Apple pencil

[Pringles]

Incase you missed it, apple unveiled a 12.9" ipad and they also sell an optional $99 stylus to use with it, they call it a "pencil".

steve jobs:
"Who wants a stylus?"

"if you see a stylus, they blew it"

Not that i think Steve Jobs had everything 100% right (i agree with Bill Burr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew6fv9UUlQ8), i just think its funny [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Its also amazing that you charge this "pencil" by plugging it into the bottom of your ipad. So you have this huge 12.9" ipad with a ~5" pencil sticking straight out of the bottom of it, amazing.

Apple gonna go bankrupt in 10 years if they can't innovate something people actually want/need.

If the economy flourishes maybe more people will buy some of their overpriced computers.

with apple you arent buying the technology, youre buying the brand. its common knowledge that you could get better designed crap for half the price.

Pretty much, brand is such a waste. Shit, my dollar store shirts have lasted longer than my 40+ dollar shirts and i dont even work in brand crap

I admit, I have an iphone6 (work provided, I wouldnt have bought it), an ipad mini2 (i bought it used on ebay - mainly for another side job use), and a macbook pro (work provided).

I do like some of their products, but I would never personally pay the prices they are getting for their new tablets and laptops.

What amazes me though, is how people eat this shit up, every single year, yet the product doesnt change much, but apple sells is as new and innovative (when other companies have been doing the exact same thing for months or even years before they release it).

People are constantly dropping 1k on a new tablet, $750 on a new phone, year after year. I suspect the average consumer just plops out the plastic and upgrades every year, and are still working to pay off their iphone 2g.

I'm in the wrong line of work, I need to open a business that sells overpriced products to suckers.

Its because its a fad, all the mainstream people basically think your only cool if you have an Iphone (insert random number here). So jim goes out, says he has the new iphone, then james thinks that he has to get one so he can be "cool".

Their apps run better than anything on android OS. The gap is closing because of hardware but their shit is still good quality(ipads, iphones)....Their computers I don't care for especially price.

i had some girl at the bar trying to argue that her macbook was great because osx was the best, to which i replied "have you ever heard of unix?"

sadly, she hadnt. needless to say, that conversation went nowhere... but she did let me take a pic of her while we were fucking
