This is why YOU Hate Apple

This is why you hate Apple. And it isn't complicated.

To be honest, all of the hate of the iPhones, iMacs and iPads can be ponderous but Apple doesn't do anything to help themselves sometimes. So here it is, a video that tells you why people are starting to hate Apple and possibly why you do as well.

Here are a few comments on this excellent video:


1. I think one reason people passionately hate Apple is because they are so influential and their customers keep buying whatever they sell. You are right, if Apple makes stupid decisions, customers should just not buy that product and vote with their wallets. But people buy whatever Apple sells because they are inside this walled garden, and they either don't know what exists outside this garden, or they are just too deep inside it. So Apple can basically do whatever it wants and get away with it. Other companies see this and just try to copy some of Apple's dumb decisions (head phone jack, notch, etc). So Apple affects other brands too. That's why people so passionately hate Apple. It's the tragedy of the commons.


2. A huge reason people hate Apple that this video completely missed is that they take other companies' innovations and call them their innovation. Yes, Apple usually takes features from other companies and tries to make it better/ more polished. But claiming these features and their innovations is just plain deceitful. And they can basically get away with it due to the walled garden. A lot of people have a problem with that.

Another reason no expandable storage in any iPhone

Well, I don't hate Apple but as you said: If people buy that stuff, they'll continue with that, so I don't buy Apple-stuff.
😉
At the end of the day, I have reasons to not buy Apple products. I don't like their product politics of selling older tech in shiny outfits for double the worth. But hate is a much to emotional word. I'm not in love with any company but with ideas, innovations and the guts to try something completely different (like for example folding phones). 🤷‍♂️
I had a Palm, I had an Apple Newton and the first iPhone was a heck of innovation but since then... evolution, excuses and copyright-claims for round corners.
Not many reasons to have a second look at their products beside the software-update-frequency.
I always disliked touch-keyboards on tiny Smartphones, so I had Smartphones with physical keys. And when that disappeared, I switched to the biggest phones, I could get my hands on. And with the Note I got a pencil, which was so much more convenient.
I build my own computers, I choose my smartphones by a "price to need"-comparison but the brand comes really secondary or later. Otherwise I wouldn’t have so much Kickstarter crap here at home

People like iOS People like Android
It is what it is. Everybody is different

Not greed. It is called "What the market will bear."

There is more to Android than just Samsung.

I don't hate Apple, but in my personal opinion I just choose not to use their products because 1) Apple literally controls what you can and can't do with your phone, instead of being the other way around, like c'mon Apple! I paid for this phone; not you! and 2) I find that I can do more with Samsung products, they're more versatile, and I feel I get more for the price I pay...

But something I dislike about Apple is that when they implement/introduced a feature/technology in their flagships which have been out for a while, they do it in a way so that people immediately think that Apple "did it first" or "invented it" so when they see the feature/technology in other devices that have had it for a while, they come up and say "OH, BUT! BUT! THEY COPIED THAT FROM APPLE" like c'mon now, really! But then again that's people's fault for the most part, they're just ignorants 🤷🏻‍♂️

Travis, while I agree with your statement that Apple is also a business like any other and would like to make as much money as possible, I think you may have missed out on a few things when you spoke about their products being expensive and they could be doing some things out of greed. Yes, they are expensive but that’s what you pay for the years of hardware/software support, their own operating system, their own chips, their services, etc. They also make some amazing products like AirPods, iPads, etc. at decent prices. Their newest iPads; Air 3, and mini 5, which start at $399, are powered by the same A12 chip as their latest $1000 iPhones. There literally isn’t one Android tablet that comes close to their performance. While the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 from 2018 starts at $649 and comes with the Snapdragon 835, the same chip that came with their 2017 Galaxy S8. Coming to the fast charging, Apple includes a much powerful 12W adapter with their $329 iPad, and an 18W one with their $799 iPad Pro, both of which cost less or about the same as an iPhone XR. Now, do you really think that they couldn’t include the same adapter if they wanted to? They’re already manufacturing it anyway. Powerful adapters for smaller batteries are known to degrade the battery health quicker, and most people charge their phones all night. So I think they just want people to get most life out of their iPhone, and there are several inexpensive options for people who want fast charging. No one will buy a slower adapter when they get a fast one in the box. Coming to not listening to their consumers, Apple has always been the driving force when it came to technology (I know that this is highly subjective but they did revolutionize the computer and smartphone industry), so they’re stubborn but most of the time it does good momentarily even if not immediately, like the omission of the headphone jack. They did receive backlash when they were one of the first to omit the floppy and CD drives from their Macs. How many even care about them now? But they do listen when they’re wrong. Like the notification management on iOS, offering free replacement programs like for their somewhat flawed butterfly keyboards for 4 years after the purchase date, etc. It would be nice to see them change in some ways but I still think they’re doing their best without doing a bunch of arbitrary stuff just to prove that they’re innovating.

Imagine a phone worth 400 thousand in naira. Can't share music or videos, even with the same type of phone. Yhu'll have to buy all music. That's crazy Travis it's just lame to me.

I think both samsung knights and apple sheep need to calm down its only tech products.
Its not your children.

Back in my band-playing days I was absolutely all about certain brands of drums and cymbals.. I totally bought into the brand hype and put stickers on my car and wore the shirts to show how cool I was for using that brand. That is the same thing here...People love showing off their Apple bling.. It’s a fashion label.
One day I finally realized how delusional I was when I met a famous drummer. He was wearing a brand name shirt because THEY PAID HIM TO and he had a contract/sponsorship with them! They weren’t paying ME to wear their shirts, put stickers on my car, or play their cymbals on stage. I still bought them with my own money. I think it was THAT moment I became “woke”. I was free to choose whatever I thought sounded good, no matter the brand. I didn’t owe them anything! I didn’t need to advertise for them at all! We can be a fan and choose whatever we like but if we later like something else more.. we can choose that too! Ah, consumerism and capitalism. Thanks, I feel better now. And, I really don’t care how many damn Apple stickers are in the box, I throw them away anyway. It’s called a “brand” for a reason. You really want to “brand” yourself? Who owns who?🤓

People need to stop feeding their ego and stop buying things they don't really need... Let me guess what the excuse is... "This makes people believe I have lots of money when I don't", "I'll be more popular and make more friends because I have the latest and greatest" (oh please... grow up!) Unfortunately, people buy things they do not need and they wonder why when they get old they have no money to take care of themselves. Luckily, I learned my lessons in my 20's and did my calculations so when I was old I never will have that issue. If one is dependent upon how the world views them then I can only say one thing they are barking up the wrong tree and when you don't have all the coolest stuff or you run yourself broke you won't have anything to show for as well as friends or people who you thought were your friends.

I love apple products for simplicity, reliability, privacy, security, supports, good built, brand recognition and resell value.

[jzcgaming]

Don’t hate a company, they make some good and bad products. If you wanna hate something, hate the product for a SPECIFIC REASON!

[uwinvidanage]

Your argument is flawed apple products are great ( people buying them is not the issue)
the company is shitty- here are the reasons why apple gets hate
1. outrages Mac repair costs - charging 600$ for the replacement of a 60$ ribbon cable ( there are many insistences where apple charges 1000$+ for very simple repairs )
2. charging money for apple care to get decent repair charges
3. apple forums where most people are mislead & the discussions are controlled by moderators (most negative posts are deleted & commets are removed if they imply apple is at fault )
4. the failed macbook pro keyboard design (which apple still decides to keep using even after 3 years)
5. apple not adressing major issues puclicly
6. secrecy ( things like trotting iphones without informing consumers)
