Yes, because what is popular is always the best.

You must fap to the knowledge that you may one day get to see Lady Gaga's semi-functional tube-steak in person.

But this thread isn't about what's best. It's turned into slamming something for no reason other than irrational hate.

So what if you don't like the iPhone. He DOES. Does the fact that someone likes the iPhone make you THAT angry?

I blame Apple's Mac Vs PC commercials. They brought a new level of rhetoric and hatred to the conflict.

Apple wanted to cash in on an "us vs them" mentality, but with 97% of the world's personal computing market using something besides Apple, you have to expect a good amount of backlash.

I don't know what you think, but this thread is pure win. I've never been so proud to be surrounded by a bunch of ... whatever all of you are. :D

I switched from blackberry to iphone and still love my iphone. Who wants to fight about it? I don't love it because it's an apple product like so many others... it's just a really solid device that has great apps and good features for the money. See past the fucking label for once you narrow minded fucktards.

I hear ya. I personally think we have reached the point, though, where the Mac haters are significantly more arrogant and annoying than Mac lovers (and I certainly would not have said that several years ago).

One thing Apple is absolutely pioneering is the idea that non-user-replaceable batteries are "better".

Nothing says forced obsolescence like a battery that can't be replaced by the user.

That is annoying, but as long as you have an Apple store nearby it's not a huge inconvenience and saves you having to deal with recycling the old one.

You reminded me of this quote:

Why post rants and hateful crap about a product that doesn't affect you at all???

It's bandwagoning and you know it.

You're in the same class as emos and goths. Happy hating...

I used to hate iPhone owners.

Now I own one and I love it.

We have iPhone parties 24/7.

Is that like a rainbow party, but with hipster guys and their iPhones?

sucks if someone JUST got a iphone 3G w/ a 2 year contract. To upgrade, you'll have to pay $399 for 16GB or $499 for 32GB.

The new version has been expected for many months now.

Also, you can sell the old one on eBay for a decent amount.

You need to warn me in advance so I can turn off my sarcasm meter.
Now I've got fucking shrapnel all over the fucking room!

EDIT: Just as well. The sarcasm in this thread is reaching critical mass. Soon we will implode the internet.

But before that happens we will all love that one special night, when 3 apple fanboys got owned like the skinny new guy in a state prison.

You guys crack me up. This thread I declare a Winnar!

Anyways regarding the iPhone, it's cool and all but not enough for me to jump ship from Verizon.
