Ignorant iPhone users

[gam3r]

Does anyone have a hard time explaining to people what Android is?

I have plenty of friends of have iPhones who all pay extortionate amounts and they refuse to believe that Android is as good as iOS!

Generally I get a lot of "ohh whats that?" - When I explain that it's an Android handset their faces go blank as if to say "android what?"

Silly people

I have the Galaxy S and several people have called it an iPhone knock-off (through ignorance and also trying to wind me up!). Makes me sad.

I get that as well, but it doesn't help that Samsung decided to make the damn phone look like a 3GS!

so your friends are not as geeky as you

this makes them silly ?

Not at all, they just fail to recognise that Android could be remotely anywhere as good as iOS.

iPhone user ignorance or yours? The iPhone is a fine device, exceptionally well put together and with excellent software, both official and home brew.

I am sure android is nice too

Ignorant iPhone User

I agree with you, the build quality is exceptional and the software is good - I'm not denying that and I'm not saying that all iPhone users are ignorant.

The arrogance of the OP is just amazing! How arrogant can one person be! Just because your friends don't know what Android is doesn't make them ignorant. Maybe they just don't follow technology so don't really care? Not everyone follows mobile phones and operating systems for a hobby.

It amazes me how arrogant a lot of tech people are when it comes to others not knowing about something and the tech person thinking they are stupid because they have never heard of it! When I go biking and don't know something about bikes, you aren't called stupid but people enjoy talking about it and explaining. Never understood what it is with the tech people that think anyone who hasn't heard of the latest technology is stupid/ignorant

Lol...relax.

It's not only that, but in general I find that many people just think iPhone is the greatest and bestest mobile and they have to have it regardless of the price and what else is available. Heck when I went to the o2 shop a few months ago I had to wait in a queue of people wanting to buy iPhones, the woman in front took out 2x contracts on the iPhone. I'm sure if you sat with her and tried to sell an alternative phone with superior features, she wouldn't give a toss and just go with the iPhone anyway because it's an iPhone!

I'm not denying that the iPhone isn't a good bit of kit because it is.

And how does this affect you?

It doesn't, just a rant about my idiot friends.
