Apple Culture: I don’t have that issue

seeme

If you’ve ever had a none bias conversation with me in regards to Apple, consider yourself lucky. But why the hate? It’s the culture! There has been an interesting shift in the force the last few years. Some where along the line (I know exactly when, but that is a different convo for another day) the bread and butter of Apple stop being die hard Apple fans and started to be my mom.

How could I hate my mom for loving her iPhone?! UGH! So annoying! But, there was hope. With the introduction of the iPhone 4, it seemed like everyone became a fan boy, and for good reason. The rest of the industry was sucking and the iPhone was not. Not to mention, right in the mists of it all, Apple dropped the iPad. They made fan boys out of normal people, wow!

Now that the iPhone 5 is out and about, I am starting to notice a shift once again, fan boys are becoming consumers once again. People are starting to realize Apple isn’t the holy they said they were. Now, my mom doesn’t want the iPhone 5, YES!

Its just me and the real fan boys yet again. But how do you ID these fruit crusaders? You show them an article with the iPhone 5 having Wifi issues, and immediately they say “I don’t have that issue.” You show them an article on the scratches on the iPhone 5 right out of the box, and they say right away “mine was fine.” You show the pictures with purple tint and they respond “I don’t have that issue.”

So what do you do? Well, you chuckle and simply ask, “well if you’re not having that issue, and everyone you know doesn’t have that issue, then who is? And why is the genius bar always a 40 minute wait?”

Ah yes, this my friends, is what is known as “The Apple Culture.”

The troll man has spoken!!! You...you out there with your iPhone 5s (and that is just plural, and not 5S), you guys considered us just Microsoft fanboys, and Apple Bashers. But wait!!!! Now some relevance to what we have been saying all along!!! It's not enough for us to say it...but if Steve Jobs is God, then certainly Tim Cook is Jesus right??? So if he has an apology to make then certainly that would make them human! Hmmm something to think about! I hope everyone will finally take us seriously, but some how I doubt it. The wolf never told the sheep to jump on to the plate no more than the Sheep asked the Wolf, Would you like to eat me now? So in essence this is all about who plays the role of the wolf and who is the sheep. Apple consumers (Fanboys) or how ever you would like to refer to them have 2 choices. Either wise up and not be a sheep, or become a wolf and denounce Apple for the fuck filled liars that they are! We do hope for you're comments, although they are not required simply because we know what you are going to say...."I DON'T HAVE THAT ISSUE!" Very well!
