I have to agree with you Ruben, personally, I liked Apple a lot more when they didn't try to "brainwash" people, as you so nicely put it. I used to have an iPhone 3GS and I liked it, but I just HATE Apple's way to make you have to upgrade to the newest product, they just started making everything incompatible so you "have" to buy a new one even if the old one still works.
Also about the battery, oh that's just one of the parts I hate the most about Apple. In almost every other cellphone, it's possible to swap batteries if yours isn't working well anymore, and iPhones tend to have a short battery life, so before you know it, your iPhone needs to be charged every 2 hours. That happened to my iPod touch until it just wouldn't charge the battery anymore.
And one of the things I hate the most, is people showing off how their iPhone's camera is so great and that it's now 8 MP and it has superb quality and so on and so forth. They even
dare compare it to DSLRs, I mean, that's ridiculous in every aspect! There can't be any comparison at all between a DSLR and a phone camera! Even the lowest level DSLRs, for example an old Rebel XS, have a superior quality in every aspect, even with the cheap kit lens. iPhone cameras aren't flexible at all IMHO, you can't control the exposure, what I mean is that there's only Auto mode, there's not even a "Program" mode, let alone Manual, Tv or Av, where you can compensate the exposure, change the white balance, have different metering modes, etc.

I have those IT-friends who claim that an i7 with 8GB DDRIII etc. etc., just a very fast system, with Win7 is slower than a Core2Duo with 2GB DDRII on a Mac.
Which can never be true.
That's just so annoying to hear people say that, it's just babbling nonsense. Even without going into detail, you can
clearly see that an i7 with 8GB DDRIII system is faster than a Core2Duo with 2GB DDRII system, regardless if it runs iOS, Windows 7, Mac OS X, Linux, Ubuntu, or whatever.
And putting aside the iOS devices, I really see no point in upgrading my system every year, I own a couple computers, one since 2006 and the other one since 2004 and I have not upgraded because of 2 reasons:
1) They still work
2) They suit my needs

Even if the leaks and strong rumours hadn't come out, I don't think that would have made the difference. It seems like the iPhone 5 was designed to play catchup with the competition whereas previous iPhones were the game changers that the competition had to catch up to.
I agree absolutely. I'd never seen any cellphone being above the iPhone ever, and now with the Samsung SIII and similar Android phones, iPhone is at a disadvantage because it finally has some decent competence. It's great to see that other phone developers have finally been better than the iPhone because as I see it, before, the iPhone ruled over any cellphone. It's a shame that Apple is patenting such things as the "bounce effect" to keep the competition behind. It's just not right.
