One of the dumber posts I've read recently. But that's KitFisto for you.
He is partially right. Need proof watch the Jimmy Kimmel video where they showed people the "iPhone 5" and how much better it was then the the 4 and 4s people had.

Sorry, but it's true. The Apple crowd is the only crowd I know that lines up to buy the same product they bought last year with a few new bells and whistles that really amount to crap.
Sometimes there is a great leap in tech that calls for an "upgrade" which I understand, but the Apple crowd shells out 2-3X the money the cost of the same product without the Apple logo on it and smile when Apple bends them over each year with the SAME product with a new sticker.
The Apple crowd is usually the same crowd you see holding their Starbucks logo cups forward so everyone can know they spent $8 on a coffee.

Lol...I wouldn't watch Jimmy Kimmel if my life depended on it. KitFisto is always looking for attention anyway.
And this is coming from a PC guy.

Apple haters will always hate. Always have always will.
Who's a hater Josh? I own a couple of Apple products. I'm just not dumb enough to run to the store every year for the "latest and greatest" for $500 or more a pop because THIS years model has a processor that is .000000001 seconds faster than last years.
Also, their company does crap like in this thread title and people still worship them.

Yeah, I'm looking for attention by giving my opinion.
The same could be said for those who post anything, anytime.

You do tend to spout your usual anti apple BS whenever you have the chance. I think we ALL get it.

You buy EA sports NHL game every year. What's the difference?
Because you take pot shots at people who upgrade every year or two when a new product comes out. I guess I'm dumb then because if I feel it's an upgrade I'll spend MY money on it. It's really none of your business what I do with said money when new tech comes out.
I think the lawsuit is lame but their tech is great so I'll keep buying. I'll reference Keith's comment about CFA that's his money to spend there, and I've chosen not to but I'm not gonna say crap about him because he does.

I had to think about what CFA meant.
You probably don't realize that previous-generation Apple products have a very high re-sale value on the secondary market. A lot of folks are able to upgrade their iPhones each year, by selling off their models from "last year". There's nothing wrong with that. There are also the die-hard Samsung loyalists, who can't wait to shell out $800+ for the new "Galaxy" phones before they hit the market. Of course, they could do the logical thing and wait for the phones to officially arrive in the U.S., instead of importing them from South Korea. But, if they did that, they wouldn't be able to show it off to their friends

One big difference about buying a overseas Samsung phone(or any phone for that matter) its 100% unlocked. No new contract, not limitations. Also many who are not up for upgrade are paying nearly just as much for a locked down phone.

Why didn't the sue these guys? For one, they produce products that actually compete with Apple.
Instead:
"Apple brand is widely recognised and the company says that A.pl, by using the name that sounds similar, is using Apple's reputation," patent office spokesman Adam Taukert said.
