I'm going to disagree with basically everything you just said. It reads like someone who simply doesn't like Apple. Brand standing if you will.
You need to sharpen your reading comprehension skills, I don't have any problem with Apple and their products are fine. The 1st and 2nd get iPhones were less functional than the devices they purported to supplant by a wide margin, and the 3GS was the first actually good device they made. That's all right there in the text, you just have to look with your eyeballs and put the words through the critical thinking part of your brain instead of the emotional reaction part. Even in 2007 it was laughable that you couldn't connect to WiFi with a purported smart device. Its feature base sucked ass till the 3GS, and now they're fine; the only reason I don't use an iPhone is because I prefer auditable FOSS, hence I use an Android device with an AOSP-based ROM and no Gplay Services. If it wasn't for that, the iPhone would be a fine alternative.

No need for insulting others.
It wasn't an insult, I was being exceptionally indulgent by telling you where you went wrong in horrifically missing my point instead of issuing well-deserved insults: you weren't paying attention to what I was actually saying. I'm not surprised you stopped reading there though, people like you always plug their ears when they think they're at risk of being proven wrong. You have a bright future in the senior leadership of the GOP if you ever want to take it.
You're continuing to insult and be condescending. I was definitely correct.
