I’ve heard some people say they don’t see enough Apple criticism on iMore. So let’s jump into it then, I’d like to keep this an active thread if possible. I’ll post my own dislikes later, for now, what do you not like about Apple?
Some may see this as a positive and part of me does also BUT Apple does not really innovate much any more. They let others invent and innovate, and then THEY come along later and often (although NOT always) do it better. Apple Pay, and wireless charging being 2 current examples. Even FaceID is not new or unique, yea yea they probably do it better, BUT Samsung has had an iris scanner for a few years now.

Let’s not even get into that iris scanner with Samsung. It’s absolutely horrible compared to Face ID. I’d rather have Apple not be first to get things out but get them right. I have both s8 plus and X and Face ID is night and day better.
Oh yea! 100% agree I tried the iris scanner on my S8 (when I had one) and then turned it off within 2 days. It just didn't work right! So we don't necessarily disagree here.
Unless one is a troll or something, people who congregate in a specific forum share the same affinity for whatever the focus is. In iMore’s case, the focus is on Apple products and services.
With that in mind, why would there be a “great deal” of criticism? Is there criticism? Yes. However, those who think there should be more are in the minority and probably shouldn’t be here, in my opinion.
I came to iMore (previously known as TiPB) because I was interested in learning everything I could about Apple products and services as well as help others who may be having issues with theirs. I did not come to iMore to bash or hate on Apple.
Oh okay. I understand....I agree, I’m not saying we need to criticize Apple more per se, just that out criticisms of Apple aren’t see enough by some people. So I decided to make threads where we could do that, and if people think we don’t criticize Apple here we have a place to show them to.
The greed in their pricing. I mean I’m going to pay whatever they ask. I always have. But an iPhone now costing $1149? Apple care $200? It’s like $1450 after tax if you pay retail. It’s not just the phone. MacBook Pro’s and all have sky rocketed in the past couple of years.
Greed is what I don’t like about Apple.

My biggest complaint, and Im sorry if this offends anyone, alot of Apple users.
Why would Apple having a lot of people using their products and services bother you?
The amount of people doesnt bother me in the least. The general attitude of alot of Apple users is what bothers me. Theres a certain amount of snobishness this comes with the crowd.
Apple should be leading hands down in voice computing, for example. No excuse for having such a huge head start with Siri the way they did and now finding themselves playing catch-up to Amazon and Google.
