Why is Apple turning in such a cult?

I swear I can't go anywhere with out seeing an iphone or ipad I don't get it. It keeps you sheltered from the real world.

I honestly don't know how to respond to this. Is there a point here?

Apple/Macintosh was a cult 20+ years before the ipad, iphone, or ipod ever existed.

Why? Apple has very tight controls on their software products so there aren't 100 different manufacturers using iOS. They fooled around years ago with 3rd party manufacturers that used Mac OS. It didn't work well for the company. By controlling this they have only high quality products compared with Google or Microsoft where the product quality varies widely with manufacturer.

People here are turning away from Apple products, having realised that they (Apple products) no longer play well with other brands.

For example, my sister and her kids had Apple everything, but they are now sold on Samsung as Samsung is more compatible with other brands.

I have a generic mp3 player, but it is compatible with everything else I have. I wouldn't even try to plug it in to an Apple computer.

Great tech gadgets, really good design and hardware.

  • Why is my iPhone 5 turning off and not turning back on? This has happened twice now. My iPhone 5 has turned off in the middle of the night with a full charge and off the charger, and when I try to turn it back on it takes a couple tries. Has anybody experienced this?
  • Why does the FBI have such a hard time cracking iPhone encryption. Why don't they just use the spy agencie's methods of using spyware? All you need is their phone number, and a cheap piece of software and you have access to everything on the phone (including deleted info) Why make a huge scene about it, when there are much easier ways to bypass lock screen encryption? You don't even need access to the phone, it can remotely install with just one phone call to the number too… Just saying, if the FBI really wanted in, it would be very easy
  • Why does my video have such bad video quality? I uploaded my video to the computer and it had great video quality, then I uploaded it to Facebook and YouTube and It looked horrible. It there anything I can do to change that? Save it a different way or something? I see all these YouTube videos that have been filmed by iPhone's and they have great quality. Shouldn't my 14mp camera have even better!
