Apple iPhone 5 disappointment

I find it quite ironic and a little hypocritical that the very forumites accusing the Apple users of exhibiting cult like behavior are the very same forumites that are the 1st to have their say in just about every Apple thread on this site.

BeVonk, Crowley and falcon786 your obsession with all things Apple supersedes, by the power of 10, anything I've seen from the supposed Apple fanboys on this forum.

In fact I'm so convinced of your obsessions that I guarantee you not only will all 3 of you not be able to resist commenting on my post but I would also like to challenge the 3 of you, as part of your healing process, to abstain from posting anything in any Apple related thread, on this forum, for the next 2 weeks (baby steps).

I don't want a retort or excuses or vindication of why you still are or want to post, just cold turkey, abstention, silence on all matters Apple.

That and that alone will prove to me that you are not as obsessed, if not more so, than any other Apple fanboy currently commenting on this forum.

If you do that... Apple related threads would have about three comments on them :)

Mac fan?Its showing. I mean you laughed at something that missed its own punch line.Those people he used in his analogy are spreading something specific aka Christianity while here I'm not spreading anything specific.I'm not pro android,ios,windows.bb or anything when its comes to tech I'm as neutral as possible.

Relax yourself bud. I was laughing because I got the joke, if you're having a slow day take it out on someone else.

Saying you're not pro anything doesn't mean you don't act like a fanatic towards apple... Only an idiot wouldn't call your posts fanatical.

Nice try lol but sorry I for one wont fall for that one,I'll admit I openly go after Apple fanboys on mybb.I go after fanboys in general you'll find me having a go at rouxenator in another thread right now because he hates BB(because bb killed his precious symbian in sa) but the reality is Apple fanboys are the most die hard.

The nokia fanboys of old would be ashamed they did not protect their brand as much as this!

You got a joke that wasn't funny or relevant just because it was made by a fellow fanboy?

My posts are largely in response to fanatics but my personal opinion of Apple is they make great devices which i do enjoy using and do own.I guess thats fanatical to you boys.:) So the rest of the worlds population that dont defend Apple with all their might are idiots because we don't follow the Apple cult.

Exactly this. Apple cultists keeps me entertained.
 
So there's an entire consortium (gaggle? brood? parliament? coven? swarm? horde?) of members whose entire confessed modus operandi in participating in Apple threads is baiting Apple fans. And this is ok why?

I would suggest a pride but horde would do just fine as well.

Hey I just commented on what I thought was a funny comment.. if you want to call me a fan boy because of that then go ahead. End of the day it's just a brand, really nothing to get so worked up about.

Nobody's crying except in your own mind. All you accomplish is frustrating the hope of having a decent and intelligent debate.

I understand. The reason why I threw bid or buy in there was in response to your free market society comment.

Anyway, I think Samsung's financial results dispel the theory that they don't have huge margins on their high end phones. It's pretty close to Apple levels.

And I'll give CaCell a try when I'm in the market for tech again.

Those "Samsung's financial results", are they exclusively the Samsung phones or include everything else samsung sells?

I saw a segment report somewhere I just can't remember where but Samsung's mobile business accounts for approximately half of their total revenue for the quarter under review.

What's cutting into their margins is unheard of marketing expenses. Samsung spent more on marketing than Coca Cola, a company whose primary cost of sales is advertising.

Samsung spent near on £2,500,000,000 on marketing alone in 2012.
 
I really, really wish we could get rid of the trolling on this forum.

bwana : Is rpm against reducing the amount of trolling that goes on here?
