Actually, you are describing computers.

As a whole, electronics gave become more reliable over the past several years. Apple was in a comfortable third or fourth place at last check for reliability, behind a couple of PC vendors. Blue screens are about as infrequent on a general use machine as the mac equivalents. My friends with Apple products have largely the same issues as those with other devices, most to do with battery or wifi.

Apple users have their own share of horror stories from Apple support - there have been a few high profile cases in the past year or two, some lasting years without resolution. It's a corporation, and behaves like one, albeit one that knows it must tread carefully at times given the spotlight it has earned.

Basically, when you choose to buy an Apple product you are choosing to pay for an extra warranty up front, before they sell you the real one that covers accidental damage. It's not ideal for most people, though their marketing department would have you think otherwise.

I don't get the hate. It seems like everyone who has a bad experience with a computer blames the manufacturer and then latches on to a different one and proclaims that the new choice is the computer making messiah, utterly ignoring the fact that many have made the exact same switch in reverse for the exact same reasons. It makes no sense.
