Re: Breaking...Apple blocks Samsung imports!!!
Had an iPhone for a while. Every OS update seemed to make it slower. Lot of app blow-up issues after I had it a while.

My wifi went out on it and I had to send it back. I had to pay a few hundred dollars deposit to get them to send me the new one immediately. If I didn't pay they were going to wait until they received my broken one before sending the replacement. Really?

I got to feeling like they were just trying to drive me into buying a new phone. So I did.

The Galaxy SII has been very good for me. Upgraded OS last night and it got faster. Have had it a while now and no problems.

I have an android now but I hate all the google crap that's built into the phone, I have about 12 programs running on google
 Quoting: MONSTER


I have a factory stock Samsung Galaxy S4 and have been able to deactivate most of the Google and Samsung crap I don't want just using the settings.

If you hate all the bloatware, you can pick up a Galaxy S4 Google Edition or a Nexus 4 Google Edition which run pure Android.

I have a Nexus 7 tablet running pure Android and it's so far ahead of my iPad Mini in terms of functionality, power, speed and ergonomics, it's embarrassing (for Apple).

iPhones are packed with bloatware too, but unlike the Android 4.2/4.3 devices, there's nothing you can do about it.

The days of a single-company product which is incompatible with anything but that company's products are over. Kick-arse hardware mated to open source operating systems (Android and Ubuntu) are the future, and Apple will soon fade to a distant memory for all the ex-hipsters out there.

Re: Breaking...Apple blocks Samsung imports!!!
The indisputable fact of the matter is, WHO invented the touch phone? Who invented the little icons on the screen you touch?

APPLE DID.

And every other WANNABE copied them. Android, Galaxy, Motorola, Samsung.... ALL of them RIPPED OFF Apple Technology and products because they would be EXTINCT otherwise.

Say what you will about Apple, and I don't agree with DRM and some of the things they do with iTunes, but Jobs was a genius.

That's why I don't support the other guys. They are wannabe's It's like learning to play guitar and instead of spending the years and the sweat and the tears developing your own style and formulating something really to say....

You just go and buy Metallica's gear and amps and think your Hetfield.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32935673


Reasons why Apple will fall behind.... Jobs' Ideals aren't with the company anymore, and their OS is boring an old now. Imo I think Jobs was killed off, to further the company into other avenues. Jobs was notorious for being a asshole in business fields and while he was initiative he tended to not to be open to other ideas, only his own.

It's good to have other companies improve on something, because Apple isn't.

In regards to being a better product?, it isn't. An average iPhone 5 is made for $70-90, the iPads a little more depending on model, and yet you pay the extreme $$$$ for these. Not forgetting that the factories hire children that work up to 18 hours a day for as little as $5 an hour.

While Apple was a future thinking company with jobs, it now just produces cheap chinese products that are overpriced and completely crap

Also talk to anyone that has owned an iPhone and I can guarantee that atleast 60-70% have broken the screen on it?

Reasons, is because Apple use a cheap Glass on their phones. To further reduce the production costs. This is done on purpose to further generate some type of income after the initial purchase. Don't believe me. Do a bit of research.

Apple makes an inferior product when it comes to phones. They are clearly a follower now, and are doing everything they can to not innovate and secure business through litigation versus competing.

Pathetic. People see this nonsense, and is at partly why Samsung is absolutely kicking Apples ass in the smartphone business. The more they do these toddler temper tantrum lawsuits, the more fucked up their image ends up being.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44782986



Apple has always been crap. They survive on ad campaigns to "creative" people who don't understand that they're buying inferior hardware wrapped in a shiny package for twice as much. Their entire customer base is made up of morans.
