Please excuse me but I NEED to rant/vent and this is the only place I see fit to do it.
Apple products. They are mediocre. I have an iPhone 4 (updated with iOS 6), an iPad 2 (also updated with iOS 6) and an iPod classic. I could not begin to tell you how many times my iPhone fails me on a daily basis. Sure its all fine when I am just sitting around checking twitter, instagram, etc. but whenever I need to use it for something serious, nope can't do it. For example, I have been out here in SLC since August. I don't know my way around that well yet so I rely on the GPS on my phone to make sure I know where I am going. But I couldn't count with all of my fingers and toes how many times I go to use maps and, BOOM no service OR my phone just freezes. Anytime I talk for more than 30 seconds on the phone with someone my iPhone turns into a fireball and gets so hot I can't even hold it. AND ever since updating to iOS 6, it couldn't be any worse. My iPad? meh it's cool I guess, pretty dope for watching movies and shit on, but other than it is nothing more than an oversized iPod touch. You would think even something as simple as the iPod, something Apple has been making since i was in elementary school, has issues. I add an album to my iPod, go to look for it in my artists and the artist isn't there but I can go into a different category like songs or albums and the entire album will be there. The software? I will give them an A for the ideas that they have with interaction between iOS products, but I would give them a D for execution. I could get an email on my phone, 2 hours later the same email will finally come through on the iPad. Also, their technology is NOT that impressive, it's just how they present it. I worked in a Verizon store for about a year and a half and I could list 10 features off the top of my head that some droids have that still aren't even on the new iPhone. (Disclaimer: No I do not believe in the Apple vs. Droid debate. Both phones have features that are important to a particular person. It's all about personal preference)
Basically, Apple claims to be this super innovative company with all of this groundbreaking technology and money, hyping up their customers for products with MINIMAL change that only come out once every year. But when it comes down to it most of their products, the mobile ones anyways, are just mediocre/subpar. All I am saying is APPLE STEP YOUR FUCKING GAME UP. With all of that money you claim to have, put some of it to use in fixing your not even close to solid software, come up with a different NEW idea for a phone and take the fucking time to fix this issues that are right in front of you. I think that eventually more and more people will realize that Apple isn't as great as everyone thinks it is but obviously Apple isn't going anywhere with their great marketing. This will eventually get lost in the never ending blackhole that is nsg, but FUCK Apple GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND STOP MAKING SHITTY PRODUCTS. FUCK.
