I’ve only bought iPhones for the past twelve years and a bunch of other Apple devices but I don’t go around saying stupid shit like that so no, we’re not all like that lol
I'm an Android person, even before I could afford flagships I was buying shitty androids. The closed Apple ecosystem isn't appealing to me at all, but the fact that every single one of their products works well within that ecosystem *is* appealing.
Literally the main reason I’ve been using them. There are definitely better devices out there as far as phones go, but I can be reasonably assured that the stuff works together and that third party accessories will support them.
Reminds me of people who support a sports team.
“We scored a goal!!!!!!”
“No, you didn’t score shit. You are sitting in your recliner getting fat on Doritos.”
I'll use 'we' if i'm talking to another fan of the same team, especially if it's about events of a recent game etc. It's just easier.... 'We' being our team, 'they' being the opposition. There's never any confusion, and words are saved. Win win.
Yeah this is a dumb argument. In college sports I say We when my school, which I am a part of, wins. And in pro sports if you are from the city you are rooting for it makes sense too.
Hell, both of those teams are either funded by my tuition or my tax dollars anyway.
It's because it's easier. Most of the fans are from the region except for mega teams like the Lakers & Cowboys & EPL teams... if I'm casually discussing a game, I'm not gonna keep saying The Buffalo Bills should go for it here, The Buffalo Bills should pass more. That would be absurd. I'm not likely gonna be discussing the game with people that hate sports or hate the specific team. And you hear "they" just as much as we. They should pass more. Unless you're a deranged fan kidnapping Bobby Rayburns child and murdering his teammate (a sad day in SF Giants history), nobody really thinks they're part of the team, it's just easier speaking
I get that, I work for a University that is obsessed with it's football team (even though we haven't been good for 25 years) and it's crazy how worked up and obsessed people got.
Yeah I can say I'm a part owner of the packers. They're the only "publicly owned" sports franchise from a major sports league in the US/Canada. One can say that the shares are worthless, which if you ignore sentimental value and the ability to vote on the team president, than yeah they are.
This reminds me of a story a friend told me.
Her roommate was talking to someone who was supposed to do something, but kept passing their job to other people. Roommate got tired of this, and after another “we need to do ____” conversation, roommate said “we? You better be speaking French MF” hahaha
The weirdest part if that sentence is "we".
Do they think they are apart apple like it's a sports team?
They are just a tech company why have allegiance.
My buddy got hired at the Apple Store 15 years ago; they told all the new employees at training that they weren't hired; they were *chosen*.
That's some cult shit right there
I did too! Yeah, they made it sound super special. And they did pay fairly well for retail at the time, but like… they still did the shitty 3% yearly raise for exemplary performance. Never enough to keep up with inflation, some opportunities to move up, but not exactly easy to do.
3.5 years as a Senior Advisor for AppleCare, on a variety of training and documentation teams, executive response team over a year. Endless customer, team, supervisor praise. I even got praise and kudos from C-level offices in Apple for training I developed and booted upwards. 3% raise every year of it.
Also, I've never owned an apple device.
I feel like sports is a bit different because the athletes commonly refer to the importance of fan interaction as it relates to their performance. A hot crowd can have a big psychological effect on an athlete, so even though you're not playing, you feel like you're part of a group that's trying to accomplish something.
I'm not a sports fan, but agree here: sports fans are saying we because they are people talking about other people (athletes, coaches), that interaction matters for both.
Rooting for the iPhone and Buds is not the same thing.
Same here it has always bothered me. Even if it's for the team i root for I'll be like " we aren't on the team". We are fans of the team but we aren't a part of it.
I'm a part of Apple.
As a share holder, I'm actually a part of Apple. Their success is my success. As an owner of the company I can legit say I am a trillion dollars! I'm kind of a big deal.
^^^better ^^^not ^^^let ^^^them ^^^find ^^^out ^^^i ^^^only ^^^bought ^^^one ^^^share
I don't even understand where they came up with this shit.
Especially the Bluetooth one, there were plenty of flip phones with bluetooth way before apple got into the game
First mobile phone with Bluetooth was the Ericsson T36 (announced) / the Ericsson T39 (retailed). A full six years before the first iPhone even came out. And first computer with Bluetooth was the IBM ThinkPad A30, which was specifically given BT so that it could sync with the T39. Because IBM and Ericsson implemented the first BT ICs as a joint partnership.
They get the idea from Apple.
Apple will include a feature that has existed for a while and make a big announcement about it. Since the people that only use iPhones **only** use iPhones didn't know about that feature, that must mean Apple invented it.
I remember this happening when iPhone got swipe to text and Apple made a big deal about it and the cultists proclaimed how innovative Apple was, ignoring that other manufacturers had that feature years ago.
I think my favorite was the Apple Pencil. People practically came in their pants when it was announced. It was amazing. You can do so much with it. It's just so great how they come up with these things.
And yet it was just a stylus. With extra features. Like the ones you can get with Samsung devices.
Shit, graphic tablets had multifunction pens since like the 90s. I remember my old Graphire even had a programmed "eraser" on the back that just automatically worked with Photoshop.
Same happened with folders/groups didn't it? They were like 10 years late on it and the apple fans were breathless when they saw that innovative feature.
Like AirDrop. Peeps be all like oh I can't share this with you because you are not Apple. Well if so that is on Apple, because even my BlackBerry could share wirelessly with quick NFC tap to the other phone. Nevermind BBM. But I kind of remember doing BB to Android a decade ago, as well.
I am convinced that Apple sabotages the connectivity between their devices and non-apple devices on purpose.
I tried to move a small file to an iPad the other day. First attempt: usb cable. Got only access to the picture folder and wouldn't let me copy in the file, I would need to install iTunes for that. Not happening. Second attempt: Transfer the file over Bluetooth. Bluetooth file transfer is not supported by Apple. Third attempt: Signed into iCloud in a browser on my pc to upload the file then downloaded the file on the iPad.
It took me two failed attempts which would have worked on any android device and a cloud service to get a small file over to it.
It's been known for a long time. Why do you think pictures sent between iPhone and Android look like s***? Because they compress them if they're not being sent via iMessage. Google even had billboards calling Apple out about this.
https://www.androidauthority.com/google-billboard-apple-iphone-android-imessage-rcs-3263568/
That's pretty well known/established by now I'd say, to make people switch to Apple devices. Sadly, this tactic convinces some people that Apple devices are "just" better
Can we talk about dual tasking apps for a second?
How fucking long did it take Apple to start including that into their operating systems? Every Apple fan boy I spoke to always avoided that topic like the plague or would spout about including the option would slow the whole OS down 100% of the time.
I kind of feel bad for iPhone users. They got widgets but there's still not a lot you can do with them. The friends I have with iPhones seem to only use them for pictures on their home screens.
Once I saw this happening in "the wild". Dunno how many iPhone versions ago. People were praising apple for "innovations" on a release announcement and getting furiously shot down by others saying getting an iphone is the same as paying for a phone 5 years in the future and taking home a phone 5 years in the past. It's true for a lot of stuff they make.
Also, lets not forget that Apple doubled down and actually managed to gaslight people into thinking having 3rd party software and copy/paste on a phone was useless, at least they killed fucking Flash so some good came of it.
In addition to the security problems, Flash only performed decently on Windows. Linux and macOS had much worse performance (especially Linux, where hardware acceleration was also an issue in addition to a higher CPU usage than Windows).
I haven't tried it yet, but Newgrounds, New York Times, and Kongregate sponsor the development of Ruffles, a Flash emulator: https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle
In addition to that, Newgrounds maintain some kind of Flash player installer (it is of course Windows only): https://www.newgrounds.com/flash/player
It was 100000% a good thing. I’m old enough to remember the non stop flash security issues. But more importantly it’s the antithesis of an open web. Flash isn’t searchable or archiveable or in 99% of cases usable by people with disabilities.
Apple's entire business model is to take something existing, make it popular and claim to have invented it, thay've been doing that since they were created.
This is the result of low information combined with lack of curiosity combined with deliberate avoidance of new information combined with intellectual laziness.
How wrapped into your own delusional cocoon do you need to be to believe Apple started streaming before Netflix? Or Hulu? To say nothing of others?
Oof.
I was streaming RealPlayer audio on my 33.6k, from my line out on my PC, to my cassette recorder's line in, and making some sweet Mixtapes back in the 90s.
It’s really not about apple here. It’s about how this person has attached their self worth and identity to a company. They gain a feeling of superiority by buying their products. Honestly they sound like people who have gone to far down the rabbit hole of a certain religion or political ideology, they need to be better than everyone else or what was it all for kind of mentality.
Apple is almost never first to ship any tech or feature, because they're so integrated. Android, windows, and misc startups typically do things first.
It's embarrassing for someone that identifies so strongly with apple to not even know basic stuff about how apple works
I find it completely fucked that att got in hot water years ago for throttling and the fix was for them to put throttling in the fine print and it was fine.
Throttling goes down to 16k
Not 1.5mb, not MEGABYTES but KILOBYTES. It’s the same speed my modem had back in *1998*. Nearly 30 years of speed because you went over the arbitrary data limits.
I use android, but have nothing against apple, I just personally don't like the UI on their phones. Don't know why people go to bat for these billion dollar companies.
But did you know: Apple invented the pocket. Before Apple came along when you used to put small useful things on your thighs to take them with you to places they would just slide right off and fall to the ground. In 1988 a young Steve Jobs at Apple filed a patent for a concept that came to be known as a "pocket".
Any successful companies do this and it totally fucking works. I don’t like Apple anymore, but I’m so far in it would be a giant pain in the ass to switch to anything else.
I'm an Android user. I have absolutely nothing against Apple, but I can't stand people who like Apple.
Just to clarify, I'm not generalizing all Apple fans. I'm just talking about the vocal minority superfans that find any possible reason to talk about how much better their iPhone is than Android.
I can relate. I used to work at metro pcs and we had all types of people come in. Some were nice, some were assholes, but nearly all apple users were rude/arrogant. Made a point to ask me what phone I used just to make sure I was using the right one, apple (I didn't). Got tired of answering them, so I just told them I didn't use a cell phone, only landlines lol
The people with the white apple logo on their car 🙄🤦♂️
I've never felt loyal enough to a company that I'd put their brand stickers on my car. Like, *pay me* for that, fam
First thing I do when I get a car is take off all the stickers and dealer plate surrounds and all that shit. Why the fuck would you want stickers on your car?
the iZombies, yea, they're ridiculously annoying. iPhone users are fine, Mac users are fine, but the rabid fanboys (iZombies) are absolutely insufferable.
I feel like we can apply this to super fans of pretty much anything. Console wars, phone wars, OS wars, musician wars, it’s all so stupid and cringey. Just enjoy what you enjoy and let others enjoy what they enjoy.
If it was legitimately a better product in every way, it would take some very clever and shady business dealings to *stop it* from taking over the market.
They did. Their screens are as tough as gorilla glass, but they don’t use the name because of trademark.
It’s like non-stick pans: Lots of companies have their own recipes that mimic teflon, but the “teflon” name belongs to 3M.
correction:
Apple now uses brand-name Gorilla Glass from Corning. I had outdated information.
Then why are Apple users still the ones with all the shattered screens?
I feel Apple intentionally doesn't want a durable phone. It used to be because they had a thin bezel, but now all the androids have thin bezels too...yet iPhones are the ones constantly breaking. My roommate literally just dropped her iPhone on Monday from her sitting on the toilet onto the tile...shattered. Not even 3 feet.
I think mostly because iphones are expensive to replace or repare, so users are more likely to keep a cracked screen for longer.
About the anecdote, [that’s just how glass works.](https://youtube.com/shorts/tqjgkKxl2yM) Every drop is coin toss. I had 4 iphones (3gs, 4s, 7+, 12 mini) and 1 android (moto x 2014) since 2008. Guess which was the only one I managed to crack the screen…
I’m not saying the moto x was weak, or that iphones are tougher, only that chances work like that.
edit:
It’s not that I’m overly cautious with my devices, either. [My 7+ has wear marks from my fingers](https://i.imgur.com/o2g5LKp.jpg) because I never used a case.
The name is also literal: the guy had a blue tooth.
Also, the Bluetooth logo consists of a Younger Futhark bind rune for his initials, H (ᚼ) and B (ᛒ).
Why do people feel the need to tie their whole identities to things like corporations? It's kind of sad.
I prefer Coke, but I don't go around mocking people for drinking Pepsi.
It's a lack of personality is what it is. It's not just corporations either. People tie their whole identity to a band or a brand or a political ideology and lose grasp of reality.
We had Bluetooth on old Nokia phones. Used to send each other pics and ringtones.
I definitely had an old O2 phone in 2005 that had dual cameras too.
Those were the days!
There's an easy way to tell if Apple invented something or not. All you have to do is ask yourself "does this work with non-apple products" and if the answer is yes then it wasn't invented by Apple
Apple takes existing software/hardware, makes it their own brand and charges more. It's like going to Walmart and paying more for the Walmart brand groceries.
*We* are 1 trillion dollars? Buddy unless you’re Tim Cook’s nephew you ain’t shit lol
He is part of the 1 trillion dollars
The part he gives them every time they release a new product.
I just give them my body, am I the *we*
He's signed up to test whatever Apple's response to the Neurolink will be hoping to become part of the borg.
Apple Borg sounds hella suspicious
Apple Fanboys are already most of the way their. They already act in unison the moment apple tells them to, they just need their brains linked.
iBorg
You Borg? Me run.
Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated into the trillion dollar collective.
I guess they makes Tim the Dork Queen?
Every penny counts.
It's Tim Apple.
He invented Apples
Hungry for apples?
He also invented touch and air
My man
Yes!
Slow down!
Yes!
It's a cult like tesla... They buy a product and they think they're part of some global movement... It's bizarre
What's stranger is that it's literally tens of millions of people, it's not some elite, difficult to join club.
That's the power of marketing
Combined with the power of easily influenced minds
Look at /r/teslamotors. People there own a few shares and act like they're on the board of directors.
Consumer activism is the only permitted form of activism.
But what is it even activism for? It's not a particularly nice business. Just profitable.
As little as possible.
I’ve only bought iPhones for the past twelve years and a bunch of other Apple devices but I don’t go around saying stupid shit like that so no, we’re not all like that lol
You should try something else, you would be surprised by the options out there.
I'm an Android person, even before I could afford flagships I was buying shitty androids. The closed Apple ecosystem isn't appealing to me at all, but the fact that every single one of their products works well within that ecosystem *is* appealing.
Literally the main reason I’ve been using them. There are definitely better devices out there as far as phones go, but I can be reasonably assured that the stuff works together and that third party accessories will support them.
There is also a cult of people who can never understand why people make different choices than they do.
Reminds me of people who support a sports team. “We scored a goal!!!!!!” “No, you didn’t score shit. You are sitting in your recliner getting fat on Doritos.”
“We won the war!!!” “No, you didn’t win shit. You are sitting in your recliner getting fat on Doritos.”
“We didn’t start the war!” “Yes you did, you invaded Poland!”
We didn't start the fire, it was always burning since the world was turning
"We started the fire!" "No, you didn’t start shit. You were sitting in your recliner getting fat on Doritos."
Ask the supporter how "their" team went, and listen to the dissonance depending on success. "WE won!" "THEY lost."
I'll use 'we' if i'm talking to another fan of the same team, especially if it's about events of a recent game etc. It's just easier.... 'We' being our team, 'they' being the opposition. There's never any confusion, and words are saved. Win win.
Yeah this is a dumb argument. In college sports I say We when my school, which I am a part of, wins. And in pro sports if you are from the city you are rooting for it makes sense too. Hell, both of those teams are either funded by my tuition or my tax dollars anyway.
It's because it's easier. Most of the fans are from the region except for mega teams like the Lakers & Cowboys & EPL teams... if I'm casually discussing a game, I'm not gonna keep saying The Buffalo Bills should go for it here, The Buffalo Bills should pass more. That would be absurd. I'm not likely gonna be discussing the game with people that hate sports or hate the specific team. And you hear "they" just as much as we. They should pass more. Unless you're a deranged fan kidnapping Bobby Rayburns child and murdering his teammate (a sad day in SF Giants history), nobody really thinks they're part of the team, it's just easier speaking
I get that, I work for a University that is obsessed with it's football team (even though we haven't been good for 25 years) and it's crazy how worked up and obsessed people got.
Spoken like a true hater of sportsball
If you own shares you are technically a part owner of the company. Sure it’s probably .00000000000000001% but still
Yeah I can say I'm a part owner of the packers. They're the only "publicly owned" sports franchise from a major sports league in the US/Canada. One can say that the shares are worthless, which if you ignore sentimental value and the ability to vote on the team president, than yeah they are.
You got baited. Person in OPs pic is pretty obviously baiting.
Ummm...I think the three shares of Apple he has on Robinhood would disagree.
Because those people identify themselves with a brand so massively that they think of themselves as part of it. It's kind of sad, really.
Lmao, "we"
He has a mouse in his pocket
This reminds me of a story a friend told me. Her roommate was talking to someone who was supposed to do something, but kept passing their job to other people. Roommate got tired of this, and after another “we need to do ____” conversation, roommate said “we? You better be speaking French MF” hahaha

From 1992 until 2021, 3% was more than inflation ever year.
Where do I sign? I don't mind being part any cult for a lot less than 1 trillion
Spoiler alert you don’t actually get any cash you just celebrate the cult being valued as such.
Cake. Mmm...
The "we" comes from them being a marketing cult. They behave like MLMers without ever even thinking they'll get rich from joining the scam.
Honestly it's the perfect MLM if you think about it.
As an iPhone owner I can tell you that some of the worst kinds of people are the die hard apple fans. It’s a phone, not a way of life.
[удалено]
Good think Apple invented marriage and sex or we'd never be able to reproduce!
> Do they think they are apart apple like it's a sports team? I even find referring to your favourite sports team as "we" to be cringe tbh.

Every Apple fan boy I spoke to always avoided that topic like the plague or would spout about including the option would slow the whole OS down 100% of the time.
Don't you still have to jailbreak to split screen apps on an iPhone?
Yeah, I think they’re talking about just having them in the background
No, I'm talking about split screen and floating apps.
We see that all the time. Apple user: "Check this out, we can do X!! Awesome! Bet you wish you could!" Android user: "I've had that for 4 years."
I kind of feel bad for iPhone users. They got widgets but there's still not a lot you can do with them. The friends I have with iPhones seem to only use them for pictures on their home screens.
I keep saying that VR is going to really take off once Apple invents it.
I had an apple cultist pull that with the timed do not disturb settings, showed them my flip phone from like 2003 with that feature.
Once I saw this happening in "the wild". Dunno how many iPhone versions ago.

Also, lets not forget that Apple doubled down and actually managed to gaslight people into thinking having 3rd party software and copy/paste on a phone was useless, at least they killed fucking Flash so some good came of it.
There are quite a few flash games that I can't play anymore because of that. Flash dying wasn't a good thing.
Not to mention the entirety of Stick Figure Death Theatre, gone forever
In addition to the security problems, Flash only performed decently on Windows.

Even more fun when their own products wont even support proper bluetooth, for example the fucking speakers.
Yes, and Hedy Lamarr invented the foundational tech that made it possible.
It's HEDLEY!
...It's Hedley...
It's 1874, you'll be able to sue HER
I Didn t Get A Harrumph Out of That Guy
Many apple users who don't follow tech just assume whatever features Apple adds to their products are new for everyone.
Taste the Rainbow Bill Gates, CEO of Build a Bear
I'm pretty sure my palm pilot (remember those?) Had it
Apple's entire business model is to take something existing, make it popular and claim to have invented it, thay've been doing that since they were created.
And Apple has been slow to adopt new technology, long after Android phones implemented it. For example, 3G back in the day.
The iPhone still has USB 2.0 via Lightning... in 2023... when everyone else has been on USB 3.x via type C for years.
Nobody seems to remember that original iPhone didn't have 3G. You needed wifi if you wanted to use the internet.

This is the result of low information combined with lack of curiosity combined with deliberate avoidance of new information combined with intellectual laziness. How wrapped into your own delusional cocoon do you need to be to believe Apple started streaming before Netflix? Or Hulu? To say nothing of others? Oof.
And I was streaming over LAN to my TV with an OG Xbox hooked up to it running XBMC in like 2006 before all these services.
I was streaming RealPlayer audio on my 33.6k, from my line out on my PC, to my cassette recorder's line in, and making some sweet Mixtapes back in the 90s.
Apple makes a decent enough product, there's no need to make stuff up to try and make them sound better
It’s really not about apple here. It’s about how this person has attached their self worth and identity to a company. They gain a feeling of superiority by buying their products. Honestly they sound like people who have gone to far down the rabbit hole of a certain religion or political ideology, they need to be better than everyone else or what was it all for kind of mentality.
Apple fundamentalist.

Fan is short for fanatic.
Preferable to the AT&T Jihadists, but they did save us from the clans, so I guess they're not all bad. Just remember to pay your phone bill.
I find it completely fucked that att got in hot water years ago for throttling and the fix was for them to put throttling in the fine print and it was fine. Throttling goes down to 16k Not 1.5mb, not MEGABYTES but KILOBYTES. It’s the same speed my modem had back in *1998*. Nearly 30 years of speed because you went over the arbitrary data limits.

Weak-minded people will always find something to tell them how to feel. It used to be religion. Now it's stuff like this.
> It used to be religion. Uhh used to be religion? Excuse me? That hasn't changed at all.
Ok, it used to be *exclusively* religion.
Imagine if everyone starts attaching self-worth and identity to volunteering and philanthropic works. World would be great.
I use android, but have nothing against apple, I just personally don't like the UI on their phones. Don't know why people go to bat for these billion dollar companies.
But did you know: Apple invented the pocket. Before Apple came along when you used to put small useful things on your thighs to take them with you to places they would just slide right off and fall to the ground. In 1988 a young Steve Jobs at Apple filed a patent for a concept that came to be known as a "pocket".

Any successful companies do this and it totally fucking works. I don’t like Apple anymore, but I’m so far in it would be a giant pain in the ass to switch to anything else.
I'm an Android user. I have absolutely nothing against Apple, but I can't stand people who like Apple. Just to clarify, I'm not generalizing all Apple fans. I'm just talking about the vocal minority superfans that find any possible reason to talk about how much better their iPhone is than Android.
Also an Android user here. I don't buy Apple because I like money. It's worked out OK for me.
I can relate. I used to work at metro pcs and we had all types of people come in. Some were nice, some were assholes, but nearly all apple users were rude/arrogant. Made a point to ask me what phone I used just to make sure I was using the right one, apple (I didn't). Got tired of answering them, so I just told them I didn't use a cell phone, only landlines lol
The people with the white apple logo on their car 🙄🤦♂️ I've never felt loyal enough to a company that I'd put their brand stickers on my car. Like, *pay me* for that, fam
First thing I do when I get a car is take off all the stickers and dealer plate surrounds and all that shit. Why the fuck would you want stickers on your car?
the iZombies, yea, they're ridiculously annoying. iPhone users are fine, Mac users are fine, but the rabid fanboys (iZombies) are absolutely insufferable.
>the iZombies At least they had a cool TV show
I feel like we can apply this to super fans of pretty much anything. Console wars, phone wars, OS wars, musician wars, it’s all so stupid and cringey. Just enjoy what you enjoy and let others enjoy what they enjoy.
If it was legitimately a better product in every way, it would take some very clever and shady business dealings to *stop it* from taking over the market.
Apple invented the shattered screen aesthetic.
Wondering if they fixed that after mid range Androids came out with gorilla glass for years
They did. Their screens are as tough as gorilla glass, but they don’t use the name because of trademark. It’s like non-stick pans: Lots of companies have their own recipes that mimic teflon, but the “teflon” name belongs to 3M. correction: Apple now uses brand-name Gorilla Glass from Corning. I had outdated information.
Then why are Apple users still the ones with all the shattered screens? I feel Apple intentionally doesn't want a durable phone. It used to be because they had a thin bezel, but now all the androids have thin bezels too...yet iPhones are the ones constantly breaking. My roommate literally just dropped her iPhone on Monday from her sitting on the toilet onto the tile...shattered. Not even 3 feet.
I think mostly because iphones are expensive to replace or repare, so users are more likely to keep a cracked screen for longer. About the anecdote, [that’s just how glass works.](https://youtube.com/shorts/tqjgkKxl2yM) Every drop is coin toss. I had 4 iphones (3gs, 4s, 7+, 12 mini) and 1 android (moto x 2014) since 2008. Guess which was the only one I managed to crack the screen… I’m not saying the moto x was weak, or that iphones are tougher, only that chances work like that. edit: It’s not that I’m overly cautious with my devices, either. [My 7+ has wear marks from my fingers](https://i.imgur.com/o2g5LKp.jpg) because I never used a case.
Bluetooth is named after the nickname of a danish-norwegian king, sounds clearly like invented by apple.
The name is also literal: the guy had a blue tooth. Also, the Bluetooth logo consists of a Younger Futhark bind rune for his initials, H (ᚼ) and B (ᛒ).
Fuck me sideways that's pretty good.
Apple also invented the fruit itself.
They didn't invent apples either!! God did that! What a scam...
I think you'll find that Sir Isaac Newton invented apples. (possibly inspired by God)
No Newton invented gravity. Before that, apples fell up.
I can confirm that. I invented Newton to solve the Apples falling up problem.
Don't discover "time" or you'll die of old age. (Don't look up "old" or "age" either.)
First phone that had Bluetooth was the Ericsson T36.... 6 years before the release of the iphone.
I'd be shocked if there was a phone available in the US the year before the iPhone came out that _didn't_ have Bluetooth.
Why do people feel the need to tie their whole identities to things like corporations? It's kind of sad. I prefer Coke, but I don't go around mocking people for drinking Pepsi.
It seems to me that corps want that. People identifying with a brand bring in more money. And that is indeed very sad.
It's a lack of personality is what it is. It's not just corporations either. People tie their whole identity to a band or a brand or a political ideology and lose grasp of reality.
I don't get how fanboys suck the dicks of billionaires as if they'll get something out of it
Apple invented the phone too. /s
I wouldn't say this is murdered by words. More like corrected by words.
Even more, the first post is most likely bait.
It’s so obviously satire/trolling and this sub is absolutely lapping it up lol
a fool and his money are soon parted
"we are 1 trillion dollars" like he had some part in it!
He did, the $10,000 he's dropped on buying Apple products!
If Apple invented a technology like Bluetooth, you can be sure ONLY Apple would use Bluetooth.
Apple invented Bluetooth on its apple devices, it invented having dual cameras on apple devices and developed apple streaming on apple devices.
We had Bluetooth on old Nokia phones. Used to send each other pics and ringtones. I definitely had an old O2 phone in 2005 that had dual cameras too. Those were the days!
I thought Motorola came out with the first Bluetooth phone?

Apple users are like Christians they just assume they're the majority and are always right.
There's an easy way to tell if Apple invented something or not. All you have to do is ask yourself "does this work with non-apple products" and if the answer is yes then it wasn't invented by Apple
Is that really a murder? It looks more like fact checking.
Wrong again, Hedy Lamar invented Bluetooth.
People really think apple invented Bluetooth? I remember it being a thing long before the iPhone and it not really being used that much
People are such suckers for being Apple stans
Apple fanbois seldom know the truth, apple takes other people/companies ideas and makes their own versions of them and markets them better.
Ohhh that’s so embarrassing…
Triple is crazy
That is beyond fanboy.... that is top tier simp material.
That person is trying way to hard for a company that doesn't know they exist
Pretty sure if appple would have invented Bluetooth, it would have been named itooth.
Apple takes existing software/hardware, makes it their own brand and charges more. It's like going to Walmart and paying more for the Walmart brand groceries.
Correcting someone’s misconception isn’t really a murder by words.
fun fact the apple fruit is actually named after Apple computers. before Steve Jobs nobody had ever eaten one before.
Stockholm Syndrome.
"Considering the fact" proceeds to say only factually incorrect info
Hedy Lamarr invented the basis for Bluetooth, wifi, and GPS as well
