That was just a joke. As you can see, hate can go both ways. I'm not a fan of Samsung. In mobile phones, apart from Apple, I prefer Nokia's design & build quality. When it comes to TVs, I prefer Sony.
Those who hate Apple are getting more pissed because even after hating so much, Apple's still growing as a money-making machine. They also hate the fact that Apple's trying to protect its IP, & are delusional as to how smartphones looked & functioned before the iPhone came out. Apart from these, they are also appalled with the "walled garden" approach.
Android's a good OS, but these people need to give credit where credit's due. They are no different from "iSheeps". If they refuse to buy Apple's products, so be it, but don't hate the former for protecting its interest.
