[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8311828, member: 560148"] Some people LIKE paying for a premium.. If he'll pay $900 for a DD9515, he will pay for an apple smartphone. Sheeple. Apple is still cool and trendy for the moment, sadly the kids born near 2000 don't know it's ever been any different. Give it another 10-15 years and I'm sure it'll cycle back around and people will realize they are paying obnoxious money for ease of use, aestetics, mediocre to good performance at best, since they are the only one using their platform. Apple smartphones aren't the highest quality from what I've seen of my friends. Most of them have had issues with their iphones at one time or another. I ran my HTC inspire for over 4 years no issues until I decided to finally upgrade to my HTC One m8. I did think the iphones had a better OS than my old android, however now that I have a newer droid, mine is just as smooth or smoother to operate. You want a "mac" for a cheap price, go buy an actaul PC, partition the driveand put on any one of literally hundres styles of Ubuntu. Boom you get a PC and a "mac" all in one. You get an OS similar to a MAC, but tailored to whatever you'll use the PC for, for free. Plus you can actually upgrade the PC, several times if you want and still be cheaper than the mac when your done.. However, this requires actual knowledge and not throwing a checkbook at the problem. MAC has NEVER sold revolutionary products, they still don't. They sell mostly stylish easy to use products. A smart consumer see's right through it, but those are few and far between. [/QUOTE]
