Apple fanboys tend to just buy whatever apple releases as cumbersome as they are. The macbook was a demonstration that apple has failed in innovation after the passing of steve jobs.
They attempt to lead the market and change the direction of the consumer, even when it comes to nuisance like dongles, headphone jack removal etc.
It's because of apple fanboys that $1,000 + price tags for mobile phones become normalised. I wish it was a bit more competitive
To give an example, On android I have to download an app and then download a PDF file then open that file in an app. On iOS I just.. l click it and it opens (whatever the file type).
The end-user experience Apple deliver is a tier above the rest of the competition.

I like apple for a few reason.., For one, Apple stores are everywhere and they are generally easy going with issues you have... they are very consistent with software updates, they always come.. their software in general is very very good.. and their products are also very good..
When it comes to Apple you're not only buying physical hardware you're really buying into the company itself... 1. Service 2. Software
Apple truly has the market cornered when it comes to stupidity. There are a lot of stupid people out there, and as a result, while a minority in the whole of the market, still profits.
Status Symbol better security than windows coupled with support and the general ignorance of linux (also with better security) and non technical people's fear of the terminal. Sacrificing ease of maintenance and upgrading apple deliberately makes it extra hard to fix your own devices.
Had an android, upgrade time came around (I've always had android phones so I changed it up and got an iphone4 at the time)
I couldn't wait to switch back, everything is so locked down, no free stuff, can't download anything like movies music gotta pay, hate clunky iTunes and the updates and syncing. Everything drm restricted, the Imessage android thing and I much rather have my drag and drop option, seems easierto
Apple isn't even that good, they used to actually invent things and make phones better but now they are about 3 years behind Samsung in terms of their tech in their phones. Apple doesn't focus on inventing anymore, they focus on user experience and fashion in a sense.
and their Products sometimes are easier to use than PC based/other brands.
I personally Don't like Apple. 9 out 10 Iphone users I've seen had Broken screens... when I've never broken a Droid... even accidentally kicking it with steel toed boots across a parking lot.
because it is a status symbol and because they are good at merchandising their bullshit, by keeping the mafia of not having an USB port for example. there is no reason for you to buy that cost more than 140 euros
@Jonny317 That's so amazingly wrong. Yes. It has not the same quality. Still, if you take the price/quality ratio, and consider a 100 euros phone to be a 1, an iPhone or whatever competitors that make 900 euros phones are definetely a 5 to 10.
You buy a new iPhone 7 (one year old) for $549 from Apple or certified refurbished for $350 form a carrier and you have a better phone than any galaxy, pixel or 1 plus, let alone any other android product. Buy an iPhone 8 for $699 and you have amodern handset that will last you 6 years.
@Jonny317 And yet, next year everyone is gonna sell them to buy the newest one. Regardless, 900 euros divided per 6 years = 150. 85 euros divided per the 3 years the one I just trashed lasted = 28,3. 150 / 28,3 = 5,3. So even if we consider the duration factor, the value is still 5 times larger.
iPhone 7, $350 over 6 years (350/6) = $59/ year. You may be an Android geek but don’t try to come at me with math. And you’re missing the big picture of what “value” means. Android people only understand cheap, not value.
@Jonny317 my Wiko Lenny 4 Plus came out on January and 85 euros was the launching price. When the iPhone 7 came out, it started at 800 to 1100 euros, so please, don't make me laugh with your disinformation.
Yes, you’re correct but I’m educating you as to what’s on the market now so you don’t claim that you have to pay $1000 to use an iPhone. You can get roughly the same experience on an older device. iPhone satisfaction ratings are in the 90% range, no matter what price point. Again, the concept of value vs cost. If that’s “disinformation” to you than your a worse Android sheep than I thought.
Screw the rest of their products... but im MBP (MacBook pro) for life. Once you go Mac... Apple ain't shit on other platforms though, they are starting to tighten up everything, no room for flexibility.

The same features at a higher cost. The same features we Samsung users had years ago, at higher cost. by the way, the iPhone screen is made by Samsung. If they took that into consideration, Samsung still won out in terms of profit.
You iSexuals are disgusting; Steve Jobs are the most infectious STI out there! (smartphone transmitted idiocy)
wow! so much hatred in one comment so you had facial recognition years ago on Samsung? You had the fastest smartfone ever in Samsung? that too years ago? Samsung's camera is far low in quality than that of apple's Samsung is known to lag and hang in spite of its huge RAM And lemme tell you something new no matter if Samsung makes it's parts but the technology is still of Apple At last I would like to tell you that I'm not an apple lover

Simple: it's not a leading brand in the same way Christianity is not a leading religion. The majority of people do not own an Apple, it's just marketed to people as something "everyone has" so as to inflict the bandwagon effect. I also strongly disagree with #2 because Apple never allows SD cards or upgrades to their products because they want you to buy a new one just because you ran out of memory. That's why the iPhone is sealed shut even though it's not waterproof.
it is best qualities and easy to use, Im on plan to order news suite Ap labtop, tablet and phone for my employee use too maybe next year in first quota. .
gullible xD wtf. the funniest thing is how apple fucks people over.
they openly make fun off people who still use the "old" product from last year... i mean who the fuck has the money to buy a new desktop, new laptop, a new phone and probably a new tablet every year?
Apple is purely for ease of use. Apple products are perfect for people who aren't very good with technology. Otherwise, windows/linux/samsung are all better choices in my experience.
Not a status symbol if everyone around you has it. It just works better with my mac. My mac was a bitch to my Samsung when I had it. File transfer never worked.
@Lei123 That could be the case. I have a samsung, but I don't have a mac. My computer is an HP and I've had no issues when I've had to integrate them. I don't like the way that apple forces you to use their software for everything. I like that my phone is customizeable. My

I'm tech literate and still buy apple phones.

Because they're good at marketing and target people who suck at using computers. It's basically a locked down Unix box with an appealing GUI
close enough lol

And if you’re yes seriously comparing something called a Wiko 4 plus to any iPhone 5S or newer you’re reaching
@Jonny317 You know what? You're right.
OK whatever. enjoy your phone
@Jonny317 what excites me is that I wrote this take around a year ago and it still gets replies😂😂

Interesting Take
But I think it is more of a status symbol
me too😂
Because Apple is not limited to normal phones ! We can use it for many other purposes including arts !
They have amazing technology !
But Samsung has a thing that Apple doesn't- my teacher described it but i dont know its name
Samsung is not ready to give it to Apple , as he told!
Apple is demanding it lol!
it is best qualities and easy to use, Im on plan to order news suite Ap labtop, tablet and phone for my employee use too maybe next year in first quota. .
becausue their customerbase are guillable people, who neither know, nor give a crap about tech.
that's quite true lol
gullible xD wtf. the funniest thing is how apple fucks people over.
they openly make fun off people who still use the "old" product from last year... i mean who the fuck has the money to buy a new desktop, new laptop, a new phone and probably a new tablet every year?
and god are you shit on if your stuff breaks XD

You'll never go broke banking on the stupidity of the average person. Apple lives by that philosophy.
I think it's a social status symbol. So many places have cute accessories for Iphones. I have a samsung phone and it's hard to find cute cases :(
Not a status symbol if everyone around you has it. It just works better with my mac. My mac was a bitch to my Samsung when I had it. File transfer never worked.
