I just don't get why people buy apple products. They suck. Just ranting here.

I've had both a Samsung and an iPhone. They are all the same.

Could be a carrier issue. I tried Samsung once because of all the feedback.

They do not sabotage things so you have to buy new. I also wouldn't compare two adults to a group of kids...

They absolutely do and are paying 500 million for it.

YSMACK

Nov 21, 8:30am

The issue was communication of that change, not that the change was meant to make people upgrade.

You're getting straight up gas lit. Apple should just do what Samsung does

YSMACK

Nov 21, 8:47am

So Apple should make phones blow up?

You're acting like only IPhones have problems. Not true. All phones have them.

Apple designs a lot of their problems to occur.

Agree to disagree. There was no official ruling, only a settling to end the complaint.

You nailed it, Apple is the champion of planned obsolescence.

Yep, but they can always pretend its a feature!

Seems like Mister P problem, not an Apple problem. My son has an Android and we never have problems with texting.
