Well, I’m an iPhone user and have been since the 4 model. But I don’t understand the vehement denials of the iPhone’s shortcomings. Every manufacturer makes compromises in their products in order to maintain cost controls. Apple is no exception, and neither is Samsung or any other
premium phone maker. People act like Apple’s shit doesn’t ever stink, when it obviously smells just as bad or worse than others. It’s like a religion
to them.

What shortcomings have been denied in this conversation?

What we've denied is the obvious bullshit that Apple's devices are
failures because Apple chose to downrate their scores to a "B" on a 7
letter scale.

We deny the batteries that run iPhones for as long or longer than
competing smartphones are "cheap" or "crappy".

Etc.

You've been around long enough on a variety of newsgroups to know that the Apple newsgroups are NOT the same as any other newsgroup is.

If, for example, Google or Samsung do something that nobody likes, then
nobody on the Android newsgroup spins excuses for why they did it since
nobody likes Google and nobody really cares to defend Samsung to the death.

Likewise with Windows, where there's no love lost on Microsoft.
It's only on the Apple newsgroups that this dynamic occurs.

Why?
I think I know why.

You're an adult but the religious zealots outnumber you dozens to one.
These uneducated religious zealots are NOT normal people.

They're ignorant to the core, but worse, they're unable to learn.
Combine their stupidity with their religious zealotry & that's what you
get.

Every Apple troll is a MAGA zealot.
Every Apple troll is imbued with the mantra: Make Apple Great Again

Like any MAGA zealot, the level they go to defend Apple to the death,
no matter what, is so absurd you have to wonder what their IQ is.

I don't put Alan's IQ at any better than about 40.
Chris is higher, but still below normal.
Jolly Roger is nearer to Alan than to Chris.
etc.

You can tell they're stupid by the way they deny what nobody would.
And in doing so, they think that's a perfectly sound rebuttal.

Who is that stupid?
Answer: Apple troll are.
