Why do you buy Apple products?

Ehh I feel like you're right about the whole clout thing. Obviously whatever is in will have more influence and attention.

But I also think it's what is new. Their marketing is absolutely astounding.. that's why you don't hear much about Androids on the media (especially here in the US), you just hear lots and lots about Apple. There's also Apple TV now, and Apple Music, which just expands the brand a lot more too.

The sleek and aesthetically pleasing build for pretty much all of their products is also a rlly big deciding factor.

I think for me I really enjoy the quality of their products. They've lasted me the longest compared to any Android phone or Windows laptop I've ever owned.

 

I don't get you people who use tools for clout. Why not use your money and get an actual better product? Who cares about how the phone looks...

Feels like you guys are falling right into the trap that companies set you instead of being a thoughtful consumer. If you like their software and you wanna pay for that, sure. But aesthetics? Clout?... Bad habits in my opinion.

 

how clout chasers think people react to when they walk in with their overly expensive shit

 

With two iPhones and an iPad... I have no idea, I’ve been thinking of switching to Samsung when my phone contract expires because (my opinion) Apple isn’t really that good with Data/WiFi and it’s literally impossible to connect anywhere else. I had issues with connecting with data back in Scotland for my holiday and it was just really annoying. I’m not sure if Samsung has the same issue but I know it’s a lot better than Apple products.

 

uhhhh


Camera (in other apps like snapchat/tiktok)
Software is more user friendly
iMessage
emojis
facetime
apps are more optimized
doesnt feel like shit

 

i dont have a choice LOL

i've had my imac for literally like 6 years and i can't afford to get a better one LUL

 

I like Apple devices because they remain usable for so long. For example the last pc laptop I bought was a Voodoo for over $3k, that I tossed into the dumpster after less than 15 months, but I’m still using my 2010 MacBook Pro as it still looks and performs as it did when I bought it. And that’ll improve when I (finally) give it an SSD later this year. I still use my 80gb iPod Classic, I’ll continue using my iPhone 6s Plus for at least a few more years. They all cost a little more than the cheap alternatives, but save me considerable cash over time.

 

i wanted to switch to a samsung note for a while but upgrading to a newer phone from them and reselling them my old phone is cheaper for me
also because i have 256 gb on my phone and now i cant fucking get a new one it's been 3 years i doomed myself
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Why do I feel like I started a war._.

 

this war has been going on since Apple was founded.

 

I wanna add that whenever I had android phones the battery in them would always inflate and become a big weird thing and then the phone would eventually give up on me. They never lasted me long enough for me to consider them a great product. I also think their battery life is ass compared to the iPhone, but I hear otherwise so maybe I just had a shitty android.

 

this, you must be a really fuckin boring person if you need an iphone (or physical possessions of any kind) to draw attention to yourself
you're not a better person if you have an iphone Lol it should def not be the only reason you get the phone

either way i don't get apple products because it's not compatible with shit, it feels clumsy to use and it's way too expensive for what it is. i feel like i can get something that is much better and more practical to use (and that will probably even last longer) than apple for the same price

 

i prefer the ui and emojis that’s literally it

 

The only Apple device that I have is a Macbook. Basically for me, it boiled down to a few things.

1. Build quality. Even expensive Windows laptops tend to be really plasticky. I prefer to have something that's a lot more solid and can take a few bumps occasionally.
   
2. Performance and battery life. When I was buying a laptop, I was either buying a new Windows laptop, or a older Macbook, and for the same price as the MB I would get worse battery life and worse performance.
3. Longevity. Macbooks are pretty unique in that they actually last a long time, whereas all of the Windows laptops I've had tend to become unbearably slow after a few years. So either I could buy a ~$800 MB Pro from 2015, take a risk with a Windows laptop or spend a lot more for a new one or a good quality second hand one.
4. Software. Windows is terrible on mobile devices imo. It seems to slowly start getting less performant over time (I've had this happen on cheap laptops, as well as expensive gaming laptops). macOS is way more polished, doesn't slow down, and offers just as much latitude for customisation and tinkering (plus its Unix based, so that's a bonus). Plus it doesn't come with any bloatware.
