    Apple fanboys are the most frustrating people to talk to.

    They find any illogical reason to justify what apple does.

      Go on. What does Apple do that is uniquely Apple that fanbois justify?

        Was that a typo, or did you intentionally spell fanboys with an I?

        You are my example. You see how defensive you got when I criticized apple?

          I asked for an example or two. If that’s your best example of frustrating irrationality-pfft. :)

            What about having the ability to sideload apps?

            So many people are hard against that even though they are not being forced to use it.

              I used to be a jailbreaker, so I’m not against sideloading apps. However, I can see how if its not properly designed, sideloading could make it easier to trick people into installing dodgy executables and malware on their phone. It’s not just about that sweet 30% cut.
