But no, I see your point. I don't hate Apple. I like their products(besides the Apple Watch and Beats). Only thing that disappoints me is the fact that their computers will never be suitable for gaming. If people were able to buy a card that installs Max OSX on your computer, I'd get it right away.
As for phones, I'm not going to be the annoying kid who says, "Go android! Screw apple!". A friend of mine has let me try out the newest iOS, and I must say, it is way better than iOS 6(the last iOS i used before leaving Apple). Android is great as well, especially with Google, Samsung, LG, and Huawei.
I understand the pricing though. Many computers that focus on attraction/thinness are absurdly high as well(compared to normal laptops). Perhaps the only reason I sometimes dislike Apple is because people treat their products as though they came from heaven. It's not perfect. Nothing is. As much as I love technology, I realize that everything is made for a purpose(besides cheap knockoffs). Apple comes with simplicity, lightness, and beauty. If I didn't invest in two computers, I probably would have gotten an ipad/mac for the go. If apple wanted gaming computers, they would have made gaming computers.
Then again, what I'm truly waiting for is the iPhone 8. Tenth anniversary of the iphone leaves me on my feet waiting to see what it'll be like. |
I'm honesly not lol I'm more passionate about the irrational hate against Apple than an irrational fan of Apple. I hate the way they're treating the Macbook Pro line and it made me cringe when they said that the iPad Pro was the future of personal computers.
The gaming issue disappoints me too, but I buy consoles to game on. I've never wanted to buy a computer for gaming, and I likely never will. I bought my first Macbook for college, and I'm buying my next one for music and video editing. If I could game on it too, that would be great, but the truth is that if it doesn't I don't care because I'm just going to buy a console anyway. I wish Apple would take gaming seriously, but that's more because I'm a gamer who likes their products and less because I have any need for it.
I guess I understand that sentiment. There's not really much to argue there. People do do that. But I do think that a lot of it is do to Apple products being a major target of sneer, and people always being on the defensive about them because a lot of that sneer is directed at the people who use the products, rather than the products themselves. That doesn't justify it, but it does mean that it isn't something that comes from nowhere. It's a conditioned response.
