a nerd posting arguing about which videogame console is better is at least 5x as more dignified than apple nerds, because consoles come out every 5 or so but new phones come out every goddamn year (or less)

Here's an announcement: iPhones are overpriced crap and iOS is a garbage operating system.

They are the exact same price as any other 2 year contract phone.

Android is terrible, my tablet constantly launches background apps that I will never use. I kill them all, hit Chrome, and like 5 more open. Its the worst OS on planet Earth.

Every major carrier has free iPhones the argument about price can't be made. The only reason to buy android is you are making the conscious decision to have an inferior product so you can be different in some weird way. Apple will lead us into the cyberpunk future just accept it

true but like 2 US major carriers just dropped hardware subsidies on new phone contracts so it'll be neat to see if people still buy iphones on those plans

She is a cat of significant gravy.
They will be announcing a groundbreaking new product, a phone with a 4.69 inch screen. Revolutionary. Nothing Apple announces is even going to approach that hardware encryption device Google showed off at Google I/O, and that's just boring old encryption. Speaking of that hardware encryption device, nobody knows about it because it wasn't shown at the keynote. It's a separate open source hardware device that encrypts files and messages. It's completely independent of the OS, the OS just sees a folder.

How is retina a gimmick? Hi dpi is the future and OS X is the only OS to really do it well. There is no downside to retina in Apple products because they are the only brand that understands how to put batteries in laptops.

Seriously guys just accept that apple is really loving good at making products that work well and are easy to use. Those who don't accept Apple just want a reason to be different than the majority and are willing to get a piece of poo poo that will never see an update and will be 100% unsupported in a year. But keep buying crap and keeping giving google all your personal data because they are truly a company that loves nerds and respects you.
