ha. perfectly muddled thinking that characterizes people who become leftists. you sure you're on the right forum?
Apple invented the product and therefore the market. If you had any principles worthy of the name, you wouldn't by anything that resembles or functions like an iPhone -- which they all aim to do.
wouldn’t by >> wouldn’t buy.
Really? If your money is going overseas anyway wouldn't you want the help the Koran economy rather than the Red Chinese market? At least Koran and Japanese companies do major investments in the USA. Not so the Chinese.
Also, there's plenty of boycotts\buycotts among Freepers because of a company's liberal or conservative leanings.
In your mind that makes anyone a liberal??
Using this logic, anyone who buys Apple is a liberal.

” you wouldn't by anything that resembles or functions like an iPhone — which they all aim to do.”
You didn't see the latest iPhone, did you?
They're starting to mimic Android features and calls them new. Apple is popular, which is why they're expensive, but people are catching on to the shortcomings.

There’s really nothing muddled about it. Apple products are generally 20% more expensive than the competition, they prefer a locked down environment that limits the user’s control of the items they purchased, and frankly their UI isn’t really that intuitive. And, BTW, they didn’t invent @#%^, they’re just really good at putting a pretty face on a product somebody else invented. Depending on how you define it smartphones existed for anywhere from 10 to 15 years before the iPhone made em look purty.
After almost ten years I think I'm on the right forum.I don't buy Apple because it was founded by Commies.I avoid Chinese made goods whenever possible because I don't like enriching our Commie enemies if I can help it.I don't buy UAW made cars because it's a Commie union (I've bought Japanese or German since '90).I don't buy Progressive Insurance because its founder and CEO is a major league Commie.
Are you getting my drift?
You hoid it here: Apple was invented by Commies. CPUSA members. Gus Hall was around then, he must have been the “angel investor”, pardon the religious inference. And Apple didn’t invent shiite (didn’t even invent the word ‘shiite’ substituting for you know what word.)
But seriously. I don’t know any more whose products to use: Lenovo - Commies, Google - Commies (one of the two founders in fact arrived from the Commie land), Microsoft - Commies, shall I go on?
