I love my MacBook, and I love Apples operating system.
Everyone saying "iPhones suck" I think are forgetting about back when they were groundbreaking. When the iPhone first came out, you have to admit, it was a pretty impressive piece of technology. Now there are much better alternatives. But I think we could still argue that the iPhone is largely responsible for the way smart phones have evolved over the last few years. The iPhone's style went from revolutionary, to pretty much standard.
That article Tryph posted pretty much says that everything I have really come to dislike about Apple as a company was single handedly Job's decision. If that is true, I really hope the company's trends take a sharp turn for the better.
