If it really true that haters are doing so just for hate, you have to wonder if people have nothing else to do!

    Come on guys. Can you please stop writing negative reveiws about Apple????
    You just make Apple products more expensive, cause more people most activley watch, control and delete these reviews and we have to pay for it.

              Just two points for consideration:
              1) Hands up all of you folks who have ever posted a comment on the MANUFACTURER'S product page. And how many of you do actually read the user reviews there?
              2) Taking into account how many people with questionable argumentation pathways are wandering through internet, does it make any sense to expose your official website to an unavoidable amount of hatred? Or is it better to let the flamewars rage on more-or-less tech websites under a (hopefully neutral) review (hopefully written by a professional)?
              The point is, it may bring some bad publicity. But on the other hand, giving any single person space on your website is like leaving a box of glass markers next to your carefully polished storefront. I'd guess a schematic picture of genitals would be one of the first three "contributions."

                  Kingslayer, 22 Nov 2019Apple's YouTube channel and Twitter page disables comments ... morehaha, I agree at you mate why remove something at first place if they can reconfigure it the comment box for example apple id needed for comment something, they forgot something simple and becomes a big deal, a bit scary indeed happening at apple first a major required update if you don't get the update you can't use internet it's like they pushing people to update to a newer product and your hard earned money will be gone, the comment box can be a good source for a new development of upcoming phone and to see the problem and create a fix update for a certain issue, that's one of the down side of removing the comment section or just filter the box

                    Dialer, 22 Nov 2019Its a great move by Apple to do it, Many people who dont bu... moreI don't see a wrong move by apple, but those comments can be a real user experience and can't hide it anymore, and the comment section must be always seen by the development team so that they can also check if it's real or not and release a fix updates and enhance the coming new phone on next year that's the up and down I can see, you remove it because you can't accept a negative comment or real comments at all and at the same time you just don't want to here others to make a better innovation that been lost after steve jobs days at apple

                      Apple respond: in order to be positive you have to removed all the negative comments..
                      Innovation man... it's innovation! "Sight"

                        Maybe Apple profited the Trump's umbrella to improve their own dictatorial customer/consumer politic... More of the same.

                            Regressive technology with anti consumer stance sold at overpriced rates.

                            It had to happen, first with the hiding of sales figures, then moderating and banning non-staff people from their forums, now this.

It is the right... moreOf course Apploo staff will tell us about the throttling in one year, updates that constantly brick their phones, $1000 cost of replacing broken glass backs, removing features in the name of innovation... yes I will totally believe their marketing spout.

                                Apple just can't accept criticism. They can't accept that their products are flawed.

Bought enough adapters to last me a lifetime and said bye bye to the redundant second hole. Universal ports, they are the future! Did you know?

                                      Pointless to have a critics section. Only forums are trusted. There always will be Fanboys loving the product or Haters and supporters of both groups. The best,real critics and analysts will get shaded away from the groups of both mentioned above and be unnoticed.
