Attack of Samsung gadget spam

Ponder this.

If Apple products are so great, why do people camp out for days to replace them?

Why buy a car if PTSc works?

That is a most horrible comparison.

To use the PTSC trend of thought, it would be akin to you camping outside the PTSC terminal to buy a bus pass to the new Deluxe bus, which is only a slight upgrade from the current bus you use and praise.

*yawn*


Trying to sound educated yet missing what's in front of you

Is the correct answer "cause it's our money/time/life and we can do whatever we want with it"?

Do you buy the new iphone as soon as it becomes available to you?

as soon as I can afford to have it

that means both money and the necessity to have the device.

the value of any item to the buyer depends on what they can gain from it. A 5S may be worth getting sooner for an iPhone 4 owner than it is for an iPhone 5 owner.

I'm not saying no.. but you have to admit it's kinda insane that someone would go and wait outside a store for 8 hours+ in the cold when they could sit in the comfort of their home, order it online and get it in maybe 1-2 weeks.

Same with android. If you have aGS3, why bother looking at the GS4?

those of us who study the science of getting consumers to give us their money eagerly call them 'early adopters'

[Morpheus]

^^Easy for us to say. But some people obsessed with having the latest model......to flaunt and be "in de game".

a testament to the brand equity that Apple has built for itself by selling products consumers love and return to buy.

[MG Man]

kinda like still buying a Mercedes even though Hyundai has a kickass V8 premium luxury sedan at a fraction of the cost?
(comes with an iPad for an owners manual too eh)

You think this is 100% quality and has nothing to do with the "in crowd"?

if the majority of the sales were due to something so trivial, then Apple would not be able to sustain sales for 5 years. Also it's not just iPhones. Mac, iMac, MacBook sales have continuously increased as well as sales of iPads, AppleTV, iTunes and AppStore and even Apple wifi routers have constantly increased over the years.

it's the packaging, the quality of build materials, the way the hardware works with the software. That's what causes people to buy 5 million iPhones in one weekend one year and then 9 million in one weekend the next year.

Brands like Bose or Beat by Dre may be "in crowd" items, but they do not experience those kinds of sale figures, far less for increase year after year.

[MG Man]

Bose is 'in-crowd' speakers?
I thought they were a lifestyle brand for people who wanted decent sound without a bunch of speakers :-/

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ ummm nope. Also, define decent.

Actually, while in NY last year it took me quite awhile to get an iPad mini even months after the release date. Went to places such as best buy and the apple store and everything was sold out even online as well. Although i didn't stand up in a line for 8hrs in the cold. I spent more than two consecutive days in total in the cold searching for a store that had an iPad mini.

Went to a concert monday night, people at the gate were using iPads to check in people on the guest list.

Trinidad movin up.

Mac was always superior to Windows, yet apple was always behind.
Windows became industry standard for pcs. Why get another unless a specific task is needed.
Now the iphone is the same for mobiles. Why bother learn another os.
Of course there are those who see quality, but I think the quality has little to do with the success. Apple made a couple mistakes back then and learned well.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ no need for blanket statements. It wasn't always superior. It is arguable that it is even superior now.

What is happening now though is that many consumers who would usually buy a PC laptop are venturing at buying a MacBook Air or Pro and are pleased to see how well their new laptop integrates seamlessly with their iPhone and iPad.

The Apple eco system at work. It is also one of the bigger reasons Microsoft bought Nokia.

If apple makes an iphone with ip67 certification then i wouldnt mind stuntin with it. But until that time android for it

Never.



As much as I'd love that, never, market is to niche, respect to Samsung on that front but they dumped down an ok phone into an ip67 certified case and called it an s4

Samsung had to sacrifice features on the S4 Active in order for it to get that IP67 dust and waterproof to 1 Meter rating - the camera was reduced from a 13mp to a 8mp and the screen from Super AMOLED to regular TFT which is below what most smartphones are coming with these days.

I don't think Apple will dumb down a new device like that. Retina and the camera are big marketing points on the iPhone since the iPhone 4. I think Apple would wait until they can make the phone IP67 and still keep the specs right up. That's also the reason there is no SIRI on the iPad 2 or why there is no Retina on an iMac or MacBook Air - it can be done, but it may run slow or not run as smooth as people have come to expect from Apple - and that's been a long running strategy and mindset of Apple for a long time.

Dais like how they didn't have a video recorder in the 1g?

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ perhaps. I had a "1g" and used a jailbroken video recorder app and it was more or less painful when you compare it to the ease of use of the rest of the phone.
