  1. Yep... I've heard all those retorts from the usual fanboys from Twit, my comment on it was basically the same as Rossman's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgWhtACYcKA It's not only commenters that are saying those things... Apple specific publications and blogs are putting out the same thing. This is the sad part of it all... there are definite fanboy ecochambers that may or may not be paid by Apple that have this tendency to play down all sorts of stuff that comes out against Apple. This is probably the main reason why Apple can keep doing whatever they want... all these news websites and blogs that are completely focused on Apple related stuff are more about marketing and Apple PR rather than investigative journalism or just simply doing some criticism pieces every now and then. And Apple fans and costumers all follow those... because they seem like a convenient information source. And I'm not saying this is Apple exclusive... Windows Phones had one of the worst ecochambers I've ever seen in Windows Central forums and posts - I swear those guys were even worse than your usual sheeple, and Twit also has an Android focused series that often gives Google a pass for lots of eggregious things - but they are still WAAAAAY more critical of Google whenever problems arise. On the Apple side of things though, there are only a couple of guests that will often be a bit more critic and in depth about Apple's actions, but the main guys not only don't understand most of what they are talking about, they are always defensive about what Apple does, and always try to use strawmen, non sequiturs and whatnot to justify Apple's actions. It's just... self defeating. Apple only pulls this sort of crap because their costumers are so misinformed and so cult-minded that they don't even think they have the right to criticise the company they are costumers of. At the very least, I personally know how crap Android can be in several areas, so I thread carefully. Even people who are not into tech and not tech-savvy knows that Android is kinda piece of shit OS that can be horrible specially for low end devices, so they are aware and at least look into stuff like backing up phones and whatnot. The problem with Apple is the ecochamber and the false sense that it's somehow different and superior - which, to be clear, is true in some areas, and was more true in the past. But nowadays? Eh...
