Well as I pointed out Apple products are between 65% and 95% more expensive than identical products elsewhere so I think you will agree that they are overpriced. I think you will agree that the build quality from the Chinese sweatshops is poor, even Apple employees accept that. I think you will agree that a telephone that can't make calls except under certain conditions is not a great phone.
Look guys, to all who have been so upset that I pointed out that the products of an american multinational are rubbish, I apologise for hurting your feelings. I would say that if you are so sensitive to the feelings of multinational companies then maybe a LUG mailing list is maybe not a good place for you, but hey that's up to you.
