Apple Fans are mindless

[Dontazemebro]

I use both platforms and actually prefer the overall package of Android to iOS

Saying that, I peruse other Android forums and I can tell you right now, macrumors is far more even keel than any dedicated android forum I've ever been on.

Seems like most of the fanatical nuts have already hooked their buggy & cart to the Android bandwagon. I think someone said it best in the alternative section.

Apple fanatics fantasize about their love for apple products.

Android fanatics fantasize about why Apple users don't love their Android products.

Yes Fandroid! I am getting tired of your revisionist history of Apple and the Mac Heads revisionists!

Ah yes, the risks one takes when one ventures out

Thoroughly skewed just for your pleasure

Man Utd, vs. Liverpool
BMW vs. Mercedes
Star Wars vs. Star Trek
Coca Cola vs. Pepsi
Yankees vs. Red Sox
North vs. South
Communism vs. Capitalism
Celtic vs. Rangers
McLaren vs. Ferrari
Spy vs. Spy
...etc

People love to pick sides, and defend the sides they have picked and attack the rival.
The neutrals look from the sidelines and don't understand the fuss.

This is human nature.

We all pick sides, somewhere, sometime, one way or another.

Some of us pick Apple and are called fanboys and object to the copy-machines.
Others are more neutral (like the OP) and don't understand the issues.

You get used to it and understand. People are like this. That makes us fun-beings.

Not my words but i have seen plenty of case scenarios like this.

I am impressed that the mods have allowed this thread. Rules are certainly becoming more relaxed. I'm a fan.

As for Apple "fans" being mindless, please. What is mindless is posting such a trolling thought (calling it a thought it giving it more credit than it deserves) on a site dedicated to Apple.

I don't think I am mindless for finding that I prefer one system over another. I also know I am not mindless for choosing once I tried both. But why does it matter what people do? Seems like a waste of time.

Yes because no brand ever has had this type of following.. EVER. And why is it if you like something it automatically a cult following?

Ford vs Chevy
Coke vs Pepsi
Bud vs Coors
etc

Don't even get me started on sports......
Yankees vs Boston comes to mind, you should check out one of those games

Well said, and I agree completely.

I like Apple products but I am not a cult follower like many of the people on these forums seem to be.

Any sufficiently large group of like-minded people will contain extremists that are louder than most, but not representative of the group as a whole.

I personally know many people with devices of all brands and none of them seem to be mindless. On the Internet... well... that's a wholly different thing.

What I find funny is this...

Apple fans are so against every other product and company that produces competitive products that they jump at the chance to bad mouth the competition, when in fact they should be applauding companies like Google, Amazon, Samsung.

You see if there is no decent competition, then there is nothing to push Apple to provide a better deal to its customers. If Apple continues to reign supreme selling 16gb iPads, then they will never change and increase the amount of storage. If however, other competing companies increase storage and charge less, it will force Apple to follow suit.

Competition between companies is good for the customer. Stop being so ignorant.

Cult following isn't a bad thing. Its totally acceptable to be LOYAL to a brand. Especially if you value their product.

Now if the loyal apple customer is bashing other companies for no apparent reason, then yes that's a problem. However, loving your product and the company that makes the product you love, that should be encouraged.

Does the truth hurt? I thought you would be happy now Ex-Apple Evangelist Guy Kawasaki Now Working For Google At Motorola. Oh I forgot your a Samsung fanboy!

I don't have a problem with people having and defending their preferences. That's normal and completely understandable. It's when people get all religious about their stuff that I start taking issues.

Like the Delta Airlines pilots using the Surface over the iPad thread up in iOS News. There are people up there who are honestly angry about it, swearing that they'll never fly Delta again because "they don't feel safe using them anymore". One or two of them have even wrote angry letters to the company complaining about.

...and that's just dumb. And sad. Dumb and sad. It makes me weep.
