but this explanation is just plain insulting given my loyalty over the years.


And let's face it, it is all about you and your tender sensibilities. Hey look I think Apple's explanation is cockamamie too but what does it ever have to do with what any of us purchased in the past?

People are a little caught up with this "loyalty" biz. I buy Apple products b/c I enjoy them. That's it. The minute they start making ugly, hard to use products I'll look elsewhere. Does that make me "disloyal" because you the way I interpret loyalty is that you stick with a cause in good times and bad. If the cause is liberty that is humanistic, if it's a company you have no relationship with except as a customer that is mindless.

If you don't like the iPhone 4, you have choices. Exercise them.

absolutely agree with you on this.. we are just numbers to big companies nothing more.. they don't care.. they may pretend to but they don't. we are just numbers to make their investors happy. Not just apple but any other company for that matter. I will buy whatever best is availabe at the time not because it's a new product from the ones I own.
 
Sorry, but for your daughter you can only blame yourself and your wife. :cool:

No need to be an ass. I suppose you're the only person on the planet not influenced by anything you may hear over and over, much like an impressionable teenager. I was simply asking what show or movie my daughter was parroting, because it certainly isn't us. Your comment about mine and my wife's parenting skills was completely uncalled for, especially since you don't know anything about us.

I hope you have enough sense to keep comments like that to Internet forums. You won't last long speaking like that about people you don't know in the real world. Good luck to you.
