Oooooh boy. APL hater right here. C'mon man. Let me see Sales Records for any other company in the world that can compare to APL selling iPhones. The only other company that comes close are the gas giants.

10-15 million people are dumb hacks. Brainwashed by Apple. Hehehehehe. Personally, I like the iPhone aesthetically.
Definitely not an apple hater, I had an iPhone 4 for a year and a 4s for 7 months and I will readily accept that they were both excellent phones. I've also got an ipad which I love.
However, I've grown tired of ios and its closed nature, and frustrated that apple aren't giving consumers enough choice. It's either apple's way, or the highway. You want a bigger screen? Sorry, no can do. How about memory card slot? No, but you can spend an extra £200 on the 64gb version.
People will carry on buying iphones because they are decent phones but not only that, apple keep customers locked into the ecosystem. I've now got a galaxy s3 but it wasn't an easy move. It took a lot of work to get everything up and running and it's lucky that I am a little bit tech savvy and prepared to give it time. But buying back some apps, losing stuff I'd bought on iTunes wasn't easy.
I don't hate apple, I just think they should give their customers more control.
