Is Apple The Enemy?



I know, I know Apple may not be the enemy.  I do actually like some of their products.  I don't buy into the 'Apple is better than PC because it can't get viruses and is just better...' line of thinking.  I do own an iPhone 4.  I really enjoy it.

But I also agree with most of the things in this article.  I, fortunately, am not an early adopter and if what I am using is working just fine for me, then I will continue to use it.  I will say this though, before my girlfriend upgraded to the iPhone 4S she had a iPhone 3G.  When the 4 came out she updated her phone and then it became next to impossible to use.  The new update was way too much for the phone to handle with the hardware it came with.

I think Apple intentionally sent the update out to older phones knowing it would be impossible to rollback to an earlier version without jailbreaking the phone.  Thus they rendered her phone inoperable due to just being so damn slow.  Apple's plan, I believe, was to get her to get a new phone.  They succeeded.  With her tax refund she got a new phone because the 3G was just too slow.

People of this generation are having trouble remembering when it took 15 minutes to download a song.  Hell even 28.8k modems weren't but 15-20 years ago.  My dad remembers thinking a 300 baud modem was lightning.  That was in the 80's.  Tech moves fast but Apple seems ok with you just buying a new phone every year.  Changing their ports so you have to buy all new equipment and accessories and just proprietary everything in general.

If you take care of your PC or your MAC and have sense on the internet, the computer WILL treat you right.  I don't get viruses.  I don't get hacked.  I also run a PC and have an Apple phone.

  1. I understand the allure of Apple. I actually dig some of their products. I think their PC's are extremely over priced for what you get.

    I just don't like "Apple Guys" those people that think they are superior just because they use a Mac.
