Re: Daily, Nightly and Ever So Rightly II *Chat Thread*
You may be surprised yet at the masses of people who swear off Apple products LG. All of my devices so far (iPod color, iPod touch and now I have an iPad 2 and iPhone 4S) have been gifts from my mother, otherwise I may swear them off in the future. They also increased the prices on their music. An individual song costs $1.29 now where they used to be 30 cents cheaper (like Apple needs the extra money
). My biggest annoyance with Apple is...
1.) The battery life on their products. They intentionally make it nearly impossible to get into the battery to switch it out without having to do an overhaul of the device altogether, making you pretty much have to buy a new device or your battery will die within hours after a little over a year and a half of owning it, or depending on how much you use it. THAT is one way they make their money.
2.) I think, however, the biggest ripoff by Apple is their "Keep up with the Joneses" approach to releasing a new device every six months to a year. Weren't the iPad 2's released just last year? Now they released the new one, with minor enhancements. Also, Nook tablets allow you to attach a storage device for extra space, whereas with the iPads you have to shell out a couple of hundred extra bucks for higher capacity. Also got the 4S iPhone, and they're coming out with the 5 here soon, and an iPad mini.
I'm done for now.
