This is just blind devotion to Apple. Comparing broken hinges and cracked screens. Tell it to my friend's thrice smashed iPhone 3 screen that cost over twice as much to replace as a comparable Samsung. Anecdotal evidence beats anecdotal evidence!


I illustrated my experience. I'm a results, logical, what's the bottom line type of person. I'm devoted to results.

Do you really think my purchase decisions had nothing to do with my experiences, but were just blind devotion?

Two iPhone 6s, 4s a 3 and two MacBook Pro Notes, and you were comparing them to Samsung and LG flip phones. I don't think your comparisons were valid.

I have a 10 year old COMPAQ that others use from time to time. It needs to be plugged in when in use because the battery hasn't held a good charge for the last couple of years. Other than that, and being slow due to storage capacity, it has never been serviced. I had several NOKIA phones in my home country that I never had issues with.

What I'm I supposed to be comparing the Samsung and LG products to?

I've had no problems with my LG, and Samsung laptops. The LG is still running 8 years later. Although it can't handle some of the fancy new programs that well these days, because of technological advances. The Samsung is on it's 3 year and still clunking along.

Had to finally chuck my HP laptop after 13 years. Just painful trying to load virtually any new software these days.

I'm sure people get good and bad service from every brand.

If I decide to buy say a Samsung or LG or some other brand of phone or computer in the future, say perhaps based on case design or whatever, and it gives me good service there is potential that I may eventually buy that same brand again. I was hesitant to buy an Apple product 8 years ago. However, the product has proven itself to me and for now I have decided to replace Apple with Apple. I have no loyalty to Apple. I might change brands in the future if I see something that prompts me to change brands. I have friends who have had no problems with brands that are not Apple.

And certainly you haven't; but, someone might want to claim I have some kind of blind devotion.
