People fawn over his company’s products, even my namesake (Rush Limbaugh) who’s been an Apple fan long before I heard of or even thought about using their products.
They are good products, but also expensive ones. Taxpayer dollars in many school districts have been spent on Apple gear.
Many of us have said it before:
I suspect a majority of Apple users (computers at least) became that because they could not deal with the confusing demands of DOS back when.
Limbaugh strikes me as one of those, likely one that never took a math course beyond HS algebra, if that. Anyone ask him if he ever changed a sparkplug in his life?
They are no more expensive than products of the same level in the competition and are often less expensive. For example the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S5 when released was $200 more expensive than the unlocked iPhone 6S when it was released. . . at each level of comparison. Similarly if you compare like for like with a top end Windows laptop and an Apple laptop, they are competitive in price. . . same for all-in-one computers.
They are good products, but also expensive ones.
The more expensive meme is a little bit untruthful. Sort of like an Escalade is more expensive than a Yugo. If you compare the Flagship offerings from Samsung some are more expensive than the current best model of iPhone, same goes for Computers if you compare features. Your perception is fueled by the cheap commodity products that many PC manufactures offer, Apple does not compete in the commodity market.
Apple gear lasts a lot longer than the commodity PC products and at less total cost of ownership. Poor implementation of technology is where the waste takes place. The truth is technology that exists today could totally replace the expensive school building and actually place the very best teacher in the world in every home at a fraction of the cost of todays schools. Of course they might have to give up football which will never happen.
