To Apple's credit, they rolled out a new version with fixes in about a day. Yet that doesn't satisfy the caterwauling spoiled brats who were inconvenienced because Yelp crashed on them when they were trying to locate a Starbucks in their area or they couldn't Instagram the Lemoncello Cream Torte that they had for dessert at the Cheesecake Factory to their 57 "get a life" followers.
What these overprivileged twerps don't seem to realize is that the iPhone is an incredibly sophisticated device and the software running it is enormously complex. The engineering achievement of the iPhone makes the 1969 moon landing look like cavemen inventing the wheel by comparison.
Apple's achievement in the consumer product arena over the past 15 years is nothing short of epic. If you took an iPhone 6 back to 1969, when we were landing a primitive spacecraft on the moon, it would seem like it came from a far advanced civilization several galaxies away. More computing power and software code exists in an iPhone than what all of NASA had at their disposal back in 1969. In fact, all those white-shirted, crew-cutted, skinny black tied NASA folks could have stayed home on that day back on July 20, 1969. Some 19-year-old kid could have been running the entire moon landing on an iPhone app from his mother's basement while simultaneously listening to a Guns N Roses album and playing Angry Birds on the same device.
People just don't respect Apple and what they have achieved.
Has anyone else heard of Poe’s law? I’m honestly not sure if your post is satire or serious. Replace Apple with any other manufacturer, and your post would be greeted with howls of derisive laughter. Seriously, re-read what you wrote objectively. You are honestly calling the CONSUMER stupid for not appreciating a product that doesn’t work the way they want it to? On Free Republic (a bastion of capitalist thought)? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills (/Mugatu)...
