I'm not sold on LTE just yet. When the technology advances to a point where it doesn't suck all the battery life out of my phone in half a day, I'll consider it worthwhile. Until then, I see no reason for "super fast" internet on a phone.

That is the second reason Apple held off is the sucking of the battery effect. Would you rather have LTE + 2 hour battery or non-LTE plus 8 hours of battery...
You've not had to transfer documents between them. That, and they don't like FAT USB drives. It takes 10x as long to transfer files from a USB drive to the iMac at our church than it does to my laptop, whether native Linux or a Windows virtual machine. Change the filesystem to HFS or ext3, and it only takes twice as long.
When Apple was running their "so easy" campaign, I got a lot of calls from older people in my area who had bought their first computer and had chosen to go Apple. The biggest complaint matches the big one that I have about the UI: the toolbar that's not always for the program that you're working in. I've had some of them figure out my laptop just by picking it up, and I run Openbox...
After working with Apple computers as a network technician, I don't believe that I can, in good conscience, ever buy an Apple product.
I am in the minority because I am not a new apple user, but one who has never owned a windows computer. When I was in elementary school in the early 90s, we had a lovely tan box with a spiffy little rainbow apple called a Macintosh. Obviously, my family has upgraded since then. I just wish we had purchased more stock back then...
I've transfered files between the two and have not had the difficulty you've described. I have a FAT formatted USB drive (from the days before I owned an Apple) and it works just fine. Maybe you got a lemon of an Apple.
You're surprised that "first time" computer owners called in? You're holding that against Apple? First time computer buyers that chose PC call in just as much.

Lol,, I thought the same thing
Well it's certainly not going to be by showing them your mini.
Two of my Macolyte buddies have observed the same thing. It's not so bad transferring small 1MB PowerPoints, but transferring 100MB+ files is where it becomes extremely noticeable. A support call with Apple said that it was "normal".
Not in my experience. I got a greater volume of calls from first time Apple buyers than I get from first time Windows buyers. Differentiating between Apple versus PC shows a certain level of ignorance of the underlying architecture. And I got more repeat calls for UI issues, specifically that stupid toolbar.
When I worked as a network technician, I had a significantly higher rate of failure from the Apple machines than I did from the Windows machines. Moreover, I received many petty calls that they couldn't login, when the problem was with Apple posting a login dialog before the machine had even requested an IP from the network. So much for the "faster boot" argument.
