I think we both, David, you and me, have been on Usenet for decades, and we're both well trained in technical topics where we prove our facts. I have watched for about two decades or so, the Apple-versus-adults arguments, where it always amazed me that the Apple users unilaterally are the ones acting like children act. I pondered for years why this would be so repeatable. I don't claim to have the answer - but I do have a hypothesis. The Apple user is *drawn* to the Apple product, which Apple Marketing *differentiates* by selling the Apple user on a few promises. 1. Ease of use 2. Safety 3. Security 4. Functionality 5. Style Are those the top features that Apple Marketing "sells" to its user base? For the moment, in this post, I assume you agree (although you're welcome to explain what you think draws people to Apple products). Let's just take one of those selling points, which is "functionality", and then let's state a well-known fact: 1. There is zero app functionality on iOS that isn't on Android 2. There is tons of app functionality on Android that isn't on iOS. That's a fact. That's not a hypothesis. That's a fact. For example, my Android devices load any app launcher I want so I can organize my phone any way I want, and I have automatic phone recorders, bit torrent apps, graphical recording of wifi signal strength for all access points, accurate reporting of unique cell tower IDs, ability to put app icons whereever I want them, etc. On the other hand, in years, nobody can find a *single* iOS app functionality that isn't already on Android. Not a single one. (Sure they make claims about imaginary functionality, but they forget I also have plenty of iOS devices where their claims always fall flat when tested.) Here's just one example of their claims of imaginary iOS functionality: Â*Android Fact: Â*http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/11/2wifianalyzer.jpg Â*Apple Fact: Â*http://wetakepic.com/images/2017/10/11/wifi_sweetspots.jpg So why do the iOS users incessantly claim imaginary Apple functionality? I don't know why. But I hypothesize that they bought into the Marketing claims, and they never once doublechecked any facts, so, when facts are brought up to them, they react with immediate hatred and denials of what is, after all, just a fact. What do you think about that hypothesis, bearing in mind that it's based only on the Usenet experience, and not the many Apple web forums (where, in some, I myself, have written tutorials, e.g., when I first jailbroke an iOS 4 way back when AT&T was the only official carrier). Hello Ragnusen You have far greater Usenet experience than I do - I'd never even heard of it until I became involved with the Microsoft groups back in 2006. Most of them are listed he- http://aumha.org/nntp.htm My son once recomended that I buy an iMac after spending some time in the Apple store in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 2007/8. He loved the design and bought one in the USA - I explored in an Apple shop here in the UK and was similarly entranced. I've just recently bought a new 27 inch iMac to replace my original 24 inch machine and am truly enthralled with it's speed and fantastic picture quality. If you've not yet physically tried one, I suggest that you do so. :-) -- David B. |
