I love Android and technology, and I don't like how people are ignorant and often show hate towards Android. I understand that I too dislike Apple, and my friends often joke about how I get so passionate. But I believe there is a difference between my moral and the thousands of people on YouTube leaving nasty and often wrong comments on video's dealing with technologies such as the Android vs. iOS battle.
I feel that my feelings toward Apple are made from the fact that I don't like their morals, or their ethics. Apple to me has created a beautiful platform, but I feel that it is wrong to figuratively 'blind' consumers into one line of products. I understand that this is business, I am the President of the Business Club at school, but there is a fine line between proper business competition and as Apple has seemed to treat it, 'taking over the globe'. I find it also wrong that Apple outsources business for more profit but also claims that they want American's to buy American products instead of foreign products like Samsung and HTC. By outsourcing, are Apple's products really America's? Also, it was in the news a few weeks ago that an Apple employee wouldn't let a consumer buy anything because she was speaking a different language, and it is apparently against Apple law to sell products to people who speak that language. That is racist, and should be fixed. In my opinion, people should buy products that are the best. If Apple had the BEST stuff, they should rightfully get the most business. But they don't, and what I hate the most is when people go around, brainwashed so that they truly believe it is the best. That to me is my biggest problem with Apple, they market almost too well.
However Android has it's own problems, from the fragmentation with the UI's and the carriers to the overproduction of devices. But Android, as an OS and a platform has is a quantum leap ahead of iOS in the innovation they bring.
My father declares that "he just wants a device that works" and after reading Jobs' biography has become bias that Android is fragmented to no end, blah blah blah, what ever Jobs said, blah blah. But he is right, all that matters is personal preference and owning a device that works. iOS is famous for being easy to use and working. Android is amazing at being the newest and working beyond most users knowledge. Now with JellyBean, there are really two layers to the platform, one for developers and one for users. As consumers it is important to know what you want, why, and most importantly, is it the best option. Many people buy Apple's products without knowing that there even are other options.
The main point of this is that the two platforms both have there own pros and cons, and there is no reason to show SO MUCH HATE ON YOUTUBE!
