Actually that isn't my personality at all, what is your problem? I have no clue what brought on this tirade you have, but it is not becoming. It is just an idea, we use forums to discuss ideas and get help. I discussed an idea, but you are using my idea as an indication of my own personality, which I don't understand at all.

You want to know what my problem is? You strolling into my thread trying to make it seem like anyone who defends the idea that Apple is serving the market just as they desire by maintaining the brand identity that made them what they are today and telling me (and anyone else that said it) that we are wrong and that Apple needs to venture into the entry level world to retain relevance.
You know why I have a problem with you telling me this? Because you're NOT just sharing an idea...you're critically moving that existing fact is wrong, and that your "idea" is some kind of accurate layout of the future...when in reality, you have an opinion on the matter that is about as legitimate as viewing into a magic 8 ball and asking "Should Apple start making entry level products?"
My problem further reflects the idea that the spectrum of consumer deserves to have the ability to buy what I enjoy...I mean really? I enjoy Apple products for a multitude of reasons, most of which revolve around their usability in my day to day activities and world. A part of it, though, reflects the feeling that I am getting an upper epsilon product...one that stands out as a better built, feature rich and less "cookie cutter" generic product. I don't want to see this company selling iPhone's that are lesser built/developed/spec'ed for the sake of making sure every Tom, **** and Harry can afford one, even if they're ability resides in a more budget friendly platform. Android handles this...they do it well...yet for some reason you feel that Apple should venture into this consumer environment, with a disregard for Apple's product image, simply because you feel there's more MONEY to be had there.
If every company that followed a similar business model as Apple thought what you said was the optimal route...we'd end up with like a handful of companies on the planet in the end TOTAL...conglomerate companies that care little about image, quality or customer experience, and focus on MONEY. Thank GOD there are companies in the world that find that approach juvenile, boring and unworthy...and thankfully Apple is one of them.
That is my problem with your posts here (and it's not just you, you share the stage with a few more too). You don't understand why I'm attacking your ideas because you don't understand why they sound so asinine. You just don't understand...but you represent your words like we don't understand.
