I was rather expecting something 'more'. Not sure what exactly, maybe a surprise of sorts. Weird...
Of course. If they stuck the apple logo on a brick. They would sell millions
There are 2 ways of Marketing .
1. Research the market and customers and then fulfil their needs.
2. Just make something and convince the "numpties" it is what they want.
Samsung, HTC etc go down route 1. ...Apple is firmly in the route 2. camp, and if anything they must be complemented on their superb brainwashing of the general man in the street ,the non technical customer.
She didn't understand the question.I wonder what SIRI thinks about this?
Absolutely! Its all marketing really. Like the people who think Bose is the best Audio and Beats is the best headsets money can buy. If the majority of people did a little research, they would see other alternatives rather than just one side. I must say that lately a lot of people have been waking up and realizing how Apples eco-system is restrictive. Apple will always have a place for the person who is too busy to learn anything about their device and/or not technically inclined.
Funny how this describes exactly what happened to RIM several years ago. They used to be the king but they let it go to their heads that they could never be beat no matter what and then something new came along and actually did something new and now the king has been dethroned. Apple did it to BB, and now Android is doing it to Apple.Very true, and that is the point. If companies do not try to change eventually the customers figure it out. How many people do you see saying the 5 is a let down and are looking at other options. The difference is people are starting to become more educated in regards to phones and are seeing that Apple is no longer the leader in all categories like they once were.
They need to be careful as those faithful buyers wont stick around forever unless the products continue to be top of class...I think the iphone 5 has taken a step backwards in that regard and in 6 months people will be wondering what Apple was thinking.
I would feel like a village idiot standing in line for this
