    I dont really think it speaks for the strength of the Apple brand, rather, how many fan-boys they have that buy literally a rock with an apple logo on it for $10k. Knowing well they cant use it anywhere except with apple products.

        Yeah “Apple isn’t a strong brand” is an absolutely insane take.

        They are one of the strongest brands in human history lol

      Also a lot of people like being “the first”. Especially with products that might be successful. Currently Apple has a decent reputation in being “the first” with their adaption of new tech. They made the smartphone big, the tablet and the smartwatch (they even specifically made gold ones for these early adopters). All “meh products” before their version. Now people want to be the first with “the next successful tech”. …. And you are going to love it.

      It al comes down to emotion really.

      Can’t wait for the first music video clip with a famous person wearing the thing. (I actually can wait).

        The last real inovation they added was the tablet change my mind. The others are just pr gags or just revisioning the last thing for the 15th time.

          Al of them were beter implementations of existing tech, even the tablet. (With beter I mean they changed the market for said tech in their point of time, more accessibility, user friendly etc).

            But decrease repairability, (software) freedom. And then the price for that. In the early day, the cheap things were locked down for only be usable on with specific other products, now its the opposite, the more it cost, the more locked down and less products work (well) with it.
