Why do many people hate Apple company?

Question

My honest opinion is apple is one of the most successful technology companies in world. I'm true apple fan! My question why do many people hate apple?

Answer 1

Did you know that Apple products are assembled in work camps in China? Workers have to leave their families to work for minimal wages and horrific conditions that cause many to commit suicide. Foxconn had to set-up nets around their factories to keep workers from committing suicide.



Apple product designs are closed. Only apps approved by Apple are put in the store. Can you designate your own app as the default iPhone app for e-mail or photos? You can with Android.

Answer 2

I am an avid android fan! (but we're all friends here!) I think that it's because of various reason such as:



1.) Price- Apple prices things very high! Too high. I think £600 for a phone is too much (iphone 5s) for a iphone 5 with a fingerprint scanner and a slightly better proccessor. They call a £470 plastic phone ''cheap''. 5c should stand for. ''Cheaply made by poor, overworked Chinese people, but your gonna buy it regardless of the price; so we'll break your bank anyway, have a nice day!!''



2.) Changes- Many other phones today are making far more changes and advances than apple has. Apple's retina display of around 326 ppi has been made to look like chicken-wire compared with the nexus 5's 445 ppi, which also has a much larger screen! The nexus 5 also has a far larger, 2.25 ghz proccessor, so it's also faster. It comes with Android 4.4.2 kitkat offers a millions times more customisation than the iphone. You can change literally everything on the android os to your desire, roms, launchers, even kernels! All this on the nexus 5 which costs less than half as much as an iphone 5s. Apple's os isn't open-sourced so your stuck with the exact same os that everyone else has, leading to the origin of the term ''isheep'' by samsung.



Samsung's phones have a front camera which is always looking for faces so you can just at it when its in sleep mode to turn it on. Apple still still has a similar looking iphone to previous versions.Sure they have a fingerprint scanner but the moto x has an 'always listening' function which is self explanitory and the phone costs half as much! I think people want something different. Something fresh from apple, which is evident from the staggering increase in Android phone sales last year. The nexus 5 sold out in the first hours of it's release. Apple can call themselves innovative all they like but in truth, they really aren't these days.



3.) Repairing a damaged apple device

Repairing a broken screen on an iphone can cost upwards on £60, for a 4 1/2 inch piece of glass. This has angered people a lot.



oh and then there's this...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2092277/Apple-Poor-working-conditions-inside-Chinese-factories-making-iPads.html



So their you go. Those are the reasons why android will be the shepherd to guide the ''isheep'' away from the greedy, abusive wolf that is apple. The only good thing apple has given us to date is the first gen ipod+itunes, because itunes is free; it organises your songs well.

Answer 3

It's because they keep recycling the same product ideas and exploiting the fact that consumers are such tech addicts and have to have the latest thing.

In reality, does somebody really need an I Pod, I Phone, and I Pad? Of course not. Yet they know people will spend hundreds of dollars every time a new thing comes out. i mean they even convinced people of their need for an I Pad Mini, which for all intents and purposes may as well accomplish the exact same thing that every other small product does. what's next, the I Pad Mini Deluxe?



They could theoretically just create a new software every time to get the new add ons or upgrades from like IPhone 4S to IPhone5, but no they create a whole new product and sell it for $200 more.



I'm an Apple owner as well, so I'm no better than any average consumer but that is why people have ill will towards Apple. People have come to terms with the foreign manufacturing situations like the one person brought up, so its not that.

Answer 4

Because they are talking over everything now this means that if you don't have apple you can't use some things and you don't get some things which is just annoying, if you can't afford it why should you have to suffer if they maybe had more middle of the market products yeah I might, repeat might like them

Answer 5

They pay less taxes than Exxon Mobil by off-shoring their profits.



They make I-sheep out of their customer base. I don't want to be a sheeple to a tech bully. Obama was right: you didn't build that.

Answer 6

Not everyone is that stupid -rich to afford their outrageously priced products.
