Look it up?
Don’t need to really....I have lived it..
It’s interesting that you consider so many inovations as being inventions, when they are really recombined innovations by a variety of people and firms, many of which apple has either bought or simply purchased the patents. But in many cases they sorta skipped that part...
Apple at it’s core, (no pun intended) is a fantastic marketing company. They do it very well even if they fell on their butts for a while after Jobs was ushered out..
But when he came back re=energized they took off like a rocket.
But it’s marketing. Recombinant innovations, and what really sets Apple apart from the rest of the competition is their large “cadre” of fan boys, as we call them.
To them, the latest device from Apple is not really a price or feature consideration...It is a aspirational necessity of life.
I can safely say that I cannot think of a single example that compares to what Apple has created in their loyal fan base.
Having said that, I am not now nor shall I ever be a loyal fan of any marketing company. My loyalties may be evident for a local business perhaps as a sign of support for the local economy but that is as far as it goes.. Otherwise, I buy the best available for the best price, and that pretty much eliminates apple from most considerations for me..
I really don’t care what you do with your money. The only reason I post on your threads is to laugh at the defensive responses that go far beyond a response and delve into the psychosis of being a apple fan boy..
Where you're mistaken is right there: you can't serious think that Apple has become the most valuable company in the world, pushing $700 billion, purely on hyping a "cadre" of fanboys. . . And succeeding in selling 1.3 BILLION iOS devices at now approximately 275 million per year in less than eight years, and over 100,000,000 Apple Macs at the rate of 26 million per year and consistently growing rates based purely on marketing hype to essentially the same fanboys? All while taking home 92% of the cellular phone market profits, 50% of the personal computer market profits, and 75% of the tablet market profits!
You're delusional if you think people continually buying Apple products after having personal experience with them, purely because of superior "marketing." That many people are not as deluded as you seem to be. . . they believe their own experiences with multiple platforms, not what they've been told, as you do.
