TiredOfStupid:

Honestly, I don’t have the energy to care anymore. The smug Apple apologists and haters with nothing better to do have completely overshadowed any attempt at a rational argument with ad hominems. Trying to find a genuine debate on this issue is impossible on every tech site I’ve come across (including Om’s live-coverage post unfortunately).

This is not the year of the smartphone, its the year of the self-important-idiot. You’d think people were debating which way to put the toilet paper on the roll…

…not really on-topic I know, but it needed to be said.

For you and all the others, then what would have satisfied you? It appears that nothing Apple could have said or done would have satisfied the detractors short of a total product recall, Apple’s abandonment of the iPhone 4, and their pledge to try better next summer.

While that may have gratified a small vocal minority, I imagine the 99% of satisfied users would object. So tell us, what else can Apple reasonably be expected to do for a product that the vast majority are entirely satisfied with?

No, I’m serious. What else could Apple have done to appease the dissatisfied while at the same time not pissing off the majority that are perfectly happy with the product?

What Could Apple Have Done? Nothing.
