I do see examples like yours daily on the internet. "Apple charge this amount $... and you can get this _______ for this amount $.... "Apple is still charging $450 for the unlocked 16GB iPhone 4S. Meanwhile the 16GB Nexus 4 is $250, and it has a larger, higher resolution screen, a faster quad core processor and more RAM(no more reloading browser tabs, YAY!).
So what? Buy the cheaper alternative that you feel is better. Why the bitterness towards a product you have no interest in buying? I really don't get some peoples agenda on subjects like this. I check out MR every day out of interest to see what is happening and it is clear a big chunk of the discussion is to justify why Apple are so rubbish. If those people were happy with their devices and the choices they made, why are they complaining about what they perceive to be an inferior product?! I don't have a membership on Android forums to mock products I don't have an interest in buying. I just have to shake my head reading some of this stuff.
I think I need a lay down.
