Whenever Apple releases a new iPhone, it has become inevitable for rabid Apple and Android fans to trade barbs in a childish display of fandom rivalry. In the past few days, Facebook and blogs have been replete with taunts and jeers on both sides. It was not good enough that they didn't like the rival platform, they had to make sure the other side knew how much they hated their platform. Check out some of their work when Apple launched their new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones :

Frankly, the differences between an Apple iPhone and an Android smartphone have diminished in recent years, with both platforms borrowing features and ideas from each other. The gap is set to reduce even further as both Google and Apple make up and cross-license for everyone's benefit. Whatever features that are unique to a particular platform will eventually be introduced in the competing platform, so arguing about who came up with which feature first is nothing more than a pissing contest.

That's what we want because it gives us the freedom to choose between the two platform without worrying about losing some key feature we cannot do without. However, even when both platforms offer the same set of key features, one thing will remain certain - Apple will always price their iPhone models at a premium. That brings us to arguably the most vitriolic opinion that Android fans have about the Apple users - that they are all rich idiots who are getting fleeced by Apple into paying a ridiculously high price for the iPhones especially since they are using "dated" hardware or "older technology".
