[Sarcasm] Man, Apple sucks.

[BreakingKayfabe]

Every single time I go to the mall or anywhere where Microsoft and Apple are in close proximity, it's sad. You can see the look of disparity on the Microsoft employees faces. They get all bored and don't even try to engage customers. Almost like "I know they'll just go to the Apple store anyways, meh".

It really is sad. What's even more sad is the Microsoft rule that they must open a retail store at any mall location that has an Apple Store.

I recently saw an empty space at a local mall that has had an Apple Store since 2010 with the "Microsoft Store coming soon" on it. It just feels pathetic.

Went to one to buy my recent Lumia. They were definitely bored in there but man that guys face lit up when I told him what I wanted. Looked like I'd been his first sale of the day or something.

lol. You should've took a picture. You must've been the first sale since the past 2 weeks...

That's bizarre. I don't think I've ever seen a Microsoft store.

Me either. I've seen Microsoft "kiosks," but never an actual store.

You've never seen the one in Tyson's? It's at the opposite end from the Apple Store.

No! Never even knew it was there. Maybe because prior to my Lumia 1520 I hadn't really looked at Windows phones after my HTC Tilt. I generally get my hardware at Best Buy and my software at Amazon.

The one I go to looks pretty nice actually. It's in an outdoor mall.

I've never been in it just passed by. Tyson's is my closest mall though so I occasionally have to venture in for clothes for the kids. It looks remarkably similar to the Apple Store with big wooden tables. Just very empty most of the time whereas I've never seen the Apple Store not busy.

I can't imagine 94 phones being strapped to someone's body.....unless some were "in" that body....

The picture is pretty funny. He actually thought he wouldn't look weird even clothed.

Apple sucks SO MUCH that BlackBerry uses iPhones to tweet:

There's a fun thread over at CB.
Western civilisation hangs on this.

I read that thread earlier. I especially liked the guy who asked "what the big deal was" and that Blackberry is available on different platforms so what does it matter. All the while Blackberry felt the need to delete the tweet thus canceling out this person's "what's the big deal" argument.

Oh it's a fun thread. I've subscribed.

This should be a completely separate thread!

There are so many people that won't even consider a non-Apple phone, like my wife. Why should she? Her iPhone 5s is great, is consistently easy to use, and has a great camera, therefore, she has no desire to try something new. She doesn't like change when it comes to these things either. A LOT (millions) of people feel similar. Apple makes a good product and people are loyal to them for it.

My wife is the same way. Well, I am too. Apple makes great products. I wouldn't ever want to go elsewhere. I get a kick out of those that bash Apple just because they want to be different. Yeah, those people do exist.

Everyone has a choice to use the phone they deem to fit their needs the most, but most people don't know any better than using Apple products... Not exactly are they just making an educated decision.

I won't say most people are that way but a lot are for sure. That's the power of marketing and word-of-mouth. Hey, whatever works for them. I love having multiple platforms but in reality only iOS and Android offer what I need so that's what I play with.

That goes for anything. Let's face it. Plenty of consumers don't make educated decisions on products they purchase. They instead go with what they've had great experience with and that negates having to make an educated decision at all. If someone has a bad experience with a product by a certain manufacturer, they tend to stay away from it the next time. That includes people who have bad experiences with Apple products.
