On the Android newsgroup, just now, nospam claimed (yet again) that Apple
has an incompetent design team, an incompetent marketing team, and an incompetent sales team - in that *Apple only follows Google & Samsung*.
*Why does nospam have such a low opinion of how Apple makes decisions?*

Why does nospam claim everything bad that Apple does, is because Apple is
so incompetent that Apple can only follow what Google & Samsung do?
One would hope family members will
stage an intervention soon.

excuse for why Apple does all the bad things that Apple does...
He always employs whataboutism to claim Apple was forced to do it (by
Google and Samsung and Microsoft and all the other companies he lists). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
Specifically, nospam is claiming that Apple only follows what others do.

He hasn't claimed that.
You're either a liar or too stupid to understand that noting that others
are doing the same thing says nothing about why a company has chosen to
do that thing.

More likely both stupid AND a liar.

I won't stoop to your level.
My level is out of reach for you.

Why then do you think nospam constantly claims the bad things Apple does
are because Apple can't innovate but can only follow what Samsung does?
For example, Apple removes a port & nospam claims Samsung made them do it.
No other reason. Apple did it, according to nospam. Only following Samsung.
Why is it that Apple has no design expertise? No marketing? Nothing? According to nospam, Apple is only capable of copying what Samsung does.
For _thousands_ of bad things Apple does, nospam comes up with an equal number of thousands of excuses for why Apple has no ability to design.
All Apple can do, according to nospam, is follow what Samsung does.
Repeating the same ridiculous shit over and over and over is the best he
can do.

For once Bob Campbell is correct that nospam repeats the same ridiculous
shit every time he has to make excuses for the bad things that Apple does.
With only a half dozen types of excuses, nospam often uses whataboutism.
"a conversational tactic in which a person responds to an argument
or attack by changing the subject to focus on someone else's misconduct,
implying that all criticism is invalid because no one is completely
blameless:" <https://www.dictionary.com/browse/whataboutism?
Every time nospam retorts with a claim that Samsung controls everything
that Apple does that's bad, nospam is invoking this whataboutism tactic.
In effect, nospam's belief is Apple is incompetent at making decisions.
...you're boring me.

Finally?
But now he's just getting TOO repetitive.
No originality at all.

So you'll ignore it now - and not give it oxygen?

Hint: No smartphone OS is anywhere nearly as insecure as iOS is.
(hackers don't even need to be within a thousand miles of your phone to
completely and fully take it over any time they want to - for years!)
