So what is "Good Looking" for you then? --- If the layperson does not care about which phone outperforms the other than why is it a major selling for Apple. E.g.: The A6 is 150% faster than the A5. It is up to you if you believe my "anecdote" I guess. I was merely speaking from experience when supporting thousands of iPhones that my former companies sales force used day and night. Maybe it was just their usage level. Using a phone for 10+ hours during your day for emails, calls, texts, and Internet is most likley much most peoples usage. But in this case the failure rate of the iPhones was very high and much higher than other devices I supported (except BB). This includes Samsung, LG, Motorola, and Nokia devices. The issues I am referring to with iphones was device failure, not droppage, I rule that out because no device can handle drops on concrete regularly. I disagree strongly that Apple products are Way better than the competition. They don't really compare to the competion in features, quality, or power. Since you bring up Music production I will as a strenght of OSX I will take a breif moment to dispell that. There is honestly nothing that you can do on OSX that you cannot do on a PC. The idea that OSX is better for content creation is a modern myth that continues to propogate its self. When MACs were originally adopted for content creation OSX did not even exist, however, at this time the MAC was better choice for content creation for it's IMB PowerPC CPU. This CPU was better at working with long chain non-parallel processing than X86 processers and also had the benefit of being 64-bit first. It carries the same advantages that a GPU carries over a CPU for image rendering. Ever since Apple dropped IBM and started using Intel it lost this advantage. Even though the advantage was lost the idea that it is better for content creation still went on. |
Look, I'm not here to get into a petty Apple vs. the world argument with you. Apple products have advantages and disadvantages, just like PC, Windows, and Android do. My only point here is that Apple products, have pros that make them absolutely worth their asking price, and people don't buy them because they're ignorant - they buy them because the products are good. They're reliable, have good build quality, have a great ecosystem, have a level of hardware-software optimization that no one else has, and they look good. If that's difficult for you to understand, that's your issue. Apple is who they are for a reason, and that reason isn't idiot consumers - it's good product that's priced appropriately for its value, clearly, because people keep buying them and liking what they buy after they buy them. I used PCs for over 18 years of my life, and then I got a Macbook and the difference to me was incomparable. I didn't get an iPhone until 2014, and I liked it better than any other phone I'd used by a landslide. I wasn't brainwashed into liking Apple. I used it and I thought they were better, and so do the millions of other people who made Apple what they are today.
