What is unique to some Apple fans, that it's not enough for to merely deny bugs and criticism, they also often personally attack the messenger. Other companies have bugs which they promise to fix someday; Apple doesn't have any bugs or problematic behaviour and it's your fault if you have any issues.
There isn't a thread on HN about Apple without this behaviour. Either this is an unofficial Apple PR guideline or a symptom of cult membership...

- threeseed 6y agoClassic strawman argument. Can you provide examples of these people who are saying Apple products don't have bugs or problematic behaviour ?
- yyyk 6y agoNobody is saying that openly, but every actual report or complaint is met by derision, which amounts to the same thing. Apple denied it slowed down old phones (it did), it denied butterfly keyboard problem, "you're holding it wrong". Even this comment thread has an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23702751 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23702751
