Along with the annual Samsung ads mocking said lines... Sigh...
I actually LOVE those ads, very clever! They did a good job mocking BlackBerry too...

Haha oops, typo- I meant to say I bet I'm more of an iPhone nerd than half of these people.
You're on an Apple forum telling a bunch of Apple lovers that their company shouldn't give them something slightly better to spend their money on every year. You had to know this response is what you'd get. Not many people are going to agree with you. People are defensive about their loyalties and major companies have some devoted apologists. Apple could release the same exact phone next month as last month and will still sell hand over fist with effective marketing.
This is iMore! Here, we are biased only to the fact that we prefer Apple products and services more so than not. With that in mind, those of us who've been here a while don't have a problem giving out honest opinion on something. For example: Are there numerous smartphones that have better specs than the iPhone? Of course, there are. That was my honest unbiased answer. Here's another one. If there are numerous other smartphones with better specs than the iPhone, shouldn't I get one of those instead? No, I should not! That, too, is an honest and unbiased answer. The problem with certain people is that they think that what they consider to be the best should be felt by everyone and when someone like me who settles for what's best for 'me', I get called a fan boy and Apple can do no wrong in my eyes. I just laugh because I'm always amazed at how many of us who frequent the iMore forums are here to help people, whether troubleshooting or giving advice whereas some people enter this forum, knowing it's Apple-centric, allegedly seeking honest opinions of which they cannot handle.

Hear! Hear!
Of course there are those who pose propositions that run contrary to the mainstream thought, and ask "what do you think?"... and then get their collective panties in a wad when someone who disagrees with their premise tells them "what they think". That is typically when the wailing and gnashing of teeth begins. Of course, they were simply trying to start a conversation - but they only want to hear from those who agree.
Such is the state of online forum sites.
To clarify- my panties didn't get in a wad over a difference of opinion. I was annoyed that I was talked to like I'm some ******* who knows nothing and was just talked down to with sarcasm that was uncalled for.

Truth is the reaction you received is not friendly because you were labeled troll by the regulars- not my words, it's theirs above. Not a great experience and not as welcoming as they pretend the forum says it is for sure.
Who called him a troll? Am I missing something here?
