You hope the phones and tablets that other people purchased end up being banned? You mentioned that it is propoganda that Apple wants less choice. Let me see. Apple wants to ban ALL the competition...that seems to equate to LESS CHOICE for the consumer to me. I guess that is what you want...people only have a choice of buying an iPhone or...wait for it....NOTHING else.
They want to pay for the phone as much as for IPhone when it was released.
One company simply copying another is not"compition".
When I type on my iPad or iMac it auto-corrects spelling errors. It also underlines misspelled words which I can right click on to get suggestions. Android apparently doesn't have a working spell checker. Neither does Window because whenever a Fandroid or Windows cultist post their drivel the misspellings are rampant. Why is that?
The tennis court everyone wants to win on is the US market. That's the market in which brand power and mindshare are made. This is the market in which your product (under current market dynamics) either achieves "star power" or it doesn't.
This, in turn, influences consumers in other markets.
The ruling that *really* matters already happened. In the US.
Further, Apple has so much brand power at this point, that any official ban on products will simply drive up demand (and create a huge black market), or cause a lot of protest.
Any way you slice it, the cards are stacked massively in Apple's favour, due to their usual legal savvy, but particularly due to astronomical consumer enthusiasm and demand, which, in turn, is due purely to the strength of Apple's line of products. It all comes down to the product. Not to universal licensing. Not to market flooding. But the fact that Apple gear is insanely great.

Because they're not particularly bright?
Just look at them on here, and on MacRumors especially. The worst is Neowin, though.
I think its because this article was posted one other sites or something. But ya the senseless crying from the fandroids is exceptional today, its like being in a nursery ward at a hospital.
if you was british or korean you wouldnt be saying/thinking this way ,trust me .
And if my mother had wheels I'd be a wagon.
It doesn't any effect on basic market realities. The earth is flat, whether you're from the UK or the US.
The US market is the crown jewel of the tech industry, particularly in terms of brand power. It's just the way it is. American pop culture plays very big overseas.
Tallest. The difference between our attitudes is that I'm doing a favor to Apple, Infiniti and Publix by buying their products and you're buying relics that I treat like nothing but a gadget and replacing them back and forth. Simple.

Plenty of British and Korean people on here that haven't completely lost it, though. They have the common sense that you seem to lack.

I happen to be a big fan of british humor, I think your countrymen might take issue with you speaking for them.

I'm sure you all already know where a so called genius Jony Ivy inspiration comes from, but for me this was a complete game changer back in 2007.

And I can't wait for Santa to come down my chimney this Christmas, and for the Easter Bunny to bring me chocolate eggs.

"Relics":

This one's interesting:
http://www.loopinsight.com/2012/01/09/iphone-satisfaction-at-75-closest-competitor-at-47/
Apple has consistenly topped rankings of this kind since the first or second year into the iPhone's release.
EDIT: Correction, *first* year.
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/orchant/iphone-satisfaction-numbers-are-unreal/523
http://seekingalpha.com/article/44709-early-iphone-adopters-extremely-satisfied
No wonder Apple commands over 30% of the US market, with at most 2-3 phones, *all under the same roof.* NO OEMs, NO UNIVERSAL-LICENSING.
I won't even mention satisfaction rates for iPads, iPods and Macs. It's all the same story across the board. For years now.

I would *love* a top-condition first-gen iPhone. It'll be worth plenty later on.
