What is Apple playng at?

5/22/2011

i love Apple products but Apple are to launch the new iPhone 5 without 3G is this stretching the brand too far? The icon shaped iPhone 3 was replaced by the plain ugly 4 which added a bit clearer screen, longer battery and forward facing video – but was this worth the £400+ upgrade – oh and the phone bit often lost signal? Are Apple becoming a monopoly not just in size but more importantly in behaviour? I work it out and let you know ;)

I've been struggling to understand the appeal of 'Apple' for sometime, as far as I can see it really is just an aspirational 'fashion' thing.

If they allowed themselves to be openly compatible with everyone elses technology then they would lose their USP. Aestheticly its beautiful kit, and obviously it does what it says on the tin, but I really despise the elitist culture that surrounds it. Plus, five years ago I didn't need to surround myself with a thousand different applications, so why do I need it now?

Yes John & don't you just hate it when people who have an Apple laptop brag "Once you have one of these, you wwill never go back to windows" Great if you have Apple laptop money. Clever advertising though making it seem like you cannot live without the i pad & as for phones, I think that the HTC range is better. Waiting for that desert island application though :)
