For example all of you seem to have missed that the new Apple iPhone 5C is only $99 and comes in all the colors you might want.

The new iPhone 5S comes in Platinum, Grey and Gold. It has Touch-ID (Fingerprint Identity sensor, 64 Bit A7 Chip, LTE, etc. It has 2 microphones (1 in front and 1 behind). Why? The phone "listens" to the sound coming from behind the phone and cancels it out of the front, letting you talk and be heard in noisy environments, plus about a million other features.

If you want to talk about computers, holy shit - Apple Macs are far and beyond the best, fastest computers available. The Macbook Air boots from power-off to desktop in 9 seconds! Batteries last for 8 hours. The 2 imacs on my desk NEVER crash, and screen quality and resolution are unparalleled.

GET THIS :

This past summer I sold my Macbook and wanted a new Macbook air. I walked into the store and walked out with the new machine 5 minutes later.

I took it to an outdoor pub, unpacked it and turned it on. FULL BATTERY CHARGE right out of the box. I was online in seconds, and downloaded the tools I wanted such as Skype, CuteFTP, Editors, as well as our own software because we wanted to do a live broadcast from the pub. 9 MINUTES AFTER I UNPACKED THE BOX, I WAS UP AND RUNNING AND BROADCASTING. 9 MINUTES!

PC users call Apple Users "hipsters" because deep down they feel excluded from the club when in reality Apple are PC users who have simply taken the chance to buy a product that they discovered to be better. Who the fuck wants to put up with 2 hours of installation, updates, blue screens of death, anti-virus updates, Pop-ups, shitty tech support and endless TSR programs pre-loaded for you that suck every bit of memory you have all while trying to deal with underpowered hardware and completely shitty operating system like Windows?

And speaking of support: You can login to Apple.com and fill out a simple form (name, email, phone number) and Apple support CALLS YOU, usually within a few seconds, to help you with your problem. In 4 years I've had to call them only 3 times. The support I had was fast, polite, American / Canadian (non-Indian), and FREE FREE FREE.

The only thing I've had to pay for was for the new version of the Mac OS operating which cost me.... wait for it..... $20.00. How much is Windows now? $300? Give me a break.

Don't get me wrong. If your phone or your PC works for you then fantastic, stay where you are. But if you're a PC guy who has never even tried a Mac, who has never owned one, or even dared walk into a store and ask a salesrep a question, your opinion is worth shit. Kindly just STFU.

I've owned PC's all my life and bought my first Mac about 4 years ago. I still have a PC on my desk but it is almost never used now thanks to the 2 x iMac 27's I have. I can easily say that I know how both work, and Apple Haters who have never even owned an Apple product are extremely obvious in their ridiculous rants.

and btw (me as a former professional Apple user - not making that up, i swear): I can tell you dozens of stories that contradict yours. It's just useless, i figured that out over the years. If someone - like you - is such a stubborn Apple fanatic, you would never change your mind anyways.

i had people in my staff that told me how great Apple is and that it never crashes that i saw with my own eyes restarting their Mac like 5 times a day (back then it was Mac OS 9 - but the attitude was the same)

it's completely pointless to argue - and as you can see in the graphics posted on page 1, the general population has spoken anyways. Mac never had more than 5-7% marketshare in the PC market and it (most probably) will never have.
