| What do you think about Apple? Personally I like Apple I think they make great products. But when I ask my friends what they would do if they got an iMac they're all like : "I would burn it and send Apple the video!" And I always see alot of memes about how Apple suck. So do you like Apple or not? Also post your opinions on their products. |

| Destroy everything Apple. Apart from iPod classics/nanos, those are sweet. Not feeling the price though, that sucks.
iPod touches, iPhones, iMacs, Macbooks, they're all overpriced piles of shit, nothing could ever justify those prices, especially considering how the products are made. |

| Nice for people who don't want to fiddle with the interface but i would always go with android for phones at least, not sure about computers though havent tried one properly. And ofcourse it is all overpriced. |

| macs have huge strongpoints, but being a geeky programmer I've always wanted a PC, windows is soo much nicer to code on and with things like adobe premiere being PC friendly now, I can do all I want with it. plus games suck on mac compared to pcs and I need mmos to live XD
also, having two android flagship devices (nexus 4 and 7) I cant imagine ever going to iOS - but hardware wise the iphone and ipods are fantastic products.
I'm not up for a war, but would never afford and would never want to afford apple products over windows and android. |

| People always say they'd do stuff like burn it etc cause there jealous of the people that have them and cant afford one, a bit like me, I cant afford one but I'd love a mac, soon... soon. I like apple but you do pay a premium to have the apple logo, apple are like a designer technology company. |

| Pretty funny no one really considers their contributions within in every product they've introduced..
But in all honesty, Apple products are the best designed products of their categories, at the very least in terms of hardware. With recent management changes, I hope the next operating systems will bring at least their mobile platform to be as powerful as their Android counterpart has become. It sounds like it'll be there in the next major release.
Macs in particular need to be used in the space I'm working in, so I have no choice but to be on board. |

| Jack, if I had the money for a Mac I still wouldn't buy one, aha, the OS is horrible and the company in general is just a disgrace, using sweatshops with a wage of £1.10 per hour or something, yet still selling an iPhone for £530? |

| Once you're used to the OS on Mac, it's a wonder how clunky Windows is. Linux trumps Windows by a country mile! Also, how do you think Samsung or any other Android phone is made? It's all the same cheap labour! |

| ^Despite the Samsung S3 being £100 cheaper than the iPhone 5, whilst having better specs! Even with sweatshops they still put out a cheaper, better product. But i still disagree with the Mac OS, I've used it a lot over the past 4 years in Graphics/Product Design, I can use it just as well as Windows, it's just horrible |

| It was proved that the iPhone outperformed the S3 on every single performance test despite the S3 having much "better" specs, it's all about the relation between hardware and software
In that case I don't think you're getting the full potential out of the operating system |

| Well my friends are PC fanboys (hehe) Cause one day I asked my friend why he hates Mac? He answered : "You can't play games on it" And I said well their not meant for games and he said "Yea that's why I hate them" but then that must mean that you hate all computers you can't play games on... |

| I don't really like to get into a debate about Apple...
I use Windows with Linux as a backup because I want to play games and the kind of software I use is on Windows. It just gets annoying if you try to emulate Windows and I don't really need to spend money to use an Apple.
As for smartphones/tablets, one topic not discussed is the ongoing legal battles with Samsung and other companies. I currently use a 5 year old non-smartphone but would probably switch to some Android device once it breaks.
For portable music players, I love the classic click wheel iPods and I'm currently trying to find an iPod Nano 5th Gen.
As for the music store, I believe the royalties an actual artist gets for downloads of their stuff is quite a low fraction. What I did like was its push for the podcast format, both video and audio. There have been some awesome ones in the past.
Safari? I think I've only rarely used this when I needed to use a Mac or a few years ago on my old PC as a backup/testing browser after Firefox (default), Chrome, Opera and IE. |

| PC are good gaming machines. Mac are good working stations. I really enjoy more the macOS rather than the windows one. After windows WP, they only copy macOS, with bugs... I always had differents issues with PC, in more than 10 years of using differents Mac (G4, 2 macpro and macbook pro) I never had a probleme. When I'll change computer (soon i hope, my MBP have more than 5 years without anything except on the windows partition when I had one.) I may go for a PC, but if I found a Imac 27' at a good price... |

| People just like to hate on stuff. Apple computers are more user friendly and geared towards those who don't game, and want a computer for general personal use. You'll get more out of a PC performance wise (if you buy the right parts), but they're also more prone to viruses if you don't know what you're doing. There are a lot of pros and cons... just make sure you don't go to someone who hates on one company for advice. |

| My general opinion is that its cool stuff, but overpriced. Especially with macs / macbooks. For phone performance, the best android phones are on par with, if not better than iphones, but iphone tends to get better apps, or apps are released first on iphones. but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn_suicidesthat kinda applies to all electronics stuff |
