Is Apple Being Ignorant Or Arrogant? by Darlinx01(m): 8:06pm On Jun 13, 2020
The billion dollar company apple known for their "premium" iphones have been releasing new phones with lil or no new innovation and yet selling for absurd prices. They never listen to their customers all in d name of bein different. Iphone 12 leaks shows they finally accepted to borrow the refresh rate idea from their supposed mediocre android brother and made a perfect "pro-motion" marketing gimmick. Neither have they decided to give us a type c port which is miles better dan d stupid lightning port or include a touch id support or at d very least change dat outdated design. No they cant downgrade to android's level. They'll rather give u a new processor and d same body with a new camera setup den slam a high price to it and give u to buy. Besides if u want class, supposed ios beauty and security u have no other choice but dem. RUBBISH. Some ppl have started selling der lands to buy der next overpriced device. Its time we make dis ppl undastand der nt gods.

da simple truth is that most persons that buy expensive phones buy them for da basic reason of joining da cliq of those that use that phone.
a lot of users don't know da basic specs of their phones. u will only hear: da camera is sharp, da battery dey last.

cool


why waste money researching new ideas to impress all ready loyal customers? they don't even change their casing too much anymore not to talk of adding top techs

an IPhone cost them far less to produce in china, US makes the IOS with tax going to US and makes iphone far more across the world. while other phone makers hustle like mad... bill gates that should had focused more on technology is hell bent on health that he is clueless about, google wouldn't support Huawei so we are left at the mercy of the yankees

It's very funny when u say Apple are borrowing the refresh rate idea from Android. Like do u even know what u are saying? Higher refresh rate is not a new tech, it's been available for many years. iPad pro (made by Apple) had 120hz refresh rate since 2017. What makes u think they cannot bring that to their iPhones?

Going by ur logic, should we now say Samsung are being ignorant or arrogant not to put 120hz refresh rate in their galaxy tab S? Or Samsung have finally decided to borrow idea from apple as they plan to include 120hz refresh rate in their upcoming galaxy tab S7? Something that has been on the iPad pro since 2017.

They ignore the most important needs of their customers, using the type c, touch id, changin design etc. Whether they've used d refresh rate or nt its nt my problem. Dey should try to listen to der customers and stop being arrogant or they would be losing out

Now u have started to contradict urself. In ur first post u mentioned higher refresh rate, but after I let u understand they already have that in 2017 iPad pro now u are saying refresh rate is not ur problem. Now u bring USB type c, well let me burst ur bubbles. iPad pro also has USB type c. That they chose to keep using lightning port for their iPhones is not a disadvantage. Lighting port has been around before type c, when Android phones were still using the old micro usb.

Dude did u just mention touch id? Isn't that a phrase made popular by Apple? Apple started using touch ID since iPhone 5s and switched to face id with the iPhone x. Why do u mention touch id like it's a new tech? Maybe we should tackle Android for not using advanced face id like Apple is doing.

Go and read about leyman brothers, IBM, Nitendo, Sega and co, u will realise that their is nothing like too big to fail.

As a tech company once u stops innovation and u rely on existing core and cliqs to drives sales, u are already failing. The next big thing will sweep u away, Apple knows this and they are hoping for the next big deal to come from them unfortunately the next big deal in telecome may likely not come from American, letalone apple inc unless Trump wins the technological battle.

This decade will determines alot of things, by the end of 2020 decade lets wait and see if apple will come up with next new thing or they will be swept under carpet with huge fund at their disposal like HTC, RIM, Sega etc.

Sega tried the dream cast, but it was too late

Apple is loved not because of innovation or design.
It sells because of its premium pricing strategy and luxurious outlook.

An Iphone that isn't expensive is not an iPhone.

The appeal of apple lies in its exclusivity, and their great marketing techniques that made people to perceive it as classy. In terms of tech and giving consumers what they desire, apple is failing woefully in that regards. Recycling and rebranding old technologies are not innovation.

In the last fiscal year, Samsung and Huawei sales have been on a steady increase, while apple is on a free fall and recording lesser sales each quarter. With the way apple is going, I imagine its faith to be like the formally revered blackberry, that has no sophistication like its symbian brothers, but its value relying on the fact that it gives the user a feeling of using an exclusive classy product. And with a ridiculous price that doesn't justify its cost, apple is in for a long struggle.

What u all dont understand is that most iPhone users dont care about all these new tech.. they just like to distinguish themselves from the rest.. also apple is very very innovative( most of tech you are just seeing in 2020, has been on iPad for long time) , but they choose to slow down the tech , probably not to run out of idea or to keep on milking their loyal customers..
iPhone sets trending, they make tech popular too..



And see ehn, when you are big, you are big.. only samsung can compete with apple both in tech and reliability(apple is miles ahead in reliabilitythough).. apple is the most secure too..
And MOST people that complained are people who cant afford it.. genuine iphone users no dey complain



Dont forget a new iphone 7+ of 2016 would go same price as most android flagship of 2020( and most people from this parts of the world would still prefer older iPhones to newer android)
iPhones sells more than any brand in the world ( in flagship category).. apple only has flagship and super-duper flagship.
Apple is not a child's play,
Selling 100 apple is more profitable than 250 android flagship.

Apple has second hand value, most android loses value after 3 months of release.
Most android CEOs use iphone e.g Huawei ceo( remember when he Twitted with iphone year ago)..

Apple is the biggest brand in the world, so they are not going down anytime soon.. forget IBM,Nokia and other tech companies that had fold-up..forget that popular saying that what goes up will come down grin remember apple represents USA anywhere,, me and you know say america would do anything to maintain her position in the world..apple net worth is almost 5% of america GDP.. meaning apple is 2.2 time worths more than naija economy.. apple is richer than all smart phone companies in the world put together..


Apple is the only brand I no dey see its adverts up and down like other.. garri no need adverts, people will still queue, kill, and bankrupt to own a latest iPhone. Virginity go lose cos of iphone grin

Wrong, Apple is preffered cuz of level of security it offers. If this hackers continue with their bombardment they will lose fragment of their trust.

Unfortunately the bolded is what killed most giants companies, RIM was in the same position 15yrs ago until the next big thing swept them away, Nitendo also had similar edge over Sega until the next big thing inform of Sony swept them away, infact it was Sega that brought Sony into computer game in other to smash Nitendo but Sega became arrogant and dump Sony at joint press breifing. It was this humiliation that empowered Sony and Sony came and smashed both of them. As at the time Sega was pushed out of market, they had $4billion cash at hand in 1996, just like apple of today that has several billions to play around.

No matter what you sell and how good ur marketing is, innovation still rules, if cocacola still innovates in disguise who is apple to stagnat. Even Certified Luxury comapnies such as BUGATI, FERRARI, ROLLS ROYCE, MASERATI, LARMBOGINI ETC all innovates, infact their innovation set tones for future car designs for decades. What u see in those cars is what other manufactures copies 10years later.

Minus the socially trendy awareness, most users don't really care about privacy.

Even come to think of it, most data collected from devices are anonymous, to help in big data analysis.
The most violating privacy issue is collecting data for 'Recommendation services'

Several data breaches have occurred within Apple, one of such was the hacking of its iCloud service, leading to the leak of nudes of various US celebrities; this was 'the Fappening'
