To be fair, apples done those things and we said the same thing about those moves. And now look at em.
Except Samsung has competition. Apple has blind loyalty.
I need to replace my Samsung phone soon and I'm looking at Motorola. An Apple user just says I need to replace my phone soon. Then they get to spend an arm and a leg to do it.
I agree. However, I also think that vendor lock-in is the true culprit. The strange thing about Apple users is that they get locked into that platform and there is little escape, but instead of feeling resentful, they swell with pride instead. Apple user = proud capative.
Jesus Christ, let people enjoy things.
