Definitely beats. Poor build quality/performance with high price. I like iOS because of the free apps. Especially the one that IGN sometimes give out. MacBook Air is really good because of the battery life. Apple products have good build quality but lack in app performance.
Mmm i wouldn't know which one, but probably they would be the samsung, LG, and apple ones, they all have had fantastic products from time to time, but the thing is, they also want to sell a heck a lot products. Then are they overpriced or overhyped? i don't know if everything they do now is, but i can say that i have tested some products with friends and family and then for example LG home appliances like microwave oven which fucked up in one year, refrigerator (so-so), TV which resulted to be utterly garbage, yet they have a lot of marketing in radio,TV and internet where i live. From Samsung i've seen some great cells phones in action: they have some fantastic cameras, the screen feels very good and its responsive, and they are sturdy and durable then we have tried some tablets and they have resulted horrendous all the good features from the cell phones aren't there, yet you see a lot of marketing in TV, from apple strangely there is less and less marketing here, just when they release something new you will see some ads on TV, then they also have a lot of variable quality products for example:
We had this imac DV G3 which was amazing, i now see people bitching about CPU speed and RAM and shit while there is a lot other factors that impact performance in a computer, i remember it clearly this mac ran at 350 MHz and had like 64 mb RAM whit mac os 9, while there where some pentium 4 running at like 2 GHz and had like 96 or 128 in RAM with windows 2000, then my mac and some PCs with AMD processor like with 1 GHz and less ram, still outmatched the pentium PCs with such superior technical specs, then now fast forward to when they have released this OS X lion system for my sister laptop, oh god it has a lot of things, and its more than "technically" superior than my laptop but with that system it runs like utter garbage. Also i don't like the iWatch and the ipod touch/iphone have gotten nothing special with the years in my opinion , but my father has and ipad and its amazing. Probably they all have bad overhyped and overpriced products, but then you have to test with friends and family and people you now to see which ones are truly hyped or which one they simply don't know how to use or are biased just because they like something.
The Tricorder. It never hit the market because it doesn't actually work, but three years ago it was proclaimed to revolutionize health care as we know it. The overhyping of Fable doesn't compare to the promises being made of the Tricorder. This thing was supposed to monitor cancer cells in real-time, among other things that are now being called "science fantasy".
| spemanig said: Ultrabooks do not look "as good" as Macbooks. Not even close. Having a metalic body doesn't constitute as "looking good." Those PCs don't look as good as Macs, either. Nei- actually, I'm starting to notice a patern on what you constitute as "good looking," so it's not worth debating taste. Needless to say, the amount of people who buy Apple products over their competitors, based partially on aesthetics, shows anecdotally what the consensus verdict is with regards to what looks better, regardless of what you or I think.

So what is "Good Looking" for you then? Is it a Steel looking Unibody that is thin with clean lines? That is the prmary aesthetic for Apple Macbooks, iPads, and Macs.
How is that design aesthetic any different from most modern UltraBooks? There are countless Ultrabooks with almost the exact same aestheics and others that have similar aspects but choose different colors to differentiate themselves. If you like the Apple Look there are many systems that copy it.
| spemanig said: No layman cares if Android phone 12 outperforms an iPhone 6S. That technical difference holds degligable real-world benefit to 99% of consumers. No offense, but I absolutely do not for a second buy your anecdote that "over 1/3 of all Apple devices failed." Not when my anecdote says that maybe one or two Apple devices in have failed through no fault of the owner in the years since the ipod came out from. The absolute worse manufacturing issue I've ever seen to a wide spread degree was like 7 years ago when iPhones had the sour reputation of cracking their screens easily when dropped. I've owned my current iPhone for over two years and dropped it hundreds of times. Not a scratch, so that issue has long since been fixed. Apple products are popular because they are good, and in many ways better, than the competition. Especially for music production when it comes to Macs, and especially especially if you're just using them for basic computer use, which is what most people are using it for. |
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.
I love my iPhone. That's all i've had since the iPhone 3G. I love the simplicity of it, as i don't use most of the features that smart phones have, but i love the free iMessaging between other Apple devices.
The things that i feel are most overhyped are Harry Potter, Vaping, Beats Audio Products, and the Xbox brand.

I very much agree with you on the subject of Harry Potter. It is a decent movie series and just an OKAY book series. There are much better out there and is just another example of hype building around a mediocre subject making it undeservedly popular.
You wanna know what else is vastly overhyped?
The Internet. That damned thing will never catch on. Only the fools of the world use it.
Pop Music in general is probably the most overyhyped -non deserving- thing ever.
Other stuff that comes to mind that I personally (opinion) find nondeserving of their hype...
Apple products in general.
Jordans
Ray Bans
Smart Watches in general
Zombie films
Tim Burton films
Avatar
Evangelion and Death Note.
And League of Legends

lol, to that.

Last Innovation Apple made was 3D touch on the iPhone 6s. Before their Innovation was Touch ID with iPhone 5s, every modern smartphone has copied that feature. Not to forget about Dual LED-Flash, 64 bit Arm architecture, Voice Assistent, None plastic phones and so much more.
the playstation 4 i believe
