Bit of a hyperbole to suggest that theres nothing between 10 and 600 dollars, or that any reasonable person really thinks like that.
Literally, some guy before my post said he has $10 headphones, so he won't be buying one of these.
Like man, when people who spend money on liquid cooling for builds that don't need them are telling you something is overpriced, I don't know what more you want!
Isn't that the whole problem? People overpaying for expensive stuff complaining about other people apparently overpaying for expensive stuff...
If anything is cheap, it's that shot... implying that people can't question the value of things they've never bought or used is silly.
How is that silly? If you never used or experienced something, how can you so confidently accuse it of being bad and insult others who use it while you're at it? This is the whole problem with these types of people. Saying "I would never buy it" and in the same breath "It's shit". Maybe, just maybe you don't have the whole picture then? That's the whole damn reason why Amazon has to verify your purchase before you can leave a bad review for a product. Trying to leave a bad review
before that is what is silly here. And to add to that, most people that actually buy from Apple (actually own their products) have a way better opinion of them.
Sometimes people simply don't buy things because they don't want to buy it or don't think it's worth it. Trying to make it about income is a low blow, and it's not accurate.
Where did I make it about income? I clearly said it's people who say "I wouldn't buy from Apple" instead of "I couldn't afford that" and who shit on them in the same breath.
That is the problem.
They are a luxury brand. In tech, they are essentially THE luxury brand. You pay the markup for that name. And yes, the product is usually good. But the value gets eaten into for prestige.
Apple is far from luxury. If you're calling them luxury with what they charge, that just speaks for their products. Luxury tech exists on the Rolex or Patek Philippe side of things. Or even the rare supercars that cost millions. Luxury implies rarity, whereas Apple products are widely available and you don't have to be super-rich to get them like with actual luxury... You can even be dirt poor compared to the Jeff Bezoses of the world and still afford some Apple products. There are even people 1000000 levels below Jeff Bezos that can afford Apple. So no, Apple doesn't even remotely constitute luxury by any of those metrics. As I said in my first post, it looks and feels
like luxury without actually being luxury in the real sense of the word.
It's interesting how most people come to poke fun at Apple itself, or at the product, but you guys have to come in and make it personal. I see you
Personal? Way to go cry about something I didn't even do. The people who imply that only stupid people buy Apple products are making it personal. I'm just describing their behavior. All they do is trash on things they know nothing about to make themselves look better than those "rich idiots".
When I got my first MacBook late in life I was very surprised by how good it felt to use. I was especially amazed by the build quality. I later bought an iPad and I wasn't disappointed at all, again. I still think every last penny for that iPad was worth it, if not for the MacBook. But with the new MacBooks without Intel, I will definitely get one of the next MacBook Pros again for sure. Look, I started building my own PCs in the 90s since I was 12. I use Linux exclusively for about 5 years on the desktop side. I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination, that's why I always found ways to build everything I have from scratch as much as possible. But with Apple, as I said, it just feels like luxury
without actually being a complete ripoff. I would say that's the biggest strength of Apple. People like to have some luxury in their lives, even if it just feels like it. But for some people that's like a sin, I guess. Maybe they just like to deprive themselves and others?
