For 6th straight year, Apple is most admired company -------> Hahahahahah a big llllllllllllllllllollllllllllllllllllll to that :p

Why shouldn't they be admired? They are loaded with dough. Im no Apple fan but I do admire them for what they've accomplished. In a time when Sony, HTC, Nokia, and LG are losing their grip, Apple keeps surging ahead. Consider this too, they only release 1 phone a year and accomplish great sales. If any of you ran Apple, you'd be quite happy im sure.

Hate all you want but success speaks for itself.

Great post man. It's not about fanboy, or loving apple. It's about the bottom line, and apple is a rock solid, successful company. People hate, but they'd love to be in apples position. Expect lots of red for your unbiased, non subjective, highly intelligent comment.

Because they can't afford to have another phone with crappy and buggy OS.

Go and check HTC, Nokia, LG and Sony's flagships to open your eyes. I do agree that Apple was good back in 2007, 2008 and 2009 but now it is just an old School kid.

A dual core 1.2ghz, 1gb ram, bad res 4" screen or a quad core a15, 2gb ddr3 ram with a 5" 1080p screen that cost less $ your choice.

@AnTuTu I personally prefer Nokia and HTC to Apple. But they are going down a slippery slope and must strive to make a comeback. Apple meanwhile is the second Richest Company (in the worldwide I believe?) Next to Exxon Mobile.

HTC and Nokia wish they were Apple..

And that's coming from me a Windows Phone guy.. Check the unbiased box.

The majority reaction is coming from a bunch of close minded, silly android fans. The intelligent android USERS don't dis apple, they critique apple.

They know just not desperate enough to change. Apple will be the next Microsoft if they stay on present course. Their PR relation with the general public is at all time low. People hate apple! Lots of my friend WAS apple fan including me.

I think the fans Joey here is referring are his high school classmates (with smartphones bought and paid for by their parents).

Yeah, this is Apple's PR low point alright, that's why they're on this list and they still have the top selling smartphones.

Saying most likely means you actually don't know. Now stop with the excuses mr lyndon apple is the most admired, cuz they practice big business better than others. Companies wanna squeeze out the competition, you don't think Pepsi and Chevy would love to squeeze out coke and ford? You don't think Sammy would love to squeeze out lg? It's what companies do dude. They're all greedy, and want every penny they can get...except Samsung. Samsung wants to only make $1.10 if the device costs $1.00, Sammy wants to give phones away for free, and make no profit cuz only apples greed rite? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite...

99. lyndon420 posted on 03 Mar 2013, 08:52 0 0

When it comes to 'most admired' opinions, I don't think bigwigs and executives should have one...only the consumers.

How's Mxyzptlk? You follow him around so much, its like you are his little side kick.

If they only understood that gallito. This site is overran by a bunch of world of warcraft playing, lard butts, who troll every apple related article, all day everyday, and wonder why they're the majority. The business world, ya know those who selected apple as "the most admired company" don't bother with this posting garbage crap. They're too busy naming apple the most admired company, while the droiders sit on the couch and play armchair apple hater.

55. androiddownsouth posted on 28 Feb 2013, 18:54 0 3

dark, you claim to be non biased, but with statements like that, you show a great amount of bias and resentment. You post as much or more than most other people on here, and defend Apple at every turn. Because of this, you might want to check your glass house before you throw stones at other people.

60. darkkjedii posted on 28 Feb 2013, 19:02 3 1

Bro tell me how I'm being biased by defending apple against pointless bashing, and senseless disrespect of its user base. It's not like you see me on android articles doing what a lot of android fans do on apple articles. Please copy and post one link of me doing that. Also do I ever defend apple at the expense of android. That would make me a hypocrite seeing as though I use both platforms. I like and respect apple as a company, but they do have questionable business practices that I despise. I also think apples been resting on their laurels, and need to come off their high horse and innovate more. All's not well in apple land with me but they are a great, and admired company.

I can't remember the last thing you've said that had anything positive relating to Android. All you've done lately is defend Apple. Also, you generalized all Android fans into one group of fat, lazy, WoW playing idiots. I am one of those Android fans, I don't troll bashing Apple, and I'm not some dumb couch potato.

If you want to think that a lot of people are that way, fine, but don't sit there passing judgement on all Android fans like you did. That is not your place, or anyone's, for that matter, Android, Apple, WP8, or BB fan.

Check my posts Ruckus, and you will see honest critique and opinion, but I don't down anyone for their choices. My fiancee is a die hard iPhone user, and that is her choice.

You don't know me nor do you know my posts apparently so you are in no position to cast any form of judgement upon me good sir.
