JUST because someone opts for Android or Windows does not mean that one hates Apple.

Question - Remember what happens when there is zero competition in the marketplace?

If everyone ONLY owns an iphone - or if Apple gets a monopoly on handsets - then what next?

Apple lovers NEED those of us that select less expensive devices and those of us that don't have a need or a desire for itunes and such. You need us to make sure Apple gets to continue doing business as usual - but with competition in the marketplace.
