It's Apple's way or the highway as far as they are concerned.

What I find funny is that we all live in a free world, (with reasonable restrictions) but people will let companies like Apple hold them back, you are not allowed to do something as stupid as upgrade a HDD, the pre-installed one will be fine, what change the theme of an OS??? That is stupid who would want to personalise something? I won't even get started on Apple's ideals of "If anyone makes something we will patent it, then sue them for using it."

Imagine if Steve Jobs (now Tim Cook) was president of the US "What you want to paint the interior walls of your iHouse, Life in prison for not doing what we say"
I don't like the way Apple does things myself. I used to own an iPhone about a year ago, and I had problems with the ipod app losing album art and info, I couldn't recover the art or info on iTunes, despite having bought the albums from the iTunes store. Then the phone crapped out one day without any explanation, it simply wouldn't read the SIM card for a few hours, and I had no internet connection when it started working again. I took it to my phone provider, they suggested I take it to the local Apple store, I take it to the Apple store, and after explaining what happened, was told the antenna had probably failed, (explains the network issues, but not why my playlists were losing data) they then said I could schedule a repair session that would cost more than I originally paid for the phone itself. I left without saying another word, went back to my phone provider, and since I had an upgrade available, I switched to a Windows phone. (Nokia Lumia 900) Haven't had any problems and haven't looked back since.

Even though I learned creative suite on Macs, after all the trouble and problems I had with my old iPhone, I would never willingly own another Apple product by choice.
