It's way overdue.

Carol-, 05 Jan 2025Yes of course, that is an opinion of mine, based on what he... moreIf he idolises, then you demonise, I fail to see how one is better than the other, they are two sides of the same fanboy/hater coin. Again you exhibit the same conduct you criticise in others, and again you fail to see it. And I am no devotee of Apple, I can and have been be very critical about many choices they make.

I agree with you on one point though, further discussion with the likes of you is absolutely pointless.

    DaFink, 04 Jan 2025You cannot accuse others of doing what you are guilty of. Y... moreYes of course, that is an opinion of mine, based on what he said. And what he said is childish and idolizing apple, pretty much the same thing you also mostly do. So yeah, reading so much b.s i have to think that someone has the fealing that apple is he's friend. While of course, i am not the one empowered to criticize (fans)people and their biased, i am alowed to speak about it as i see fit.
    And again, dissmissing facts as being my opinion through the same: "apple complexity and other nonsense" b.s, pretty much tells me the biased niveau you also find yourself in, so excuse me for forming opinions about a person based on reactions that definetly shows deep fanboysm and biased.. what can also be translated in "love-blindness" or "brainwashing". I mean, there are fans of apple products that to least are able to see what apple as company is and does, some just won't.
    As i do not see why this discution should further continue, cause well, nobody here will change opinions or open the eyes, i would say that it is safe to put it to peace.

      Carol-, 03 Jan 2025Ah, you again, the one that always distorts what others say... moreYou cannot accuse others of doing what you are guilty of. You state, “I warned the user of it because it seems like he does not understand that and believes Apple is his friend.” However, neither potato4K nor anyone else in this thread has stated they think Apple are their friend or anything even remotely to that end. It is your interpretation, or distortion even, of what others are saying.

      If you have opinions on Apple, if in your view they “stagnate innovation,” putting aside it being a vast over simplification of how a corporation as large and complex as Apple operate at the kind of scale required, it is your opinion and you are of course welcome to it.

      However, it is an opinion only. My issue is that you comment on virtually every Apple-related article this site publishes, passing off your opinions as absolute facts, and then accusing others of what you yourself do.

        non my of game support 120hz only 60hz

          potato4k, 03 Jan 2025LOL. Yeah you’re so smart with your facts. Sure. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄 ibdo not think that there it is neccesery to be overly smart to see and understand facts. But if you say so... i won't contradict you.

            DaFink, 02 Jan 2025‘just don't love it to the point of blindness.’ Thi... moreAh, you again, the one that always distorts what others say, and then accuses them of doing it. One is to find value in something, and something else is to love a company so much, and think highly of it to the point of blindness. In my discution with the potato4k i was talking about the fact that apple willingly stagnates innovation. And he blindly dissagrees, he's opinion being fact-less and quite funny. I mean, to think that a company that pushes millions of devices each year on the market has problems with logistics and supply chain when it comes to innovation (only) and well, that is why apple is always 5 years behind the competition, is at least laughable... i mean, the obvious fact that apple does it intentionlaly should not be blindly dismiss. But hey, there you came to teach us all about what i am talking about.
            And again, missleading affirmations, i never claimed that there are tech companies that are "your friend", i warned the user of it, because it seams like he does not understand that, and believes apple is his friend.
            And even tough i never said it, there you go, some tech companies that are not only friendly but hold ethics and have high principles. All of them beeing like 1. Trillion times better then apple: shift (shiftphone), fairphone; and even Framework. Yet, there are definetly more of which i do not know about😉.
            And for hating on apple...i do not hate a company, i hate their doings, and i will always be vocal when it comes to apple being crapple again. So apparently i will alwqys be vocal because apple will never stop being crapple.

              And starting price of the base iPhone 17 is $899 😅 but i hope still the same as it's predecessor. What do y'all guys think about of what will be the iphone 17 pricing 🤔

                Carol-, 02 Jan 2025Well, is not only my opinion, is a fact. You just need to t... moreLOL. Yeah you’re so smart with your facts. Sure. 🤷🏻‍♂️

                  potato4k, 02 Jan 2025Well, there’s a reason Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple and you... moreWell, is not only my opinion, is a fact. You just need to take the apple vail off your face, and you'll see it too.
                  CEO is a very hard job to do, and most of them CEO's are cold as stones. i'll definetly won't be able to be one (no matter where) even if i had the chance, because i care to much about the right thing to do, and in the business, especially in apple, there is no room for people with ethics nor for people with clear principles,

                    Carol-, 02 Jan 2025Right...🙄. This is the most uninspired excuse i have ever r... more‘just don't love it to the point of blindness.’

                    This is the issue with you, people will find value in what works for them, be that an Apple product or not. In your world view though such people are blind. Why is that, because you know so much better than them?

                    Continue to hate on Apple all you like, but get over yourself. People have their own reasons for making the choices they do, you don’t have to agree with those choices, but labelling them blind simply because you don’t like that choice says more about to you.

                    Oh and when you do find a tech company that is your ‘friend’, let us know 🤦‍♂️

Every s... moreFunny how you claim Apple is finally embracing 2018 when Android as a whole has scored lower on benchmark tests and sold more units alone every single year. Android FINALLY caught up once and edged out on the benchmark, but that doesn't even matter. Apple has been able to do what all these so called "great" phones can do with much less. That being said, it shows what manufacturer is constantly leading the market. That alone speaks volumes.

                              Embracing 2018 tech now! Great innovation by Apple! Every single low end mobiles are 120 Hz for the past many years!

This is the most uninspired excuse i have ever read for tech beeing stale for years, i mean yeah, apple is really the "best" "ethical" company, there are always this other companies to blame for them apples not adopting new tech. I guess that at apple, everybody else is fault? Then they slap 200€, apple math.
                                Letting jokes asside, i am very confident that Samsung has nothing to do with the fact that apple sales outdated hardware for permium prices. And do not think that i am in the "newest and latest is best" wagon, cause i am not and i see a lot of it beeing more of a gimmik then anything else, but well for the majority here there are facts, and those facts are simole, apple stales innovation so they can profit from it as much as humanly possible, they definetly not your friend, but well, if you love a company that lies to it's users and the world since...ever...then by any means you are allowed to do so, just don't love it to the point of blindness.

                                    Carol-, 01 Jan 2025Well, you can't deny the fact that they do anything to... moreApple doesn’t prevent innovation, because they are not the one innovating. Eg the display panel. It’s Samsung that innovated it. Apple simply bought it from Samsung. But, in order for Samsung to fill Apple orders, they have to make a lot of those panels because Apple makes a lot more iPhones than Samsung makes their flagships. So Apple cannot use the “innovation” right away because Samsung simply couldn’t make that many panels right away. That’s why Apple seems to always be late introducing a new hardware feature. Apple has to wait for the component maker to be able to produce in volume to use it on iPhones.

                                        potato4k, 31 Dec 2024If Apple “gatekeeps” the feature, then why would they put i... moreWell, you can't deny the fact that they do anything to stale the innovation, and when they finaly jump the wagon, they name it something like bionic retina, mambo jumbo to make it seem new and innovative, but is just a name and has nothing to do with the actuall thing. Then they talk about it as if would be the first device to have it. Like retina display thats nothing but an ips display like any other. Then they slap 200€ more, apple math. I'm actually stunned that apple fans are not tired of apple greed and ethics. I find them to border with the word "disgusting".
