Apple is the tech world’s most flamed company. Regardless of how good or bad the product is, it will always be criticized by the majority. What’s ironic is, most of Apple’s products, speaking from a purely unbiased sense, are excellent products. This point can be proven by reading critical reviews on any quality tech site and consumer reviews on Amazon. In fact, Apple has been ranked number one in customer satisfaction for years in the United States.
"Most flamed?" As if. Apple does not rule the word. "Satisfaction" is normally looking, not if it's good or not. FYI, Samsung is a much bigger company.

Technologically, Apple has been responsible for multiple breakthroughs. Some examples include introducing the GUI on a personal computer and the Multi-touch interface that uses the finger as an input device. In terms of design, Apple is consistently pushing the borders. The original 1984 Macintosh was the first all-in-one computer that can be lifted with one hand. All modern laptop designs are based off the original PowerBook, which pushed the keyboard up, forming the palm rest and creating room for a trackpad. The MacBook line’s unibody architecture (which has now been expanded to the iPad) is what leads to some of the thinnest and lightest enclosures in the industry, while maintaining incredibly long battery life.
Holy shit, are you high or just retarded? Everything you said was wrong.
The first GUI based computer was made by PARC in 1973. Multi-touch technology was started in 1982 by the University of Toronto. "Lifted with one hand" is highly debatable; that's like saying "the coolest looking thing," it totally depends on your view. Same goes for the design, that depends on your view. "Incredibly long battery life?" No, just no. Go underclock a i7 system to 1GHz, and you'll get great battery life. The only thing I see right here is the "thinnest and lightest" part. Apple products do look good.
