I use an Android phone, but if someone asks me what I don't like about Android, I have plenty to say. And if we extend that to the company, Google, then I could talk all day.

I think that most Apple users will admit when Apple has a problem. I agree that antennagate was a real problem for a few people. But I also think that Apple handled the issue very well. And that the problem, while real, was also blown out of proportion. There is a lot of evidence for this last point, included the previously linked JD Power report (showing that consumer satisfaction with the iPhone 4 was the highest in the industry), as well as the fact that the phone broke sales records. And is still the number 1 or 2 bestselling handset.
And I think it is a problem if, in response to a misleading or wrong post about an Apple issue, anyone who responds is labeled as an "Apple lover."
Particularly so given the recent barrage of Apple critical posts by people who aren't particularly interested in a discussion of the topic, but are merely using the issue because they have some sort of beef with Apple or its users. (Who now comprise 51% of US households).
And while I understand why someone who owns a particular product might be a fan of the product, what I don't understand is why people who *don't* own the product have decided that they hate the product. Why waste your time on something you don't own and will never be required to own?
