I Hate Apple

I loathe and detest their consumerist / profiteering junk. Why?
Marie’s iPhone 6 is absolute junk. Unfortunately she has all the data. 30G compared to my 500meg. This wouldn't be an issue if she hadn't left her Apple charging lead at home. We have a generic one in the van, but her phone is so “clever” it knows it’s not genuine and continuously throws error messages up. So we buy another, good quality one before we leave the UK. I’ve got better things to do than trawling around looking for genuine Apple stuff. But no after a couple of days it figures out this is non genuine and stops charging. 3rd new lead. Yeah it works...for a week FFS!!! This is just typical Apple nonsensical crap which no other manufacturer seems to be able or want to impose on their customers. We seem to spend our days obsessing about will it won't it work today, life’s too short for that!!
Even when it does decide to charge, which seems pretty random, the battery life is pathetic. All we want is to be able to use Google maps and the odd search when we're out and about. It’s incapable of such a simple task.
So it may or may not be the lead. Buy a new Apple one for £40? They’re junk and fail within months or ....
Online searches confirm iPhone's are known for this. Hard reset. Nope. Backup and reinstall. Nope. Haven't got a pc and there’s never Wi-Fi in Europe that’s up to that.
So £200 to repair it, or a new phone?? Nope, Apple you can do one. Compared to Jess and Ellie's Huawei P9's the camera is pathetic, barely better than my 720p resolution phone😂 the operating system certainly doesn't live up to the hype. So there you go, I'll take great pleasure in jumping up down on it until it’s in a million pieces. Umm, no wait. There's going to be a queue of Apple fanboyz waiting to hand over a load of dosh......
Through all this my 50quid refurbed Huawei has worked just fine. Just no data. We'll chuck the iPhone and get a cheapee phone and alter my data plan. Mine is only £4.99 a month so 500meg isn't bad.
