This just isn't true, sadly. In fact, if anything, it's always the Android users starting threads to have a pop at Apple.

After all, we did this thread recently, but yet another one appears.

I'm not insecure about it.

I would buy apple if it was up there...Its not sadly...I just wondered why poeple allowed themselves to be brainwashed into buying overpriced slower tech.

Quite frankly any phone nowadays that doesn;t do 1080p video is pap?

no?

why would I...I have no interest in fast bikes or 125's that try to look like fast bikes..I have no interest in Apple products that try to claim innovation when in fact they are lagging behind.

You are aware that the IPhone 4 is a year old now, yea?

It's taken samsung and the rest 3 years to make a phone that is better than the 3GS, so how exactly are apple lagging behind? Yes the phone that has not long been released is better than a phone a year old, well bugger me with a stick that is surprising.

I've also heard a rumour that the new Sony tv is better than the Sony tv I had 20 years ago? Can you confirm this?

People with Apple devices clearly don't constantly ram it home - there are so many iPhone users in the world that you'd literally never hear anything but people talking about how awesome they are if what you say was true.

You clearly do care because you made an entire dedicated butthurt about Apple thread.

You insist you bought your bike because it's complete crap. Righto, good for you. Ignore the perfectly valid points I made and quote... wait for it... A STATISTIC to back yourself up.

Apple lagging behind blah blah, doesn't even dignify a proper response, so PPPHHHFFFFRT

Next time you're at the lights and a real motorbike pulls up next to you, save one of your tiny, testicle shrinking tears for me. Bonus points if it's a girl riding it.

And yes, I'm upset. I hate myself for buying Apple products. You have no idea the self-loathing I have to deal with daily. It's just horrible. I don't have enough teraflops

I don't see much of that personally tbh

Not seen the new Natwest Bank advert?

Its an apple ad made by a bank

The seeling point of the bank is not CS or interest rates or telephone banking its selling point is an apple ad.

Disgusting on every level

Exactly, you don't see sigs on this forum with the little Apple weeing on the Android man. It makes me embarrassed for them, honestly.

Apple drip feed tech to the masses and people suck it in.

Whats going to be new in the Iphone 5 that couldn't be implemented in the iphone 4?

Disgusting on every level is a bit harsh and emotive surely?

Are you drunk?

pioneer2000 · 13 Jul 2011 at 02:20

The only downside I can think of as an iPhone owner is that now EVERYONE seems to have one! I used to look cool with my 1st gen, now I feel like a commoner!

Oh and in case you haven't used it... That Natwest app is wicked! Is it on android?

I've not seen it, no... but as the iPhone is much higher selling that any other single handset it makes sense for them to aim something towards to the larger user base. Duh.

Either way, it's not the users going on about it like you are.

Edit: Is this the ad? http://www.tellyads.com/show_movie.php?filename=TA9862

If so just lol it's an ad showing off a new service that they offer which happens to be available on iOS.

Erm, don't Samsung do just that? Or do they just look at what Apple make and copy it?

Biohazard · 13 Jul 2011 at 02:24

I've got a samsung mp3 player and some crappy lg phone.

What does that make me?

Its funny all the bikers I know and have come across and the bike guys at work love my bike...They said great choice cracking bullet proof engine and have fun.

These guys rider ducati 1100's and XJ6's though...I'm glad the real deal bikers see it for what it is.

Your point?

Shayper · 13 Jul 2011 at 02:26

Wow, the OP is presenting his argument with more than a degree of vehemence...

You know, in all my time on these forums, I've never seen such fanboyish arguments as those presented against Apple. Well, AMD vs NVIDIA come close but still. It is never the other way round, people always seem to find an excuse to take a pop at Apple.

May I ask why? Honest answer please, there's no point lying.

I'm posting on my iPad 2 listening to my iTunes library - I'm cool. I do have 2 Samsung tv's and both of them have been faulty - that's not cool.
