Every time I see a self-confessed Apple fanatic I am staggered by their fierce and proactive loyalty to what is just a company that makes computer products with the intention of making as much money out of people as possible (40% profit margin). There are no such people defending supermarket chains, car makers or clothing brands.
You cannot expect to post a thread which is essentially a detailed Apple advert containing Apple's own image material and not get any flak for it - the only thing missing was a link to their online store. And when someone's opinion of Apple doesn't align with yours, please don't take it so personally. Apple's mark-up, business practices and enclosed ecosystem will always attract justifiable criticism and you just have to accept this. Even door-to-door religious peddlers don't throw a tantrum when people slam their doors in their faces.
I just felt I needed to say that. I used to have a friend who constantly went on Apple advertisement crusades so this response is many years in the making.
