work phone and Galaxy Nexus as personal. Hate is too stronger a word, they are gadgets, they are only supposed to make ur life easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
apple products are just for people who want to be seen with the logo...

hipsters sitting in starbucks with the logo facing the door and pretending they are writing a screenplay or something else pseudo-intellectual.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Glad your leaving... Seems like you are not skilled enough to get your phone to work properly

Please move to the dumb section its right there- - - - - - > apple
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleach168:
If Apple would just leave me alone, I would be indifferent but noooo.

1) Apple had this weird stranglehold on my friends who are forced to spend thousands on Apple devices to "keep up with the joneses." Cost of ownership for Apple products is double or triple that of other devices. In an indirect way, this has affected me because now my friends don't have gaming PCs, leaving me no one to play with. :(

2) Would AT&T still be around today if Apple didn't sign an exclusive deal with them? AT&T routinely is rated the worst carrier, yet the Apple faithful keep it alive. In fact, AT&T is so successful in terms of making money off the Apple faithful, that they almost bought out the competition in T-Mobile. Without the intervention of the FCC, I would have lost my carrier.

3) And we all know how Apple's lawyers are doing everything they can to stop Android through litigation.

Apple is the one who declared war on me and hates me. So forgive me if I hate them back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] italia0101:
each to their own, but this kinda bugs me as well, your already switching to the iphone 5 without knowing anything solid about it..... sounds like a good decision to me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
This statement. Don't ever say only apple fan boys are douches lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Ice cream sandwich changes that.

All he needs is Apple logo:

Inside can be packed up Nokia 3310, he wouldn't see the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] captain67:
I have no problem with the iPhone itself. It's a good product in its own right, when used by the targeted type of consumer (average Joe). I have no problem with Macs, or iPods. In fact, I'm listening to music through an iPod classic while swyping this post.

However, Apple is a company that deeply disgusts me. They make money by lying through their teeth to people who don't know any better, and go out of their way to convince people to buy overpriced phones that they can't afford. They pretend to be the inventors of other peoples ideas. They pretend to innovate, when they're just thieves. That I simply cannot agree with.

They take legal action against competition who hasn't done anything wrong, instead of competing fairly with better products. They probably bribe the judges.

They hate a fair fight, and they want to wage war on android. Android is the savior that appeared when I needed something open and customizable. Android is what came to the rescue when my only options were iPhones or BlackBerry.

Apple doesn't let you do what you want with their products. They let you do what they think is alright for you to do. It's YOUR phone, that YOU paid for. You should be able to do any damn thing you want with it.

They want to screw that up for me and anyone else who likes to have control over their own device, then they can deal with the hate.

Apple wants total control over the mobile device market. Steve Jobs was essentially a megalomaniac who couldn't handle the idea of someone beating him fairly. He made money through lies and deceit. He made money by making people believe things that simply aren't true. Apple is the modern day Nazi party of the tech world, and Steve was their Adolf.

Each day more and more people are choosing technological freedom, and switching to android. I used to see nothing but iPhones everywhere when I would go out. Now I see a lot of android devices mixed in. Still plenty of apples everywhere, but a much more even ratio. Some days I actually see more android phones than iPhones.

I'm looking forward to the day Apple fails once again, just like they in the 90's when Microsoft bested them in the desktop computer market.

They had a good run, but their days are numbered.

The only thing i dont like from iOS(besides the assholes running it) its its lack of "freedom"

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
I hate apple because they are the worst kind of company. When they can no longer compete they abuse an obsolete patent system to make themselves competitive.

"If we can't compete directly we will stop their ability to compete"

I have absolutely no issues with the iPhone or their computers. I just disagree with dirty business.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
This exactly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neomastermind:
Oh please, android fanboys can be just as bad if not worse. What's worse is that Fandroids outnumber the iFanatics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
iPhone users....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
anyone saying iphone is easier, lol watch all five of these

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMiY1kSTHZw

the maker even gimped the rest of videos by using a phone on froyo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
Yeah android fan boys are exponentially worse than any iphag
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Android fanboys don't even exists... its all pride for the obviously superior operating system. Froyo is more intuitive than the latest iOS. Please...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
Thanks for proving my point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Call me what you will... at least I know what an operating system is... I guarantee 98.9% of iPhone users lack that knowledge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
And all of the apple fan boys are showing pride for their obviously superior OS. Please tell me more about how much greater Android is compared to iOS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Trouble with that is... they dont even know what an operating system is. So how can they argue something they clearly know nothing about?

Android and iOS isn't even comparable...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
I don't mind Apple products, owned a few myself. iOS just bores the CRAP out of me. I really dislike Apple as a company and how they deal with things as well, but if they somehow came out with something I had to have I'd still buy it. Fortunately Apple doesn't color outside the lines often, so I don't see that happening again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
Yeah we are clearly the elite of the elite. The smartest of the smart.

Seriously though I never heard your exact statements from apple fans targeted the opposite way. :sarcasm off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
ha ha ha ha ha ha pure douche style xD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
I just hate how everyone assumes the iPhone is the best just because it's apple and because everyone has it.

That is why I hate apple.

When people ask me, "hey do u have an iPhone???"

I say, "No, I have a Galaxy Nexus.:D"

They say, "ooo sorry bout that. Did ur parents make u get the nexus because they can't afford the iPhone 4S???"

And them I'm like," WTF man!!!! :mad:This phone was a $100 more then the crapple iPhone 4S!!!!:mad:"

And then they say, "Well your phone sucks cuz it's not an iPhone.:p"

And then I tell them to F*¢k off.

That is why I hate the iPhone. People are to dumb to know what android really is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daewond3r:
*grabs popcorn* :D

I have my opinion on all this, but I'll keep it short and sweet...Android douchery may be growing, but it's eons away from the iFans. Just about every iPhone user I've encountered is ready to debate with me on how the iPhone is better. When I comment on the user experience of iOS, they're like "User.....what?" Exactly. They drank the Kool-Aid and have no idea what they're defending. At least the loud and proud Android fans (the XDA users, rooters, and enthusiasts) have a pretty good idea of why they feel the way they feel.

*refills popcorn*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iSaint:
The iPhone is a great phone itself

Apple as a business is **** and will get no money from me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Yes It is a OK phone. But people don't TRULY know what android is.

Alot of iPhone users think and believe that root is the same as jailbreaking.

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING I WOUKD BUY. THE iPod Touch 5G
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
You talk to some really strange people. My conversations go "Is that an iPhone?" "No". "Oh damn its big" "yea its chill" "let's get tacos?" "Tacos for days" then we proceed to get as I'm basically addicted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UndisputedGuy:
Isn't root the same as jailbreaking? Don't you get superuser permissions through jailbreaking?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
People look at me.

"Is that an iPhone?"

Me: "No, it is a Galaxy Nexus"

Them: "Never seen one before, it looks really nice!"

Then they ask me to fix their computer or show them how to do something on their iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Lulz :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhonsok:
I hate those stupid lawsuits. Banning the sales of Samsung devices. Going after HTC as well.

If we human beings were to work together and innovate together who knows where we'll be.

Instead we attack each other.

With that said, apple fanboys are probably the worst.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
lmao.. yeah having an android automatically makes you the computer guy where ever you are on... xD

well to root its not needed but if you want a 100% better experience you need to root and get involved into at least ADB/fastboot ing... And I think everyone knows that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
With good reason. During a computer job I ended up having to wipe the computer and reinstall. When the wifi/ethernet drivers didn't install, rather than being screwed, I browsed to the website on my phone, downloaded the driver, then stuck it on the computer with the usb cable from my car charger. If I had an iPhone I would of had to go home and grab my laptop, wasting my time and gas
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I've done that a few times. Android phones RULE for grabbing emergency nic or wifi drivers :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
IPhones have never changed that much still plagued with hardware issues an slow web services, iPhone is just an iPod touch will call feature built in so they should be the same price as the iPod but for some reason your paying 4 times the price to be able to use it to dial numbers.Do you think people will still be crazy about iPhones in 5 years time they have just become boring an mundane an the 4S was released just for apple to profit by offering nothing new in design or features just siri an a5 chip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Hell yeah they do :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
I go to an apple school. My school has alot of really rich kids and all think apple is the ****. That is why.

There was one kid who was happy about this Nexus Ban cuz it copies the iPhone in a lit of ways. Riiiiight

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Hey I have question.

I know a bit off topic but when u do something that is root related and people ask what are you doing.

Do u make it sound and look and seem more complicated then it really is???

I do that.:D

Makes me feel even smarter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
IPhones cause cancer just look at Steve jobs :D

You get cancer and organ failure for holding one for too long. It's cursed by Google.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kong:
Just wonder why does OP think EVERYONE hates Apple stuffs :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewmungus:
My hate of apple began years ago when they used to sneak itunes into every PC install out there.That was when everybody was paying twice as much for a ipod as a mp3 player with comparable storage. What it comes down to is they make alright products, but their business practices are almost villainous in nature. From way back in the day to the Gnex ban.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Because every time apple shows up in a thread its flamed and the only other android fan I know is totally against apple. I just don't see why it needs to be love one hate the other. Both nice mobile operating systems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
People would love the iPhone if it wasn't so closed and wasn't trying to be a one man army OS wise(kicking Google maps off) and apple wasn't trying to kill the competition by just sueing and not make it a challenge.

Apple haven't done anything exciting in forever. since the iPhone 4 & iOS 5, things have been quite.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
Nope I make it as simple as possible for anyone watching.

Anymore there is nothing I get out of rooting other than having something to flash my aosp and kernel builds to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryanbmw51:
I am android all the way. I literally will not even touch my wife's iPad rather than be on my handheld. I don't mind apple too much. Their hardware is nearly unmatched in terms of quality and innovation. Their software is solid. I honestly cannot deal with iTunes however. So many restrictions on how you manage your data. I guess for some people its easier that way. Idk. Not me. I kind of love my iPod classic 160 due to it having my entire library on the go and OFF line!

Not really making any good points here. I'm just kind of rambling on...

Uh so Anyway apple are being stupid these days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Guess I'm the only one .:p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingkee:
*pple hates everything before we did.

They hate open source but they steal it.

They hate industrial standard (cough-cough where is USB jack in iProducts?).

They hate T-Mobile USA (if not, why there did never have AWS HSPA in iProducts???????)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Astrofaes:
While I agree with OP I'm not fond of the way that Apple limits the user. When on my girlfriends Iphone 4 I feel too boxed in.

Still, Apple creates great products for the casual user. Too bad that they're determined to achieve world domination...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
Here's what us XDA members think when someone posts a thread about Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Awwwww yeah.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
My thoughts are just about the same as yours OP. I hate Apple b/c of their business practices but that does not mean I will hate on all of their products. I love Android to death but that doesn't mean I can't admit that the iPhone and other Apple products are good devices. I don't understand how some people here will completely bash anything Apple and completely disregard it as a useless item.

I do recommend the iPhone to some people if I think it suits them better than an Android device would and vice versa. Like I said, I think the Apple makes good products and that the iPhone is a good phone. But it's totally not for me. I had to use my friends iPhone at work for a few days and I absolutely hated it! Can't stand almost everything about it, honestly.

On the laptop side of things, I wouldn't trade my MacBook Pro for any other laptop out there. I'm completely won over by the Mac OS. I really enjoy how the whole thing operates and I'm very happy with it.

So bottom line.. Do I hate Apple? Yes. Do I hate their products? No. Would I ever even consider getting an iPhone over an Android? Get outta here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick300:
Yep. An operating system is a system that you can operate and install custom made applications, such as the Windows OS, without the blessing and permission of apple. You can install Windows and Android on a dishwasher if so you desire. You can't do jack with iOS if it's not lodged inside an iphone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
Douchery aside (lets face it... its people who are douches not users of one type of device)... my big issue with Apple is mostly how people just blindly believe that they are the greatest at everything they try. The real kicker is that in the computer world you pay double or triple the price that you would for a PC with the same hardware. It just never made sense to me. My gf has been a Mac user for a long time... I'm an IT Tech and have used both and tried to teach people both and there is this incredibly weird thing that happens where if I'm showing someone something on an apple they just listen and do what I say. On a PC I can tell them the exact same thing and they look at me like I asked the meaning of life and ask why PCs are so hard....

Example....

Teaching the person Mac:

Me: If you want to run an application you can either click on it if its in the dock or you can click here to go into applications (which to me actually seems less intuitive and more complicated that on a PC)

Person: Oh ok. That makes sense. I will remember this and continue to use it in my daily computing

Teaching the person PC:

Me: Ok if you want to run an application you can just double-click it on your desktop and if its not there you ca...

Person: Whoa whoa whoa... what do you mean "not there"

Me: If its not staring you in the face on your desktop

Person: Whats a desktop?

Me: the screen we are looking at now is a desktop

Person: Oh! I was actually thinking of getting a new desktop... saw a Samsung 21" the other day

Me: No thats your monitor. The thing that the monitor is displaying is your desktop

Person: Oh ok. Thats stupid. It should be like Apple. So how do I open other applications?

Me: Just click on Start down here in the corner...

Person: Start? That doesnt make any sense. It should be an Apple. Thats much easier

Me: You are retarded

So yes there is this weird thing where if its Apple people will learn. With PC if its not brain-dead stupid its too hard for them to learn

I honestly bought my Nexus not really expecting it to be that much better than my GF's iPhone 4... just kind of a lateral move type thing but I like it SOOO much more. But thats how Apple gets you. They tell you this is the best way to do things so the people who dont know anything buy Apple (not just people who dont know anything obviously...).

In fact didnt Apple come out with a statement saying that the iPhone dimensions are the perfect size for a phone and they would not change them... I bet iPhone 5 has a bigger screen which of course Apple will talk about as if they discovered bigger screens.

All that being said I could see liking apple products. In fact I was very interested in OSX and even dual-booted on my PC/Laptop for a bit

I don't hate apple their products are top notch i would buy it if IOS wasn't so simple...only thing i dislike about apple is how they deal with competiton these patent wars are out of control
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
Like a lot of people in this thread I dislike Apple's business practices. The product itself is ok. Competition is good, if Apple were the only ones with a touch screen smartphone we would still be buying iPhone 3g and paying $2000 for them. For some reason Apple seem to want to stifle competition with silly patents, and the way they try and lock their customers into iTunes suggests they also fear the right for consumers to make their own choices.

I really hope Google are awarded the patents they are applying for related to the notifications drawer, then Apple can enjoy some of its own medicine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Notification Center. =p not drawer

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DC Daniel:
Do not dislike iPhone. I think it's a great product used it for 4 years, but after a while it just got boring as hell. When they first launched the iphone it was amazing, but the gui right now is just out of date. However gui aside, it is a great product. There's a reason that it's one of the most popular devices out there, it works really well. People love it for the same reason a lot of people love JB right now. It just feels really polished. I love my Nex but sometimes I still miss the tight integration and polish of the iphone (honestly I miss more features then I did on the iPhone). Luckily android is catching up and JB is ****ing amazing.

Anyway Apple an sich bugs the hell out of me. The thing that bothers me is that they could do so much better if they weren't such enormous douchebags. the same could be said about google, although apple is definitely the bigger douche :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Do you call them stupid??? They know EVERYTHING about all of their 16 icons on home screen!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsnstuff:
Don't hate their products. I use an iPad because I honestly feel Android tablets have a LONG way to go before they are as nice as the iPad. As far as fluidity and tablet specific apps go anyway. I think it's sad that even Google + JUST got a Tablet specific app and even that doesn't seem to be very good. For other things the Android tablets certainly are better, but they are things I hardly ever used.

I also use a Mac Mini as my main media center pc at home. So if I like any of their products I'll buy it. My issue is with the misinformation that people get from them. The way that if apple says they have a new magical feature people tend to believe it. So when I talk crap about Apple, I'm really just trying to educate people on the truths.

They are also like that guy you dislike and then dislike even more because everything they do seems to be good and everything just seems to go right for him. For example, Apple just got this patent for "peripheral treatment for head-mounted displays". SO I wonder how Apple even gets a patent like this when Google Glasses has been talked about for a while now and the whole idea of a head mounted display is nothing new!
