"People aren't furious that apple changed their connector"...

Actually I personally know a numerous folks who are really unhappy about the change of connector...

That said, I still use an old Nokia 6600 from 2004, which does me fine and the battery still last 4 or so days between charges.  So i am hardly a smart phone authority here.

I find it pretty funny how some people started out mocking the iPhone, saying it was a waste of money, over priced, not revolutionary. "Ack, my old flip Motorola phone could do the same." Then the iPad came around and it was the same. "Tablets... What a waste of money. No ones ever going to want one of those."

Now it's different. You will all admit that iPhones and iPads were techological revolutions, except "now the competition has caught up, x y z flaw exists in Apples latest gizmo, Apple is about to die, all hail Samsung" something or the other.

Just admit it: you were never going to buy anything from Apple, even if it were a cure for cancer.

Just admit it and move on. Apple is still doing fine. People aren't standing in lines to get an iPhone for their elderly parents. People aren't furious that apple changed their connector, because its been the same connector since the original iPhone (5 years ago) and you cant claim that much consistency with many other competitors.

I've heard the exact same claims here as I have on several other online forums today - almost word for word. You are not being original. You are being affected by a marketing campaign.

So just go on with your lives. Enjoy your Galaxy S3s and Nexus 7s and iPhone 5s and welcome to the future.


Best regards,
