.........aaaaaand the iPhone 6 will be out around christmas.
Keep wasting your money with minescule changes to the same device while completely roshambo-ing all previous owners by taking fuctionality away from them *coughSiricough*
Next the screen will have a bad bug and they will say "You're looking at it wrong", just like the millions of spiderwebbed i**** products you see pics all over the next "You're dropping it wrong"
The iPhone is one of the best phones out there. All that bullshit you are talking about is old.
And this is coming from a Windows Phone user.
Although tech brands have become nothing but a reflection of our individuality--which have increasingly done nothing but further dampen one's ability to give credit where it's due--, having that in mind, all I'll say to you is you should start to embrace diversity.
I don't know what kind of device you use, but I can assure with the utmost certainty from my part, that I can name you at least 3 negative aspects of it. The same applies to every platform, device, or piece of technology. Turns out, nothing is perfect. I know right?!
The majority of people that buy Apple product do it because they <i>are</i> good products, and people like them. Don't let your "fanboyism" blind you. It is just like this: unknown to many, Microsoft Stores are often times more or just as packed as Apple Stores. I've had people look utterly surprised when they hear people actually go out and buy physical copies of Windows. Or even, at the fact that you could actually take your Windows laptop or desktop to a Microsoft Store and be serviced. Granted there are not as many stores, but this is usually one of the main attack points Apple users use to compare Microsoft's supposed total lack of Windows support.
But no, all you hear and read about is the account from someone here and there on the Internet. Or the "tech" article who was actually written by someone who happened to be lucky enough put up a website, and have enough cash laying around to own tons of smartphones to then "review" them and post them on YouTube (which does <b>not</b> precisely translates to actually being literate in technology). You heard about the "death-grip" and probably never used an iPhone extensively, or else you would know that, aside from the expected cons, it offers a great design and build, OS performance, ecosystem, customer service, and great integration with other Apple products and services.
That's not to say critiquing other platforms' shortcomings is wrong; I, myself, think I am particularly known around here for strongly voicing my opinions on certain things, but completely dismissing the line of devices that literally launched the "era of smartphones" that inevitably caused you to own your current device just for 2 or 3 of its imperfections, and saying the owners and subsequent buyers of the platform--who do so willingly, for the most part--who see some value in spending their hard earned cash however they please are in fact wasting it, is, to put it bluntly, the unadulterated definition of asininity.
There's a bigger reality out there: you, your friends or family are nothing but less than 0.1% of an immeasurably infinitesimal portion the population. So hypothetically, let's say you, your friends or family don't use iPhones, it all really can be mathematically translated to this for much quicker comprehension: there's 311,591,917 persons in this goddamn country, do you think it even remotely matters, quantitatively, that, still hypothetically, everyone you know doesn't have an iPhone? No. There's a quite a few <i>millions</i> that bought it and like it, and some more <i>millions</i> that plan to.
TL;DR
Shut the **** up.
