Because you have a brain and aren't beholden to any one company, preferring to buy whatever works best for you at the time? Or was that a rhetorical question? I own a shit-ton of Apple hardware but I'm not a big fan of the company itself. In fact, they piss me off more often than not. But, alas... they make damned fine products right now. But it will be interesting to see who gets my smartphone money in about six months. I had iPhones but bought an HTC Inspire a year ago so I've been on Android for awhile now. I have to say that the experience has not been entirely positive. The phone is buggy as all hell and drives me nuts more often than not, not to mention that despite its more than adequate hardware, will probably never receive an update higher than 2.3. I consider that practice completely un-fucking-acceptable. Right now the rumored 4" iPhone 5 is in the lead for my smartphone dollar but I'm also keeping an eye out for Windows Phone 8. I've played with Win7 phones and while their feature set sucks pretty hard right now, it's hard to ignore that beautiful and intuitive UI. |
Thats pretty much it. Iphone was given to me by my company but ipad and mac air were the best products in their class when i bought them.
When i got that macbook air, almost 2 years ago, there was nothing like that on the pc side. hardware is beautiful. After making it dual boot to win 7 for when needed, i was very happy with my purchase. Come en of this year i will be most likely buying a win8 touchscreen ultrabook to replace mac air tho.
Same with the ipad. i had an acer android tablet for a few months and was not happy with it at all. And it wasnt hardware i didnt like... so ipad upgrade was a godsend. Its an amazing content consumption device.
No wonder apple is bigger than Greece when its haters are buying their producrs. ☺
