Looks like he make the mistake of thinking that online forums are actually for debate, rather than endless reinforcement of the same dogma. Easy mistake to make.
If AI doesn't want broad spectrum responses, they should end the whole Android/Google love affair.
You’re right. And there’s really no broader spectrum a response than “the iPhone leaves me frustrated” with no context or explanation whatsoever! If you’d put some thought of any sort into the description of your complaint, rather than literally using the cookie cutter sentence construction trolls favor, I wouldn’t have been so short.

TS, The lack of maturity in many of your posts leads me to wonder if you've made it through puberty yet...?
Lurk more...post less, and gain some respect for advancing the thread.
This is probably a case of socioeconomic factors. Apple products appeal to the affluent, while Android devices appeal to the masses. Those with money drink wine, fly airplanes and are more likely to buy Apple products. Those on a budget drink beer, take public transportation, and are more likely to buy cheaper technology.

Thanks for showing that you have absolutely no argument whatsoever, at least. I fail to see how you can back up his statements as valid.
There are outliers. I like Apple products in general, though not an iPhone fan and dislike many of their users, especially the evangelists (hat tip to Apple ][ ). I've owned a couple of iPhones, but all said and done they leave me frustrated. So I will stick with my Android until iOS becomes more flexible (never).
The really one-sided evangelists turn me off as well.
But this is true not just for Apple products - it's true for almost anything. Ever had a conversation with a really really passionate music fan, or a passionate fan of one particular video game brand? (Name any brand, the die-hard fans are all the same).
Ultimately - as lame and obvious as it sounds - it is, of course, all about what you are comfortable with.
I often find that I have Android fans passionately telling me not only that I'm wrong, but that I ought to prefer the same things that they prefer. In other words, if they mention a feature that I don't really care about, they then proceed to tell me all the reasons why I should care about it (and in doing so, I think they miss the very reasons I've already stated for not caring about the particular feature).
I tend to adopt technology pretty quickly and many of my devices don't have a long shelf life, because I like to have the latest stuff.
I also tend to skip every second iPhone release (so I went from iPhone 4 to 5 for example and skipped 4s and 5s).
My next purchase is likely to be iPhone 6.
However...depending on what Apple unveil, I may look at other devices (most likely Nokia). But this doesn't mean I'll abandon my lovely new iMac or my Apple TV - again, I think sensible people mix and match according to what they need.

If that were the case, then I wouldn't be an early adopter myself. If you can't see the difference between passion and rampantly painful fanboyism, then I don't know what else to say.
A friend of mine posed a question on Facebook: If money wasn't a concern, what Android would you buy? The first answer was "If money wasn't a concern, I'd buy an iPhone." To this day, I think it's an entirely accurate portrayal of people who buy Apple products vs. those who buy Android.

Okay. Shut up and go away, then. Why do we care?

Only if you drink beer while flying on airplanes.
Only on subsidy, which European carriers are less likely to offer, and which even American carriers are rethinking.

You have a prejudice against passion. Shame.

How on Earth do you come to that conclusion?
I never even implied that I dislike passion.
If that were the case, then I wouldn't be an early adopter myself. If you can't see the difference between passion and rampantly painful fanboyism, then I don't know what else to say.
Apple ][, would you date an Android user?
Circa 2002.
Surely if you prefer drinks Bulk wine
