In light of the fact that we Apple haters and people who know better are running out of room to complain, it makes sense a new forum is started to explain the basis of our discontent. Here are my top 10 reasons to hate apple.
1) White Logo - Clearly, Steve Jobs planned on saving costs for colour printing and colour etching on all the new products. Remember the good old days when the logo was a rainbow apple!? And have they passed on any of the savings?
Android 1: Apple 0
2) 3/4 of an Apple for a logo - Same logic as above. What? For $1000+ they couldn't have friggin completed the whole apple?
Android robot is so cute.

3) Headphone Jack - I for one am shocked and appalled that this "new phone" doesn't even come with a headphone jack. It's clearly a corporate scam to sell Bluetooth headsets!!!! Clearly Bose is in on this plan to sell stuff and make money. Wait, and I can't charge my phone AND use my headphones at the same time??????
What am I going to do at night when I'm sitting in bed, my battery is at 2 percent, my Bluetooth headset battery is down, and my partner doesn't want to talk to me?? How would I occupy my ears for those 9 minutes it takes to do a battery top up???

4) Lack of Security/Suicide Bombing Feature - in this day of terrorism and online hacking, why is their no built in self destruct feature????

5) Dated hardware - the technology in the new iPhone is soooo 2015. I don't care whether the software is streamlined to maximize the hardware. Give me more MHz, GBs, Nanoblings, and any other stats that I can show off to my more educated android using engineering friends. Because that's what matters…

6) Apple users are such fan bois - they are all just hippies, moms and dads who don't have electrical engineering degrees, girls, celebrities, doctors who have money to throw around, and other idiots who don't know any better about customization, not being a sheep, and living on the cutting edge of technology.
Everybody should be able to hack into their os and customize every aspect of your phone because that's freedom baby. That's what our forefathers fought for and I for one, won't let their sacrifice go to waste.
Them and their hippy 1 billion friends can waste their money on phones that will clearly be useless in 5 months when everybody realises headphone jacks are a must of the future.
Same goes for their computers and no floppy disks.

7) Money loving - I am sick and tired of Apple making so much money. I work hard for my cash and I am not going to have some tax evading corporation tell me how much I need a phone without a headset. I declare, with absolute resolve, that all my future electronics purchases will be from companies who don't care about money, and who are operatong to further the telecommunications industry selflessly. Their investors can go stuff themselves unless they too are in it for the betterment of mankind.
I wish other companies such as Blackberry and Nokia would take charge of the industry again. Based on their earnings, they clearly weren't in it for the money at all!

8) Marketing and Trickery - what is this marketing I keep hearing about??? Are they trying to trick me into buying their phone??
I am absolutely happy sitting here in my moms basement complaining about corporate tactics on Ozbargain thank you very much.
And that fancy packaging? I haven't changed out of my track pants In 3 months. So if I don't care what I look like, clearly packaging doesn't matter. It's what's on the inside that counts.

9) Using New Weird Propietary crap - Don't even get me started with this Propietary cable. I for one would like the original cable. Should I not have been notified that cables might change prior to my purchase of the 2008 Bose Sound Dock? You mean I can't pass it down to my grandkids when I die???
Along the same lines, I'm pissed off at Apple making MP3s so portable. People keep looking at me when I change tapes on my waterproof Sony Walkman, which btw uses replaceable AA batteries, has unbelievable wired stereo sound, and also has a radio tuner!!!! Combine that with my landline, I can listen to music all day without missing a phone call or worrying about a dead battery.

10) Aesthetics - Apple users are such wannabes who just want new gear to look cool. They don't care that it's inferior.
They should use their MacBooks and iPhones w their wannabe Beats Bluetooth headsets, drive their underpowered c class Mercedes, and drink their hipster lattes out of my face.
I am perfectly fine with my customized home made PC that can log in faster than you can type! I can run it on a Linux operating system that is so customizable, that can use any pointer I want with software that you haven't even heard of. and, I will use my android phone that is so advanced in specs and so cheap, that I can watch 3D movies with all my friends on a super bright screen while listening to my plugged in headset whilst I'm still charging my phone.
All kidding aside.
Why don't we all jus use whatever phone we like for whatever reasons we like them?
Arguing about Apple vs Others is like arguing whether Christianity or Islam is the best.
In the end, they both have their merits and anybody who is too passionate about his or her choice has missed the boat on why we have these things.
You have clearly spent an awful lot of time reading and digesting these pointless arguments.
