    A bit like political party supporters then  
    Fanboyism and trolling a side, what actually makes one or the other inferior?
    One criticism that is aimed at Apple products is the hardware specs are not up to those of a Android phone or PC. The argument to that is optimised software to a device won't need the same specs.
    If you take an iPhone 7 and Samsung S8, both phones are capable of browsing the Internet, listening to music, watching videos, social media, pictures, filming and even making phone calls. 
    Run them side by side and you're looking at split seconds time difference, although those tests are not exactly scientific as you need to run them on clean phones, yet one may cache better than the other on the 5th 6th run.
    So it pretty much boils down to software, the options, features, how easy it is to operate, this is where the debates are really to be had.
    Android is great if you want full customisation and widgets, Apple is more rigid yet that suits people. I for one have no desire to change the font, customise the icons with themes. 
    For me, with the rigidness of Apple it's the little things they do have as standard, pressing the time will take to you to top of the page, double tap the home button lowers the full screen. 
    Samsung condense the site into a small rectangle in the corner, there is no default tap to take you to the top of the page. It's these little things that can be fixed with apps on the play store which you have to run the malware gauntlet.
    Apple are more stricter with their apps, where I "believe" other than a quick scan you can upload an app to the Play store pretty much immediately (may be wrong).
    iPhone on it's own is great, really is, but when you get sucked into that evil ecosystem it's even better.
    MacBook, iPhone, iPad, Watch, any device I can read a text, pick up a email, sync photos. I can sit at my desk with a call through the MacBook, move away and handoff to the phone, no ending the call, seemless. Crop a picture in my photos, 2 seconds later I can grab it on another device. Sit on the toilet, Reading a lengthy article, return to the Mac and one click and it's takes me to exactly the same point so I just carry on.
    I can go down the garden, upstairs, not thinking where's my phone, expecting a call. It's on my wrist, answer the call, done. 
    I'm sure this is all possible finding apps for Windows that sync with Android, but Apple it's out the box, you're not relying on 3rd party developers for updates, fixing issues. 
    When you turn that Mac on, there's no AVG running a security scan, no installing updates 1 of 2000, on and getting to your task within 15 seconds. I can even use my finger print now to unlock my Mac without having to type in a lengthy secure password.
    That was more than I expected to write. I know someone asked me further back why is Mac better, didn't get chance to reply as I got caught up in the ethics debate, apologise for this lengthy post was aimed at you, just the inferior thing was a good starting point

    Any big consumer based business uses cheap labour, and cuts corners to avoid tax.  Nike, Amazon, Sony, Tesco even Primark.  If you stopped buying products based on company's business practices you'd have to live in a tent, live off the land, and make your own clothes out of old potato sacks and frog spawn...

    Underwater? Sounds like poor signal, not an iPhone issue, I have no problems at all iPhone to iPhone.
    To say they are rubbish and so far behind the competition is nonsense, truth is all phones now are pretty much the same. Other than customise the phone to look god damn awful with comic sans font and daft icons, what can the Pixel do that the iPhone can't?
    If you're in the Apple Ecosystem everything is flawless, iPhone to iPad to Mac, handoff what I'm reading on my phone to the Mac, sync pictures, files, documents, answer calls on any device. 
    Not everybody wants to customise their computer, they prefer it to just work. When you turn it on, ready to use in seconds, not downloading update of 1 of 2000.
    Why do so many professionals use Macs? 
    Not interesting in upgrading graphic cards, switching out Ram and all that, they want something that works.
    Windows is so far behind Mac OS now it's unbelievable. The only complaint you can make is the performance with games, but it's not designed for games, still think they are missing a trick tho.
    No doubting PC's have the best power to pound, but Mac's don't need the same power as the operating system is optimised for their computers. They don't have Dell, HP, and all theses manufacturers to worry about.

    We have Apple TV, 2 iPads, a MacBook, 3 iPhones, a Magic Trackpad, Philips hue lights and Hive heating all controlled by Apple products and an Apple Watch. 
    We got rid of the laptop that, every time you turned it on, said 'downloading updates 1 of 46' and proceeded to grind through 10 mins of updates before you could do anything. Got rid of the blackberry that kept having service outages and the work phones made by Samsung that aren't fit to be in the same league as the iPhones. 
    For whatever reason you don't like Apple products it's up to you but they are far superior so it can't be on their performance.

    I too have numerous tattoos. They are either Austrian themed or band logos.
    I now dislike most of them and want them gone but I have to live with them now. I'm nearly 40.
    All my tattoos mean something personal to me though which I am proud of in a way. I haven't just plumped for the seemingly obligatory celtic arm / sleeve generic design thingy that nearly every bloke seems to have nowadays. Not judging anyone who has one of these, it's not my body so do what you like to yours. I agree with the two other posters on here who commented about other issues which cause people to get tattoos done. I think there is a sense of getting them to compensate for insecurities for some or just getting them to pose which again, insecurities but in another sense. Others simply like the designs and artwork and love them so fair enough. I don't really like tattoos. Never have done really if i'm honest.
    I thought they would make me look cool at the time but now 15 years on I look like a tw*t.
    That said though, I think of all the club badges, the Derby ram stood alone in bold black is a simple but bloody good design to get tattooed.

    And because there seem to be a lot of bird lovers on this thread. I don't actually know what this one is, perhaps someone can enlighten me:

    And this one is a Condor. Very cool birds, but pretty ugly up close, like a huge turkey.

    This is me with a Tiger in Thailand. Not strictly speaking wild, but not particularly tame either.
     
    And before you cry mistreatment, this is at the tiger temple where Buddhist monks look after orphaned tigers, and raise money for their upkeep by letting people come and see them. They're not drugged, just naturally drowsy during the day.

    This is the great white shark I swam with off the coast of South Africa.
     
    This isn't me, but it's one of the girls I was with. That's the cage that was all that was between us and the sharks. They really are big buggers.

    This is the world's worst photograph. But that is me with a wild mountain Gorilla in the jungle in Uganda. That patch of black fur in the background is the gorilla.
     
    This is a much better photo from someone who was with me with a much better camera, but the one above is the only proof I haven't just googled these photos.

    Of course I've just realised that no one here knows what I look like, so I could have Googled the first photo too. We'll never know.
