| UncleScrooge said: You're right, I'm sorry. Let me rephrase it: Do you think people only buy Apple products because of the marketing? Don't you think people buy them because they are good products? People always bring Apple's marketing up but that implies customers have no idea what they want, they just watch a commercial and go for that product. I think this is wrong. I think customers are intelligent and know what they want. And I think they buy Apple products because these products are well designed and worth their money. And just to make this clear: I like Samsung's phones and I like HTC phones. I think there's a number of premium smartphones which are very close to each other in quality. I just think the iPhone is part of that. |
Do you really, truly think the majority of people actually research this stuff? Seriously? Because I certainly don't. I think for much the same reason people have no interest in building their own PC, people purchase things with little to no research into what they're actually buying. They just don't want to have to learn about a whole new set of shit, that for the most part has no relevance in their day to day lives. I can understand that, to a degree, though I think as the price climbs, so should your desire to research it. So yeah, I actually think advertising in many cases, are the only information people get about these things.
