'Yeah cos that's what I said?'
Yes, you did. Repeatedly.
'Have you read EVERY SINGLE REVIEW of the Iphone4?'
Yes, I have, I never said it was a crappy product, I said it wasn't the most superior and it still isn't. I mean, you can't even delete an auto-dial number, you have to delete the whole list? haha. One among many. Don't even get me started on expandability and configuration options. It's also about time they added multitasking. It's pretty late in the game for a smartphone to only just acquire that ability. Other phones have had it for ages now.
'It isn't just my view, it is the COLLECTIVE EDUCATED VIEW.'
Educated? Most definitely not. Apple fanboy reviews are the least educated of all. You just proved it because you haven't read every review. All you have to do is google "iphone 4 better than all phones?" to see the very first review says it is NOT better. You'll find just as many great reviews about Android phones as you will iPhones. You are so offended by my post that you are acting like I said the iPhone was a shitty product. I did not say anything of the sort. I only said it was not the #1 product available. If you weren't so blinded by your Apple Education, you'd see that.
'Why do you think they get so many sales?'
Hype. As stated earlier.
'The majority of the rest of the world disagrees with you on this, including pretty much every single independent website or magazine which has reviewed it.'
Please show me the global study on website reviews that you obtained this information from.
'Isn't that a fault of their competitors not marketing the products properly?'
So now you admit it's marketing?
'Since when can you speak for the millions of people who buy the Apple products?'
Ahem, you are the one who have consistently said "the world thinks this and that". You are the one trying to speak for all Apple buyers.
'And EVEN IF THEY BUY IT TO BE COOL, so what? That makes the Apple products better than others because they're cooler?'
Because they think cool is better quality or more advanced when it is not. They refuse to admit that cool is not better. You can't mess with their cool, as you are proving here. If Apple Fans would just say "It's a good product for me" instead of freaking out like you are claiming it's the BESTEST IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD, we wouldn't have anything to discuss, would we.
'Yeah that's why the majority of orders of the new iphone are from people who own the old one. They figured what with all the 'imaginary' crashing that you claim they may aswell face more of the same?'
Clearly someone who says their phone crashes is only "claiming" it crashes. I'll let them know that it is just an imaginary crash and the iphone actually never crashes. They can then have your Apple Educated Diploma for $199, signed by Steve Jobs himself. I can tell you, they won't frame it like you did.
'Wake up - a couple of stories about a product crashing means nothing.'
You'd think if the phones had such a perfect track record that the odds would be against the only few people who bought one having any problems. The fact that they do says the odds of having problems is much higher than you let on to be.
'The global experience of Iphones is SO GOOD such that the majority of the people ordering new ones are the people WHO HAVE OWNED AND USED THEM.'
There you go again speaking for the millions of Apple buyers. Who made you their spokeswoman?
Myself, I don't like change. If I have one type of phone, I'll continue to buy that type of phone because it is what I'm used to. I would hazard a guess to say that is why most people stick to one type of phone. Android users will always buy Android phones etc. Again, I never said it was a crappy product, I said it was not #1.
The other reasons for Apple fans continuing to buy Apple products is summed up perfectly in this comic:
