I was halfway reading through this post when I realize... Wait, this is Macrumors.com. First thing that comes to mind: OH THE IRONY!
As someone who hates sheep people, it's is actually funny to see a sheep criticizing sheep. I mean, isn't Apple all about that? They profit from mindless people who buy things because they're trendy, because 'my friends got one but I don't' and/or people who are so obssesed they buy only Apple products.
In fact let me rewrite your own paragraph:
Nothing screams originality like having an iPhone in your pocket. Having an iPhone shows that you can't make your own reasoned decisions and you just buy stuff because it's trendy. It's like tattooing 'I have more money than sense' onto your forehead.
Hmmm.. But Apple is probably the most evil company in the world
Apple profits from manufacturing really cheap and selling really expensive, what you're paying for is the Apple logo behind it, really.
They force carriers to buy them iPhones the full price but sell them to you half the price. Which makes carriers raise their rates for data and calling plans, which ends up screwing you. So yup, don't blame your carrier, blame your beloved Apple.
So did apple, 'nough said (read more here)
Oh seriously!? but Apple has the reputation for being one of the biggest bullies in the tech industry.
They tried to sue a family-run café over its logo
And a small grocery store
Don't forget that they sue other tech companies over ridiculous things.

Luckily I haven't been in need of Apple's customer service as I have never owned an Apple device, but from what I have heard it isn't that good.
HAH, There are phones/computers that have better performance , are cheaper AND cooler. No need to explain this.
I actually thought the same kind of people that buy Beats buy Apple, and then I find this post.
Really if these are your reasons for not buying Beats, then why do you buy anything Apple to begin with?
Don't get me wrong, I don't support Beats at all and agree with your post but.. C'mon.
I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate as I will piss off many people here, probably get banned. But I'm hoping I can push some reason in some of you.
Wow, you TOTALLY said EVERYTHING I wanted to say forcing me to delete my post and rewrite it! Great reply.
Of course, you're going to get a lot of negative feedback for saying something uncomplimentary about apple no matter how true it is.
. I on the other hand, actually LIKE almost everything apple (just not the iPhone because they have fallen behind to android and STILL haven't caught up) but I'm unbiased enough to admit everything you said is true except apple's customer service is EXCELLENT!
Lol true.1) Lady Gaga isn't a "Lady"
2) You clearly know nothing about him
3) You clearly know nothing about music
4) Well yes, that's true
Dr. Dre is a musical LEGEND and has made some of the finest music ever.
