I'm not upset at all.

I always find it humorous when Apple haters post pictures. Of course, you can post pictures of broken screens for every single phone and smartwatch manufacturer on the planet, so
why do you single out Apple?
I have zero problem when people talk negatively as long as there is some basis in fact. Posting broken screens means nothing considering that you are talking about a minuscule percentage of users. Our family is all iPhone users for almost 8 years, and not once has anyone had a busted screen, but maybe we just take better care of our $900 products than most.
As far as running out to buy something that does only one thing different than the current model, wow, nice sensationalist claim there. My wife just recently upgraded her iphone after having the previous model for 4 years. I am on year 3 for mine. I guess maybe you are generalizing everyone that buys Apple products into one class.
So what has done a number on you so badly that you detest Apple so much?
This thread singled out Apple. Not me. I just made a comment and Apple lovers came a runnin to defend their brand. Why do you people care that I don't like Apple? Before you say that you don't care take a look at the responses you people have hit me with. It's pretty stunning.
It is a fact that Apple screens are notorious for shattering very easily.
Not a "claim". I'd post a dozen photos of people camped out in front of Apple stores but A) photos seems to tick you Apple people off and B) what's the point? You know for a fact that it happens.
Go back and read the posts again. I'm not going to go into that story again.
Posting to intentionally get a rise out of people is pretty much the definition of trolling. There is a whole technology forum on this site where people can discuss gadgets.
Not trolling. A comment was made based on someone else's opinion and I made my comment based on my opinion. Apparently that inflamed some inner Apple gene in a few people. It's actually quite funny, but I am not attempting to troll. Answering your questions is not trolling. Saying something negative about your brand is not trolling. I cannot help it if you do not like it but don;t call it trolling just because it is something you do not like to hear. It is a comment about Apple in a thread based on an Apple store coming or not coming to DS. Don't like it? Deal with it or move on.
Your irritation must include yourself as you must have half read my post. I read the entire post! I never accused you of saying I did anything. I just related my experience with my watch. If you read my post, I stated I have never smashed my MAGICBAND against the Mickey head, meaning the chances of smashing against it with a watch would be as unlikely!
Then I concede that point and apologize.

And no, I am not irritated at myself.
Have you ever owned an Apple product? If not, your opinion is 100% invalid. Apple's glass on their smartphones is the very same glass that is used on virtually all of the market leading smartphones and is made by Corning. You can find plenty of photos of cracked displays from competitor products, cracked screens are not unique to Apple products by any stretch of the imagination. Contrary to popular belief, comparing spec-to-spec Windows computers will yield similar, perhaps even higher price tags than Mac computers. Apple has developed a devotion to their products, born out of customer experience, not marketing. This is where you have it wrong.
Yes. Once. My daughter has owned three. Try again.
Never said it was. It is just far more common.
No. Sorry to burst that bubble. The last laptop I bought with a similar benchmark to an Apple product cost me
far less than that Mac. Apple people just refuse to buy anything else. It is brainwashing. A typical Apple user will refuse to try anything else because they have to have what everyone else has. "Apple is the best and no one can beat them! Yadda yadda yadda.." Yeah. Okay.
Going back to the one example I spoke of, the sapphire glass on the watch. I still don't understand why you call this claim this is crappy? Again, I don't own an Apple watch, nor a phone of theirs for that matter. I use a Samsung. But in terms of crystal used on a watch, if you believe sapphire is poor quality, you're pretty much slamming Omega, Brietling, Rolex, Oris, Bremont, Nomos, I could go on with most every watch brand on earth. You haven't hit a nerve with me by slamming Apple, but you may have by slamming watch makers from small boutique sized to everyone under the massive Swatch/ETA umbrella.
If this second hardest substance on the planet is used for the glass faces on products why does it smash so easily? All three of my daughter's iPhone screens have shattered after
very very minor drops/taps. My best friend's Apple watch face shattered after he hit it on a doorknob. A doorknob broke that watch face. So, tell me again how hard and great this substance is for device glass?
You are likely trolling but I have owned both iPhones and Samsung Galaxy's. Both are great phones it really depends on what the user wants or likes.
As for cracked screens, that can and will happen to any mobile device out there. I have never cracked one of my phones or tablets ever. I also currently own an Apple Watch. I will say that it is very durable as I wear it every day, as well as when I am running or lifting weights.
Apple does have a cult following but so does everything. When new Samsung Galaxy's come out people are waiting at the door to get it. Same goes for gaming systems and plenty of other things.
No. I really am not. People just don't like my opinion so they call me a troll. THAT is the funniest thing.
I know it can. It just happens far more frequently than on most other devices. Hell, there was even a news story about it a few years back. The media even stated that it happens far more frequently on Apple products than others after they conducted a poll from people like you and me.
Now, I understand that all the Apple users hate me and hate my opinions. BUT, they are just that. MY OPINIONS. If you don't like them.... move along.
