    [deleted post]Non-question? You mean you don't have facts to prove. Don't eat too much bitter gourd.

      I don't hate what I don't understand.

      Apple is apple and aprituate its existence. It doesn't do you any harm by existing.

        Have read few comments here and am surprised on how difficult and often childish people can be. Because of it, we, real users, can't really trust the reviews. As it has been mentioned, there are a lot of freebies reviews and haters. It is shame people can't keep some basic decency.

          Kingslayer, 22 Nov 2019Apple's YouTube channel and Twitter page disables comments ... moreyes yes. i enjoy seeing comments related to sony. its fanboys are very defensive and always make me laugh.

            Apple's YouTube channel and Twitter page disables comments as well. They're a joke. Insecure, self-conscious, low-esteem company. Other big companies don't do this. Not even all the hateful comments towards Samsung, Sony, and Google has them preventing us from commenting. My favorite is Sony's Twitter page. Sony liked several of my tweets.

            I've been considering buying an Apple Watch Series 3. It's only $129 at Walmart for Black Friday. But then I think of all the nonsense Apple has tried to pull off like slowing down iPhones without telling us and this disabling comments and reviews and go nah.. I don't want to make this greedy company any richer than they should.

            I suggest to avoid MacRumors Forums as well. I've been banned from that lame site many times if I speak negatively about Apple. I can always go back with a different email and hide my IP address but it's a waste of time. Apple acts like communism. They want to silence the truth from us and limit our options.

              LOL, who even read those reviews in Apple website? IF I am to read a review of a smarphone, I would go to Notebookcheck, GSMArena, Amazon, even user forums were much more reliable than the manufacturer's own website in terms true user review.

                But all the fans will defend

                  Louis Rossman, you're the man.
                  Apple finally has no trust on their customers.

                    Review shouldn't be public, but for those who bought the product? That way the review would be genuine...

                      Haters are going to hate. I actually love Apple products. They are far from perfect but they are my preferred choice. I ended joining Team Apple once Google sold Motorola to Lenovo. I use to buy pure Motorola but not anymore. The thing that pushed me a way from android the software back then. I recently bought a pixel 3a and that phone was garbage. I am disappointed in the iPhone 11 pro because of the Bluetooth issues. i have never had an issue with previous iphones and I have owned every single one except the very year it came out.

                          There are positive as well as negative aspects to it.

                          1) As far as I know (please correct me if otherwise) anybody could put up negative reviews of Apple products. Even Apple haters and people who have not used Apple products.
                          2) Negative point is that it reduces trust in Apple products.

                            OK you know what?! Louis Rossman was right about Apple.

                              So, kids' money is ok, kids' comments are not, huh Apple?

                              Apple must stop this "haters gonna hate" reaction as if they're themselves a bunch of kids, and start with "Why do people hate Apple at all?"
                              That mature approach should provide more solutions for the long run.

If I was Apple and was as powerful I would advice people on the genius bar to get in fights w customers every now and then so that to scare away the ill willed part of the customers...

                                    Rachel 15, 22 Nov 2019Who needs user reviews 😅🤣😂Then why come here lol

                                      IMO this is a bad move it will negative impression to the public instead they should've taken steps to ensure only Apple users post reviews like requiring to sign in with Apple ID and Apple device only or something like this
