And people laughed when I said I was going to get a BlackBerry Z30, yet I haven't had a single problem to date!
Likely Android users haven't downloaded the latest version because they're happy with the device as it is, whereas frustrated iPhone users have to have the latest OS because there's so many problems with the old versions. I have lots of friends with new and old Androids and they're all quite happy with their smartphones. My iPhone friends on the other hand can't wait to ditch their old one as soon as the next version comes out.
Apple screwed the pooch on this, they had to pull it and release a point release last night to fix it... why is it some of you are obsessed with every mistake Apple makes?Likely Android users haven't downloaded the latest version because they're happy with the device as it is, whereas frustrated iPhone users have to have the latest OS because there's so many problems with the old versions.

Although, it is typical of you when faced with another Apple problem to simply counter with "yeah but Android isn't as good, and Android doesn't sell as many, and Android doesn't have 64 bit, and Android doesn't make as much money"... When the fact remains that you simply can't acknowledge that Apple fucks up from time to time. I find that truly amazing!
It's not being obsessed with every mistake, it's the fact that you and djk think Apple is the be all and end all and everything else is shit. When you profess Apple is the second coming, you're going to get people pointing out their flaws.
Bingo - Apple is far from perfect, no one is saying that - the trolls are driven to distraction by Apple.
Good point, I don't recall starting multiple threads about this: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/04/us-blackberry-outage-idUSBREA231RQ20140304
That's what I've been saying all along and the reason I chose a Z30. However, if you listen to djk and otb I made a bad choice by not buying an iPhone because they're the best and they are the most profitable and everyone has one. What they fail to understand is that Apple is not for everyone. Might be good for them but just because they sell lots of phones doesn't mean you're an idiot if you buy something else.
Yup. I remember that recently when someone was asking me a bunch of questions about Blackberry models and which one I should get, I answered his questions without bias and even recommended he wait for the Blackberry Passport if I recall correctly. Pretty sure you were chiming in too on that thread, too. Remember it? I'm such an Apple fanboy.

Many Apple users are not familiar with variety as they are use to getting mass produced generic solutions that match the crowd mentality and shuns individuality. It is like having a TV set that can only receive one channel. They get the same thing at the same time as everyone else. Android is about individuality and when Google releases their latest version, most manufacturers use it as a canvass that they add their own individual unique features. I can download new releases of Android (actually some custom versions) but I will loose the S-beam feature that allows me to share files and pictures on other Samsung devices. I don't mind waiting.
