Pride? It's a just a phone. Man, the cult-like aspect of Apple is such a turn off...

  It’s the opposite :-) the poster said “swallow your pride” … the cult-like aspect of Apple haters is such a turn off

  Is English not your first language? "Swallow your pride" means giving up the pride. > Man, the cult-like aspect of Apple is such a turn off... It does not sound like this was intentionally ironic, but it works.

    > Is English not your first language? "Swallow your pride" means giving up the pride. To me, it read like GP is criticising as cult-like the very suggestion of pride being the motivation behind buying or not buying a particular phone.

      Exactly correct, hence the "it's just a phone". English is my fourth language and I speak/understand it just fine, thanks.
