Women and hipsters do every single thing their tv tells them. Microsoft doesnt even have to run ads. Apple runs deceptive ads saying they are better than PCs and look cooler

Microsoft runs tons of ads......Samsung runs tons of ads.....Sony runs tons of ads.....As do literally all manufacturers of virtually every product in existence.

Lmao.. these topics still around LTT? It goes without saying people are more obsessed about how others spend their money because they're unhappy how they spent theirs.

Wow! You just described me. I am always obsessed with getting the best value. So I cheap out on stuff and it always ends up hurting me. For example, budget headphones from brands like Superlux or KZ won't ever outperform headphones that cost more. And that's despite all of the hype and whatever people say. Just get something good and use it until it falls apart.

At the end of the day I LOVE competition and choice.  I have my preferences like anybody else, but I enjoy the fact that there are so many options out there to suit anybody's desires!  I mean, I prefer Android phones but hate Android tablets, so I have a Note 8 and a couple of iPads.  I thoroughly enjoy both company's products.  I'm also personally a Windows guy, but I've always adored the design and quality of iMacs and would love to get one someday as a secondary PC just to play around with MacOS and enjoy a different experience.  There's no need to swear off any brand if they offer a quality product that you like.

People with more sense than money ... people that realise that around half of the cost is basically a badge

Yeah of course I know the production cost for an Iphone maybe around $100-$150, but that's business, people don't sell products that not gaining big profit right?

It's a status symbol. Plain and simple.

Of course not however there becomes a point where it's stupid if you look at Samsung devices the profit they are making per unit will be less than Apple however beacuse their products are "cheaper" they will in theory sell more
