Hi, I'm sorry that this makes you feel uncomfortable. It wasn't my aim to make people feel that way. Even if I was making fun of Apple devices and users it doesn't reflect the whole spectrum of my feelings. I do think that Apple has made some technological milestones and that their products are a strong alternative comparing them to the other ones (Windows Phone *cough cough)

Even if Apple isn't my favourite brand I still believe that competition drives progress which is why I'm actually glad Apple is such a big competition and vice versa. And it is because of users like you.

I don't really want to denounce Apple users for their phone choice. As I see it we've all chosen our phone by our past influences and experiences, and those naturally differ so there's no objective right and wrong here. Ultimately, you choose what suits you best!

And to be really fair, the only phones I've seen so far that would tick off all the boxes are old Android phones and the Fairphones.

Ah nah, it's OK I wasn't talking to you specifically. The meme is fine by itself -- it just attracts certain types that do like to say the kind of things I was referring to. Perhaps I should have replied to one of the other comments I saw that said this instead.

Anyways, don't let it get to you. It's your decision anyways. In that regard, have a nice day :D
