I hate apple, hate the whole system they have and will never buy an iPhone.
I have no Apple products but I don't exactly hate Apple, either. However, I certainly don't like Apple's advertising strategies, marketing strategies or attitude:
I don't like Apple's advertising because it is smug and makes out that its products are the best and superior to everyone else's, that they are must have items, because if you don't have them you're not one of the in-crowd and therefore far less acceptable, like some kind of social pariah or something. So, Apple makes some quality products, but its advertising need not make out that nobody else does, and that if buy a competitor's product you're an idiot.
I don't like Apple's locking in or out of things. If I buy music or movies, I want to be able to play them on a device of my choosing, not like iTunes have to go out and purchase another copy to play on another device or elsewhere. I don't like it that perfectly good and respectable software is locked out of the Mac ecosystem, thus restricting the users choice to Apple software alone or having to do without.
I don't like Apple because it is law suit happy and sues anyone and everyone with even remotely similar ideas and will use any means, fair or unfair, to win. It's like Apple is trying to eliminate competition so it can climb to the top of the heap, not because its products are better, but that there is no viable competition in that specific area because it has been wiped out.
I don't like the fact that it gets all of its products manufactured for something like $2.50 an hour but sells them at premium prices like they were made for $25.00 an hour. The savings it makes on manufacturing offshore [as compared to onshore with more costly union labour] are simply not passed on to the consumer.
Yes, and I've had Apple fanbois try to alter/influence my way thinking with various arguments before... as you can see, they failed. So if you're thinking it, don't bother, orright!
