Apple Removes Competitor Antenna Performance Comparisons From Site

It is ignorant to call the praising of Apple for turning complete industries upside down fanboyism.

There's just so much wrong with your sentence, that I don't know where to start.

First, I like Apple products. I don't love them. I use them exclusively when it comes to computers and phones, just as I use Sony exclusively for televisions and cameras. I'm an exclusive kind of guy; it's my nature.

Now, I don't see how praising an electronic company is in any way, shape or form normal. It's a device, not a life. Somehow you guys entwine these two together.

Sure, they turned industries upside down. But this is a market we're talking about, not a war. I see it fit praising the people who brought Hitler his downfall; I just don't see appraisal fit for a company that's here for the sole purpose of making money and exacerbating our indolence. Sure, it's great new technology that makes our life easier, which I'm fascinated by, but I just can't bend over and give head to Jobs or his fabulous establishment (pardon me LTD, I just can't follow in your footsteps).

You need to learn a little about life. You haven't found yourself, because if you had, you wouldn't be consenting a pathetic salacious obsession a forum user has towards the Almighty entity of Apple.

I hate to say this, but without Apple you would be still using garbage phones...erm...smartphones running one of the worst pieces of software ever written...erm...windows mobile.

The same could be said about mp3 players. And the same is true for tablets.

If you don't believe me, look at how phones looked before January 2007 and how they looked shortly after.

So true. Credit where it's due.

It's an Apple fansite, genius. :rolleyes:

You'd think he should realize he's already made his mark and then some. He made Apple into a bigger company(market cap) then MSFT and left the legacy of the iPod, iPhone, unibody Macs and Apple stores. What else does he need to do? He should just find a way to come to peace with the approaching end.

You'd think, but people that ill aren't "all there" if you know what I mean. Just imagine the medication he's on, some pretty strong stuff I bet.

Beven Google's best effort, the Nexus One, fell flat on its 480 x 800 pixel face.

Isn't that the one with fake 480 x 800 pixels? Two subpixels per pixel instead of three like every single LCD monitor and any iPhone has? Did you know you cannot draw a one pixel wide vertical colored line on that phone? According to Wikipedia, "This gives it a total effective subpixel resolution of a 392x653 RGB display."

So does Ballmer, I bet.

I guess I stand corrected!

It's a rumors site where people discuss rumors and confess their love for Apple, fine...

I guess, it's your bias that's disturbing. You top them all, fanboy-wise. See, it's normal to like a company and what they produce. It's queer to defend and love a company through hyperbole. You exaggerate ALL the time, about anything anti or pro Apple. You're one of those fanboys that possesses pure illogical veneration. How far would you go for a chance to touch Jobs?
 
Maybe if everyone that posts on here for 10 pages, and doesn't have a life.; Gives me a $1 per post. I could get the 12-core mac pro. I'll give you my bank account # for deposit. Thank You. Betta yet, just paypal it! ;)

When all else fails, pull out the "But Steve Jobs is dying" card.

And yes, Android still sucks.



That's not what the hours-long lineups and Apple's sales figures say.

What would be really interesting (and completely imeasurable at that!) would be how many potential sales Apple lost because of this debacle. Could the iPhone 4 be even bigger than it already is? That would make for some very interesting reading if someone were able to conduct a poll!

They can't keep up with production as it is ;)

Basically I'm one of *those* people who are a "costed sale" because of antenna-gate and the proximity sensor issue which I only found out about AFTER I had placed my order for the IP4. Safe to say, I went back the next day to AT&T Wireless and cancelled the order. In the end I'm relieved, because I don't really use my existing cell phone much and paying $90/month just was gonna be a big waste of cash.

That's true, but that isn't really a measure of how many extra orders they may have had. All that shows is that the iPhone 4 is already a big seller, but I'm sure Apple would have been more than happy to sell a little more :D

It's all academic at this point. iPhone sales as they are, are record-breaking.

Consider this:

The Space Shuttle's engines deliver around 37 million horsepower. Would they be that much more impressive if they delivered 45?

I'm sure Apple wouldn't have minded getting those extra 100,000 (just throwing out a figure) or so customers they potentially lost. But at this point, the iPhone has a momentum all its own and they'll make up for any loss easily. As in, they don't really have anything to worry about.

That's one of the rare instances that anything you say makes actual sense instead of just relentless fanboying.

The only thing that's failed is the iP4 antenna LOL. Does Jobs look healthy to you? What would you guess his weight is?

I don't know. I'm not his doctor. I don't know how people look not too long after a liver transplant.

His health is beside the point, anyway. For someone who is *allegedly* dying, he's shaking up the industry. Which is a helluva lot more than a lot of healthy CEOs are doing. What an embarrassment for the also-rans: a sick and dying man putting everyone else to school and making it look easy.
