Qwertious

Personally I love the super short travel of the butterfly keys. Reliability however...

Yes there is definitely a premium on top of their products amen definitely there are a lot more value products out there but Apple doesn’t really fit into those product segments. However the SE/5C/Xr does change our views on the stance of the company especially with the “new” iPad. Apple does seem to be expanding from the top premium products to the lower middle high end range. Inferior spec in what regards? Smaller battery capacity in iPhones but they’ve always maintained great battery life Worse cellular services? That is true I can agree from what I’ve seen but I don’t have anything to compare off of but speed wise it is not an issue at all. I’m using my phone to watch videos, browse the web and not downloading big files. I understand for many people that may be an issue but for lots it is not an issue apart from reception which I can’t comment on. Inferior screen resolution? Yes, not wrong howver I’ve not heard anyone complain about pixely or unsharp displays apart from the net. Ease of use is subjective. I’ve had less request for help when I switched my family over. Dont know any better. Yes and no since switching my family to Apple. There has been no talk or mention of wanting to switch back. But yes people will obviously prefer what they have used before. They have no reasons to switch away which which goes with your last point. However apple does have many tech savvy people on their side even when they are marketed to your average Joe. Oh boy not one of these. Sheeps, fanboy,people 10k dummy iPhone?... no comments Worse resale value IPhone second hand market will still maintain a better resale value regardless if they release a i7 iPhone or some shit. Genius bar people yes they are not tech savy as always and experiences may differ. We got good consumer law in Australia so for us the genius bar does what it does well. All I need to do is tell them my issue then they fix it. I have yet to have a experience with a useless genius bar member before. Protection vs no protection? Almost most phones are now made with glass backs but yeah apple has does have some retarded pricing with replacements and it is up to the user if they would rather go naked or go with a case. It's no one's fault that a user wants a thick and heavy case, it's all on themselves. Not Apples fault people want to buy what they can’t afford. Useless argument Also not Apples fault users want to upgrade after a couple of years. Are you telling them to stop improving devices so people will use their own device longer? Also useless argument Apple Tax yea can agree but I’ve outlined why I still buy them. Dildo jack also yea that’s only cause judgemental people like you will probably give other users shit about it. But I do also understand 3.5mm jack debate and for lots of people I know that isn’t an issue and for a handful yes that’s why there are other alternatives.

Can agree with marketing but I do believe apple still does sell quality. Like how is an iPad a computer? Or desktop replacement like they say in their marketing materials but truth is that for many people an iPad is a desktop replacement. One example is my mother. Since getting her iPad 2 she has ditched her laptop entirely. People aren’t that dumb(well some people are as always and die hard fans) that they would continually dropping their $$$ to buy shit quality products eventually they will learn they it isn’t worth it

I'm not old enough to know what Apple were once but I know what they are now so it's hard for me to comment on them being industry leading in innovation or not. I don't agree with everything they do however that's why I buy what I agree with. Touch Bar was a bad idea in its implementation and that's why I have the non Touch Bar of the MBP, Type C I agreed with and I only have 2 dongles, 1 Type C to USB, HDMI, Power for a 1 cable solution and another Type C - USB which I've lost because I don't use it. The rest of my stuff I just purchased type C cables instead. Donglegate was overblown. No headphone jacks? I've had the Jaybird Bluebud X back from when MKBHD started recommending them since then I've got the X3s but the amount of times Ive needed to use an aux cord is less than the amount of times I've actually plugged a 3.5/lighting audio device to my iPhone. The removal of the headphone jack didn't change what I was doing so its hard to kick up a fuss about them. Anti-consumer practices? I get my stuff done at the apple store because its way easier than everything else. 3.5mm headphone jack. read above. Touchbar, read above as well please. Camera bump oh look a case perfectly fixes that issue nor was it an issue in the first place. Notch? Overblown, I don't play videos full screen because the content gets cropped even without the notch and it provides a good place to hold the phone. Not something I think about when using the device. Multiple phone releases in one year? I don't know what I can say about that. Nothing wrong the AW, in fact I am noticing more and more of them, I work in hospo and deal with lots of customers and I do notice if they are wearing a smart watch or what phone they use, in fact Apple Pay is the most used mobile payment method from my experience. I notice these as I have a interest in tech

Typical Apple haters with the same useless comments "Apple died when Steve Jobs did" yet if he was still alive we wouldn't have any devices in the phablet size. If Apple is so shit after his death why is Apple now the most valued company in the world? Why do you still many iPhones, Apple Watches & AirPods all in the wild? Must be because people are idiots and will buy Apple because so they show off. While haters and their PC is all RBG, water-cooled for looks & running the latest 9900K for that extra 5 fps. When you buy an "expensive" Apple product you get in return Something that will hold its value much better compared to Android/Window product. You're $1,500 iPhone will still be sold at $1,500 a few months later, resale value: $1,300. Yes there maybe retailer promos or discount but they will still maintain a premium price. Your Android? $1,000 few months later: $800 then your resale? $500 Unmatched product support. Got a defect or issue? Apple Store face to face no bullshit(here in Australia) and your product will be back in your hands on that day or a few days turn out. Rest of the market will have to get their phone shipped off to some repair HQ... fun. A premium device that is well built and does arguably looks really nice. People with their Moto G5 or their Nokia 7 will be like oh but my does those too but only cost 500 blah blah, Just like how a Toyota Corolla does but you're not going to shit on others when they are driving a BMW when they do the exact same thing

Proven to have undersized battery? Wut. My Xs Max has a great battery life. Obviously everyone would benefit from a larger battery but they aren't shit nor are "undersized"

Doesn’t take a fan boy to mistake the p30 as an iPhone X. I can see people getting confused on the streets

Rightfully so. An unrelated issue/defect should not void your original manufacturer warrant even if repaired via a third party repair shop...

LG G7 bootloops after Android update due to planned obsobence. Users face upgrading to solve issues /s

Probably due to a majority of Apple users aren’t that technical to upgrade their own drives hence propertiery connectors. Not because Apple users are retarded and cash loaded

I do agree that Mac gaming won’t be a thing anytime soon but let’s not forget the main topic here gaming Mac or not. You still have acesss to steam inhome streaming on macOS.

Oh wtf why? Apple isn't anywhere close to the desktop gaming market. I don't see why they would block the app on such grounds... Moonlight is even available on the store. This would only make sense if they had something planned. The Apple TV can't be compared as it's an iOS device on last gen SOCs. On the other hand. Parsec is even better as it doesn't need any configuration for steaming over the world wide Web.

The only thing exploding at Apple is their stock value ?

Yes that is true, there are extreme fanboyism on Apple's side but in general Apple does receive a lot more hate than they get credit. Some people go lengths to defend company x while shitting on company y and this was no exception.

Let’s not kid yourself here... this was likely not intentional and to believe that Apple would've gotten off on it without any backlash would be pushing it. Not sure how the screens would've been rendered non responsive from an update is possible but it likely would've been an unintended bug to whatever update they did.
