Apple has made a number of significant marketing stumbles, such as no way on God's green earth to replace the battery in the original iPod, yet everyone immediately forgives them for their errors and omissions. Why?
The first generation iPad had no means to connect any external devices other than via wireless connections. How many home users had wireless capable printers prior to purchasing their iPad?
My oldest son and his wife have iPods, iPhones, a Mac laptop, a wireless hard drive by Apple, etc. Every one of these Apple brand devices has been sent in for repair at least once! Yet, they continue to love the brand as do so many other users. Is Apple ownership a cult?
My youngest son has done extensive computer programming adopting new software applications to run on multiple platforms and Operating Systems seamlessly. He feels the Apple OS is much more difficult to work with, has snobbish egotistical factory software support, and the Apple MMI is horrendous. It runs great IF you only want to do what was originally programmed into the machine, but heaven help you if you need to get into the code and tweak anything.
These are only my observations and information gleaned from family complaints, statements, and rants. I have never owned or used any Apple product. Nothing against Apple, but I do just fine without them.
