Meme should be targeting apple, not it's users. I get why people like there stuff, but spec wise, they overcharge for the cheapest upgrades and at the same time, pat themselves on the back like they do gods work or something.
As an IT worker, Apple products are fine. Not my bag, but fine. Just different issues than PCs and Android. Apple fanboys, however, are just the worst. One of my bosses once wanted me to tear out and rebuild the entire physical network because he had a problem with Safari on one of his Macs.
And they do so because there are stupid people buying their shit. Pretty simple.
Being tech support for so many people, an app changing the location of a button to the other side is enough for people to call you. Not everyone is tech savy, and not everyone likes change, apple used to be the leader in the smartphone space, you get used to one thing and you can't get out without spending a lot of time, time people just tend to not always have.
If all android manufacturers pulled the same stunts as apple, I doubt many would switch to a Linux mobile OS (it's just not there yet), normally you would suck it up and deal with it.
Don't blame the user, blame the manufacturer
Why not blame both?
If Apple is shit for setting those prices, then so are their customers for paying them those prices.
Well yeah, that's pretty obviously the point of this post
The main post, yes. Not the person at the root of this thread.
