It’s also quite amazing that we have a certain number of Free Republic posters who are so RADICALLY JEALOUS of Apple (for very weird and obsessive reasons) that they feel absolutely forced (in and of themselves) to condemn all people who buy Apple products and say that these people who do so are basically fools or idiots or crazy ... because these Apple customers do not listen to these APPLE-HATERS!!

What???? I love Apple. I've got a drawer full of Apple gadgets that I replaced with even better Apple gadgets. I have an iPad Air 2 and an iPhone 6 and they go everywhere with me.

I hope Apple becomes the first $Trillion company. I really do.

But I wouldn't wear an iWatch if someone gave me one. I just don't need the functionality and I just hate watches in general.

So shoot me. But scratch me off your APPLE-HATER list first. ;)

That’s perfectly fine if individuals determine that they really don’t have a need for a particular product ... whatever that product may be ... Apple or any other company. I don’t go around accusing people of hating Apple because a person says that they don’t have a need for a particular product.

What is being talked about here ... has to do with a certain small number of FReepers who are ABSOLUTELY OBSESSIVE in searching out all the Apple threads, and then criticizing everyone who says that they not only want an Apple product, but also that Apple is the one that BEST meets their needs in this particular product (whichever one we may be talking about on that thread). And this particular and select group of Free Republic Apple-Haters don’t think that anyone even has the right to choose an Apple product, and if they do, they must be idiots or fools or “paid by Apple” to lie about it online ... because, according to them, only fools or idiots or paid-PR people could ever say that Apple makes something good or an excellent product.

And these people also lie about the facts related to Apple or the products that Apple makes, and they call people names, and/or say that they must not be conservatives, or that they must be homosexuals or support homosexuality, and that they must have also voted for Obama! You find a variety of these accusation over a period of time, from various members of this APPLE-HATER TROLL GROUP on Free Republic.

Now, I haven’t seen you doing those things that I mention of this APPLE-HATER GROUP, because your name rings no bells with me. And besides that, I have never “named you” as part of that APPLE-HATER TROLL GROUP, as I have definitely done with others who have been easily identified before.

So ...and again ... I believe the choice of an Apple product or any other manufacturer’s product is solely the choice of that person and it’s done according to their own very personal and unique circumstances, preferences and desires. I never call anyone an idiot for choosing another brand ... but I do call some people idiots and also abusive for INSISTING that others must agree with them on their personal choices and then calling those Apple users idiots and imbeciles and fools and liberals, and homosexual supporters for choosing the products that meet their needs perfectly!

Apple is an EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL COMPANY which has achieved this success by meeting the needs and preferences of a VERY LARGE SEGMENT of our society ... including some very smart and intelligent FReepers, and it deserves praise as a company for doing exactly what creates a success in a company in our captalistic and free market economy and society, and these APPLE-HATER TROLLS on Free Republic seem to absolutely hate that fact!

You said ... “I have an iPad Air 2 and an iPhone 6 and they go everywhere with me.”

I had to laugh here ... as my iPad goes absolutely everywhere with me ... :-) ...

Of course the iPhone has the Internet connection, as my iPad does, and virtually the same apps are there for the iPhone and iPad ... BUT ... you just can’t beat that extra screen space of the iPad, and the new larger iPhones just can’t beat that!

Having that iPad with me is just like carrying around a desktop computer right in my hands and with such a light and tiny device, while still having a significant screen size. It’s GREAT!

My desktop computer now only gets about 20% of the usage it has gotten in the past. The 80% is going to the iPad!

Glad to hear you’re doing so well with your iOS devices!
