Why do so many people hate Apple?
Apple, a world-renowned technology company, is at the forefront of innovation with revolutionary products that are still hated by many. According to a survey in the US with over 500 people, Apple topped the list of 150 most hated brands with 12%.
Here are some reasons why many people dislike Apple, given by PhoneArena.
They prefer Android
Currently, mobile device users around the world are divided into two camps, Android lovers and iOS device lovers. Although the Android community is fragmented by Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi . but these users have a common 'enemy' that is Apple products.
Prestigious brand
Dr. Philosophy S. Umit Kucuk said that the highest value brands are often hated more than the rest. This is similar to the fact that an athlete consistently wins a gold medal but is still boycotted by a group of fans.
For many years, Apple was considered the leading technology company in the world. A large number of people are fans of the apple. But there are also many people who disparage the company's innovations and the "anti-fans" who always have reason to justify their feelings.
Excessive advertising strategy
Apple has always emphasized and widely advertised that the technology in its products will give people a better life and cover them with a mysterious halo to become more attractive.
However, most of the common iPhone users only use basic functions such as calling, messaging, surfing the web, surfing Facebook . The same thing happens with Mac users. They realized that they could choose another product that could meet that demand while being much cheaper than Apple products.
Apple fans
Apple has a huge following. Phone Arena commented, many Apple fans have a cult-like devotion, they always praise any of its products regardless of the shortcomings or objective factors.
Apple has suspicious behavior
Many times, users have complained about the behavior of 'prying' its money such as only manufacturing standard iPhone with low capacity (16GB) for users to buy more storage on iCloud with only the device included. Slow charger for users to spend money on fast charger.
Apple has also been accused of "squeezing" the processor performance of CPUs to force users to upgrade new devices earlier this year. To exclusively repair Apple devices in trouble, it also sued third-party shops.
That behavior is enough for many users dislike Apple.
The operating system has many limitations
Apple puts too many restrictions on users on their own devices, a lot of simple things that users are not allowed to do. For example, the lack of the ability to send files via Bluetooth, can not put the shortcut icon (shortcut) where you like . This makes many users have a bad impression with Apple.
Apple product price is too expensive
Apple products are very expensive and not everyone has enough money to buy them. For Apple anti-fans, they often use the word "over-priced" when talking about the company's products.
