AGREED 100%. They forget the people who are MAKING the apps for all of these nice mobile devices they are selling hundreds of millions of. What happened to Apple being for those who want to create things.

"translation: I was too stubborn to buy a case / bumper to prevent this and suffered and bitched for a year instead" Or, the product is faulty as he rightfully stated. The fact that a fault like this can be remedied by purchasing another product, which you shouldn't have to, is besides the point. It's a cellphone, if there's anything it should do properly, it's make calls.
You didn't have to buy anything. They offered the cases for free. If you don't like the workaround return the product.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

possibly using some rogue app that's killing the battery life AKA, "...has Facebook installed."
"the plethora of stagnant apps you force onto my device" While I agree, any stock Android phone from a carrier has quite a few itself.
Didn't Apple just announce that they'll be allowing users to delete pre-installed apps come iOS 10?

It might be just me, but a phone that doesn't work as a phone should mean refunds. It's a design problem (industrial design) and the case is a temporary workaround at best. Are we going to start blaming the clients for the mistakes of a company?
>> apple TV[...] > Obviously defective unit. too dumb to replace it.
Funny, I have the same issue now, a few years after I got it (as a company gift, I wouldn't have bought it), I wonder how many apple TVs that are 4-5 year old are still working. But again you are blaming the client for mistakes that are solely in the hands of apple.
I agree with you on the other points and personally, the only apple thing I have (apart from the apple TV, as I said, not my idea) is a rMBP that is 4 years old and still works flawlessly. I stand with you on things that are his/her opinion. But faults in manufacturing being passed as client's stupidity?
The one thing that does worry me is that he will buy the new galaxy 7 and the write an essay about how atrocious the Galaxy s3 was and write off Samsung forever.
Everyone can have their opinion but this sorta stuff is troll fodder. I don't care what you use or don't use and just because you have a platform doesn't make your opinion any more valuable than mine or other posters here. Had this been a clear, well thought out statement that didn't complain about 5 year old products I might be able to give it some credence. I would love to hear from anyone who read this article and it changed their life. I suspect this will quickly devolve into apple haters vs Apple fans. Tired. Apple isn't forcing you to spend money on their gear.
