Please enlighten us with all of Apples products that are turds as you put it. No wait let me help you. OS X (the best consumer OS), Macbooks ( great laptops and engineering), iPhone( best smart phone period ), Final Cut Studio ( top notch video editing software and used by many filmmakers in hollywood and abroad), Mac Pro's ( awesome video editing machines), Aperture ( one of the best if not the best digital photo management software there is ) Yeah all of Apples products are real turds
I seriously doubt you have ever used anything by Apple.
You can doubt what I know and have experience with all you want. I can say from personal experience with apple products that they are marginal at best. I owned the original Iphone. After about 7 months of use the battery started to fail. I found out that the battery was built into the phone and could not be replaced. Needless to say, it soon ended up as a tenant of the nearest garbage can.
My room mate bought and Ipad when they were first released. Not more than 4 months later the battery is failing (only holds a charge for 35-40 Min.). I would hardly call either of these a quality product.
The new Iphone is another flop. Not soon after the release, They realized there was a huge problem. The aluminum case is connected to the antenna, and the simple act of holding the phone in your hand shorts the antenna and causes it to loose signal.
While we are on the Iphone, they use obsolete coding for their apps, causing app creators to jave to re learn old coding. Forcing use of apple only apps.
I have used mac computers, and find them to be less capable of easy upgrades. And performance wise you can build a cheaper "PC" with double the performance for the same price. They are more tailored and aimed at people who want a convenient plug and play package that is "cool" looking. These are usually the same people who purchase a bose system because it is just easier or TV told them to.
As for their video editing programs, I cannot speak as to their quality. I have no need for them, so I have no clue. But I very much that any major motion picture company used their software to edit movies. If there are instances I would very much like to hear of them.
I am not just trying to flame apple, I have just seen too many down sides to their products to have any faith in the quality of their future developments. I will say 1 thing in their defense. Apparently they don't have a completely flat learning curve, because they made the battery of the new Iphone removable. But the Droid X is a far superior phone, with a better carrier. So I have to disagree that the Iphone is the best. Just my opinion.
