pretty much the opposite of apple's usual tradition of making products that are objectively good and don't need to be wrapped in coloured plastic and pitched by not that macbooks don't look nice but i wouldn't be any more likely to buy an eminemac

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:ill wait to see what they come out with post-acquisition before making any judgements you're missing the whole point. there's plenty of companies that make actually good headphones. those companies aren't worth jack poo poo because that's not what people buy. apple could have picked up one of those for much less than they bought beats. beats is a lifestyle company. they sell trendy products for people that want to feel trendy. trendy people doing trendy things lead other people to do the same things, which is how beats makes so much money. audiophiles aren't going to buy their products even if they make great headphones but who cares because they're greasy nerds and nobody gives a poo poo what they buy.

its what they deserve tbh & they seem to have sold beats transferrable rights which isnt usual the video ppl want me to use 50 different streaming things with all sorts of weird conditions & i just want to give them money and watch a tv 'if we sign with apple we know deep down in our hearts wed have to do a better service at a more reasonable price' the media ppl are the lowest of the low in business

srsly though apple makes rly good products, its just that they lay a few landmines here and there (see: colored iphone 5c) to test consumers in order to seperate the wheat from the chaff for when steveb finally returns to bring the final judgement upon us
