This is an Apple induced hysteria to create buzz and want for a product.

People who buy other phones don't wait in line like this :2 cents:

You are not alone. People used to wait in line like this for Cabbage Patch Dolls too. It's a marketing thing.

Whats wrong? They are brainwashed sheep. Even if I thought that iphone is best phone (which is definitely not) I would be reluctant to buy it knowing that I will be associated with the sheep.

I have no problem with people buying the phones, do what they want, what I simply do not understand is lining up for it?

Why?

Just go to the shop next week and walk straight in the door instead of camping out for days for the thing.

Does SAMSUNG (or any Android phone/tablet for that matter) give their clients FREE training how to get the most from their products, and FREE "Genius Bar" tech support for every last one of their products?? It does not matter if you own an original iPod, or the newest Retina display Macbook Pro, the Genius Bar - located in every Apple Store - will give you FREE tech support whether your product is in warranty or not!

Hmmmm ...

Apple is a lifestyle choice .... not just a phone, or a tablet, or a laptop, or an MP3 player ...

People who do not own Apple products would not know this though ...

Apparently we need to add an 'elitist' modifier to 'sheep'.

My Motorola Milestone android didn't require "free training" or "tech support" (read: babysitting). Against all odds...I figured it all out all by my lonesome.

It took me 15-20 mins.

FUCK APPLE..... LOL Apple heads are retards. Mac/Apple is lame lifestyle yuppie fuck nuts

Android does not require a class to use it.

LOL lifestyle choice, thats a good one. I used to own an iphone. I asked the guy why every time I was at the gym my phone restarted my playlist on a different song at random and the guy asked "where did you get he songs" and told me the files were corrupt because i was using a PC and if I downloaded them from a mac it would have worked.

Then later that night Jimmy3way (huge fanboy who's a webmaster) told me it's the shake feature on the phone and how to turn it off. And to top it off you can't even do anything in the store without going online and setting up an appointment.

So .... If I have this right ... you blame the company because you did not read your owner manual and did not know how to enable/disable a feature?

WOW .... ok.

My point is that when you buy an apple product, you get free support for the lifetime of that product, regardless warranty or if you bought it new, used, or other ...

There is no other phone/tablet/computer company that offers this level of support. If you are technically savvy to some degree, and can figure out how to use your phone/tablet/computer on your own, good for you, but for the people like my 66 year old mother-in-law who are buying a tablet computer for the first time, and have no clue what it really can do, Apple offers FREE one-on-one training in-store to make sure you are able to get the most from your device.

Nobody is forcing anyboy to buy/use Apple .... but why is it so cool for non-Apple users to bash the people who choose to buy Apple products? I have never understood this phenomenon for the life of me!!!!

If you don't like Apple, or think it is 3 times over-priced considering your Acer will do everything an Apple device will ..... then GOOD FOR YOU ..... but your Acer device, and be happy .... bashing and belittling Apple users serves no purpose.

I drive a Nissan Altima SE-R ..... I do not drive around town laughing at, belittling, and bashing Mercedes owners. What would be the point? :Oh crap

:1orglaugh

So your huge sales pitch for the iphone is support?

Scathing!!!

Fuck Apple and their queues, another hilarious ad.

I'm off to get my Samsung SIII later today *titter* :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

If the iPhone is that good then why is Steve dead? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

This one is funny :upsidedow

No you dont, Ive owned a mac, ipads and iphones. Unless you buy apple care (an additional fucking) phone support becomes paid after 90 days.

This is exactly what i really don't understand. These people are complete and utter morons in my book. Braindead idiotic retards who need to get their priorities straight. They are the wet dream of corporations, the epitome of a consumer. Dumb puppets.

I heard that to honor Steve Jobs the next BIG IPhone update is going to replace the Siri voice with that of Steve Jobs :helpme

I'd happily see a terrorist attack happen right there, right now... :2 cents:

I have an iPhone 4 and probably getting the 5 but that commercial is hilarious. I want the S3 but it's just too big for me and I know I'd regret it if I got it. New iPhone is a nice size, coulda been a tiny bit bigger tho but hey it's big enough.

As I said MAC/Apple people are so dumb its not even funny.

They would buy a brick dropped in dog shit if it had an Apple logo on it.

Nice! :1orglaugh

That looks like the mall in downtown Seattle... which is surprises me but on closer inspection I see that it is all hipsters. So I realize now it was probably a trick like those police roundups where they call a bunch of people with outstanding warrants to come downtown because they just won a big prize. When everyone shows up then Microsoft reps all try to pawn off the overstock of Windows phones.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh this must be a troll post

Fuck those two gonads

Yes, you are so smart, random internet turd.

Way to make wide sweeping generalizations, fucktard.

Apple isn't the world's largest company because blind lemmings. It's the world's largest company because it's products are made to last and it's support is #1. Customer satisfaction surveys constantly place Apple at #1.

I'll pay $2,500 bucks for a Macbook Pro anyday over a cheap, shitty, plastic wanna be HP. BECAUSE I CAN AFFORD IT. The money that I pay for one is inconsequential to my bottom line. It's the same reason I drive a Mercedes and not a fucking Corolla.

Take your head out of your ass and realize it's different strokes for different folks. :2 cents:

Not everyone likes to tinker with a computer, run Linux flavors with little to no support, and hangs around the internet beating their meat all day :2 cents:

So yes, support is a huge fucking selling point.

Doesn't matter how rich you are, or pretend to be on internet forums, spending more than you need to on the same hardware made by the same people, because you like the fruity badge, is silly.

The Mercedes and Corolla are not made of the same parts, in the same Chinese sweatshop.

I pointed to quality of build and support in my original statement. I didn't say anything about the badge.

And I could give :2 cents: or two shits about whether you believe me or not. I will not lose sleep over it....random internet guy.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

And as I said, it's the same shit, made by the same people, in the same Asian factories, meaning you are paying for a logo. Let me know if you need to have that explained for a third time.

lol @ quality of build. Why don't you drop an iphone and a samsung 5 times, see which one is shattered. Gotta love brainwashed sheep.

I bought a GS3, I think my old 4S was better in a lot of aspects. Love the screen and hundreds of features, (most of which I don't use) on my GS3 though. :)

ha ha, love the brainwashed sheep on both sides. Any programmers in the house? Java = Android, insanely inefficient, laggy, resource hog. Visual C# = iPhone, very efficient, snappy and way more powerful.

Anyone wonder why the first 2G iPhones did everything snappy 6 years ago with a POS processor and 128mb of RAM? 6 years later my GS3 with a fucking QUAD CORE processor and 2GB ram stalls for a couple seconds when transitioning?

My GS3 is a very nice phone, but it's more than just a badge kids. The iPhone is a way more refined phone in-terms of the OS and 3rd party apps written specifically for it. You can scream about features until you're blue in the face but no Android phone is close in those aspects.

Battery life.
Fluidity.
Responsiveness.
3rd Party Application Performance.

Java runtime will never get there, put a processor with 8 cores and even shittier battery life and maybe it can get closer. :winkwink:

Only if I could run iOS on my Samsung, drooool.
