wilfredmerriweathr posted:I don't deny that but you better believe at the price apple charges it should do everything a windows laptop could possibly conceive of doing, and then more the myth of apple being expensive is really hosed. iPhones cost the same as Galaxy phones and the Macbook Air is cheaper than almost every other ultrabook on the market and has build quality leagues above everything in its price range.

Just want to remind you Apple is the best and the ATV 4 will revolutionize TV and everyone will realize how incredibly lovely set top boxes and smart TVs are. It will do to TV what the iPhone did to phones. Next 18 months are going to be Google rushing to get a version of android that supports a full app store to set top boxes and failing horribly just like they did with tablets.

Mooktastical posted:Yes, and their market share is bigger than any other manufacturer by orders of magnitude. I get it. It's just disheartening to see how willing a large subset of people is to shovel tons of cash for what is essentially the same loving thing as last year's shiny thing, but +1. when the +1 is extra battery life and a smaller device that your cell provider is going to pay for the majority of why would you not upgrade?

Every major carrier has free iPhones the argument about price can't be made. The only reason to buy android is you are making the conscious decision to have an inferior product so you can be different in some weird way. Apple will lead us into the cyberpunk future just accept it

thathonkey posted:That force click is a loving lame gimmick just like retina on laptops hth. Might be useful on phpnes tho (as retina is) How is retina a gimmick? Hi dpi is the future and OS X is the only OS to really do it well. There is no downside to retina in Apple products because they are the only brand that understands how to put batteries in laptops. Seriously guys just accept that apple is really loving good at making products that work well and are easy to use. Those who don't accept Apple just want a reason to be different than the majority and are willing to get a piece of poo poo that will never see an update and will be 100% unsupported in a year. But keep buying crap and keeping giving google all your personal data because they are truly a company that loves nerds and respects you.

Apple has over 80% of their phones on the newest OS you literally have no idea what you are talking about and it isn't surprising since you literally used the term iTard, you should stick to blog comment sections

I don't have any use for a tablet aimed at designers, i write code i don't draw things. It's almost like not every product is targeted at me. Are you one of those people who bitched about the Mac Pro being more expensive than you could afford?

The Goatfather posted:ever since they went x86 you can literally compare them apples to apples with equivalent hardware by other vendors and see that you're paying a 50-100% price premium for the privilege of drinking the koolaid Except no company besides apple makes good computers, the macbook air isn't like the #1 selling computer model because it is overpriced. You are paying to get retina screens, massive batteries, and amazing touch pads.

Moridin920 posted:that's a little extreme and I think not everyone needs to be super into tech to use a phone. Apple has a large market of people who just want something easy they don't need to fiddle with too much and it charges a premium for it and it's a very successful business model. only idiots whos time is worthless enjoy fiddling with Android and think it somehow means they have a skill people will care about

Laptops are for work, apple makes the best laptops for doing work, work is more important than gaming.

Moridin920 posted:i mean look you're right for certain people, people who don't care about all that crap, Apple is way better. they have better cases (monitor, power plug, etc.) for sure. I used to be like you and think that anything I couldn't tinker with was not worth buying, then i realized I never actually tinkered with it and having the option to gently caress around with something wasn't worse getting a far worse product. Apple already won the computer and phone markets the rest of consumers who haven't bought in just haven't noticed yet. The iPhone 6s will take Apples 50% of the smartphone market up to 75% and it will just continue like this until someone besides google makes a product that isn't garbage.
