And i get that.
You force your device to tailor your needs. That's swell. But I want a device that's already tailored to my needs. Oh...and works. Yeah, it WORKING is a big plus.
What you seem to gloss over is that all the "apple centric" great design shit...stuff like i-tunes, i-cloud...changing their power adapter for no good reason (don't give me a thinner bullshit) it's a money grab. The head phone jack being tossed so they can make their already thin and bendable phone...thinner is bullshit. When i-cloud first came out it auto uploaded everything and I didn't remember giving it permission to do so...it just did so. And shutting it entirely off, like everything else with apple, required a google search and a tutorial video.
Developing for them and being forced to compile your shit in x code because you work on a pc, is bullshit.
Their renaming and fucking up every song file you have on your phone...oh you wanna share a song with someone? Good luck finding "ACDC - Thunderstruck" as it's now named "1Hn6G". Wanna share a video with someone? Fuck you, use i-tunes. Wanna drop a new song onto your phone? Fuck you, use i-tunes.
And finally surfing the web. Something so outrageously simple in today's age. Something my 12 year oldd lap top does flawlessly still...is a god damn nightmare because of reasons that are unknown to me...but I guess it's apple's way of saying hey, you haven't bought an apple product in a few years like everyone else...so we'll just slowly beat the fuck out of your devices with these "updates". I mean how else can you explain products that are less than 5 years old having issues simply web browsing?
While I can forgive my 4 year old phone for having a bettery life that goes from 25 percent to 10 percent in a blink...I can't everything else.
It's a shit product going in a shit direction. The fact that you wanna ignore all that because you yourself take the time to force the phone to stop being an apple product. I and everyone else shouldn't have to do that. It should simply be a good phone.
If phones were people, i-phones would be hitler.
I could say stuff like "Show me on the doll where mean ole' Apple touched you" and be a dick, but I get exactly what your saying.
Apple iPhones are not for you.
Apple iPhones are for ALOT of people.
Apple iPhones are not for EVERYONE.
This goes for anything really. I get it. I can see your frustrations with them. To each their own.
