I'm with you - I bought my android so i could mod it etc, but I dont give a damn about that crap anymore, the older I get, the less I want to tinker, and the more I want it to just work. I will give them credit, my iphone and macbook just work, without issue, and are very easy to maintain / support. That is worth a premium, in my opinion.

god Im glad u replied instead of random id be still hyperventilating im calm now thanks buddy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Basically its a product. Its got some clear value to it that other products don't have. You are not simply buying a brand.

If Apple products such as iphones and ipads are meant to last, how come they release new versions all the time (I know, money)? I think what pisses people off is they know that they're paying over the odds "for what it is" yet they also know that what they're buying is going to be outdated/obsolete within 12 months.

People are stupid.

I've never seen anyone own any PC device that lasts much longer than a phone.. let alone any other touch phone.

I mean do I think there is a manufactured demand for thier products? yes. Do I think Samsung also manufactures demand for thier products, only not as well? absolutely.

Hell Addias says you should buy new running shoes every 6 months.

Nestle says you should buy water instead of using it from the tap...

Every buisness in a free market manufactures demand.

All that said, Do I buy a new phone every time they make one, or does anyone Ive ever met? Nope!

bottom line though, people are stupid. Throw em a fish and watch em dance. But they arnt stupid becuse they prefer apple over anything else.

I will say, my iPhone 4S had much better build quality and is still in tip-top shape while multiple Android plastic pieces of shit have had physical issues in less time than I used said 4S. Too bad it runs a shit OS.

Still, I'm holding out hope that that $100 stylus is just a scarlet letter that will be used to determine who goes to death camps after the collapse and who gets rations.

Thats what the watch was for.. notice its digital similarity to a certain yellow armband I wont name.. chortle.

That said I was working with some peeps and this guy next to me got an email while his arms were folded accross his chest, and he looked down and back up and i thought, shit that would be handy for work i guess. not 600$ handy but handy heh.

get it his HANDS were FREE...

no that wasnt the joke i was making but I said handy twice so I felt like surely I was working on something.

Doesn't suprise me on the 99$ tag for a stylus. The only people around where i am (saratoga springs NY) buying apple products are the children. Stupid people will pay stupid prices for things they really should'nt be spending there entire paycheck on.

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".

This buying the brand shit is nonsense. You guys obviously have not held a macbook.. its in another league than all other laptops.

Some computer nerds think that the only thing that matters is whats inside the computer. But if they realized that some people prefer to pay for other shit, like how something feels physically or looks, then they might understand.

I am by no means an apple cult follower but if you are going to sit there and say that apple products 'suck' then you are just a non-apple cult follower..

This guy gets it. I was one of those nerds who would look at the internals, go price a pc/laptop on newegg with comparable stats and laugh that someone would pay 1-2k more going Mac. Years later after actually holding an using a Macbook on the job my opinion completely changed. It is not just about the internals, but the construction of the product, especially with laptops. I haven't held a laptop yet that can compare to the quality of Macbook. People ask me what windows laptop they should get and my response is a Macbook Pro bootcamped to Windows 10.

pages and numbers suck compared to word and excel, though.

Bought I phone 4 4-5 years ago still works perfect never updated operating system and it works great no cracks in the screen even.my wife on the other hand swears by her samsung along with family and friends and she is on her 5th.i think of apple like an ak and PC like a ar15.Apple just works,PC can do more but it's less reliable..... But I believe apples time is up all leaders eventually get surpassed.there kinda like honda made awesome cheap cars in the 80s and mid 90s but now there vehicles are crap...they waist there RND money building jets and robots that serve little function,Kia on the other hand is kinda like ur new age honda..... Am I rambling ?
