I am an economist. Apple sells every single product they make to willing buyers around the world. Other manufacturers make similar products in the same tier as Apple products that cost the same, often more, than Apple products with similar attributes. When trying to match Apple products such as computers, which has frequently been done here on FreeRepublic, providing the same level of components, hardware, and software, as are already included with an Apple product, one frequently finds that the Apple product is not only competitive with the build price of the name brand competitor's product, but is frequently less expensive.
In the phone arena, Apple's smartphone is LESS expensive than Samsung's when they first release their newest models. . . but Samsung, because of rapidly dropping sales, always rapidly drops their prices within two months to prop up sales. Apple never reduces prices because their sales never drop so drastically for their top tier flagship phones until the next model is due. Apple has never felt the need to sponsor Buy one, get one (or two, or three, or even four) for free programs to move their iPhones, not once in nine years and over 1 billion sales of iPhone sales to willing buyers around the world.
All of this means that Apple is not overcharging for their products because the public is willing to pay the prices they are being offered for. That is the way any correct price is determined in economics in a competitive market.
Nah, that's now Government Motors since Obambi took them over. I drive a Lincoln.
The Apple iMacs are made in Elk Grove, California. The Apple Mac Pros are made in Austin, Texas. All Macs and iOS devices are designed in California. Many of the parts of iPads and iPhones are made in the USA but they are assembled by a Taiwanese (Free Chinese) company, in China. . . but so are all the rest.
Well, this is either ignorance or lying, don't know which.
MS sells the Surface tablet, which some claim is a computer.
I have upgraded memory and hard drives in my Apple computers for prices comparable to the same upgrades in similar Windows boxes.
Yep, Apple is liberal. So is Microsoft. Your point?
Why do you think that Apple customers only by Apple because they think it makes them look cool?
My main Computers are two 2009 Mac Pros they run 24/7. I have the new iPad Pro just for the heck of it but I also have the first iPad that still does everything it did when I bought it.
Every year or so I purchase a new Parallels and install Windows and Linux, I occasionally fire them up and stare at them for a while and decide there is nothing I care to do that I am not already doing on my Mac.
There may be thousands of things that I could do with Windows that I can't do on my Mac but apparently I don't have a need for them.
To be truthful there are a couple things I would like to have that do not work with OS X but not enough to abandon Mac OS.
Most Mac users do not want to be cool, they just want a computer that will run reliably for many years, and they do.
On the contrary, the SJWs are the Apple Hate Brigade members in the Apple Threads, the ones who just have to educate the Apple users how wrong they are to be Apple users. Like you.
Why is that a problem? You actually have to hold that power button for ten second for it to actually force a power off. . . or it merely brings up a requestor to ask you what you want to do. If you hit it accidentally, cancel it.
About 80% of your post is based on misguided information.
The suicides, as you've been told before, were FAR BELOW the suicide rate for similar age cohorts of AMERICAN COLLEGE AGE, 18 to 32 year old students at Ivy League Universities. . . and it would be the envy of any American factory with similar numbers of workers. You keep lying about it. When you've been told the truth and repeat the lie, that makes YOU the liar.
Apple works fine with third party peripherals such as printers, scanners, etc. In fact they configure far easier and quicker on an Apple than on a PC.

How can you say that when you have no idea what he uses a computer for?
Like I said.
China.
China is taking over the world, and all of our companies are sold out to them.
All of them.
And typically you reply without even noticing the point that it is satire.
It’s not cheaper. I never bought a second iPhone after my first slowed down too much to be useful after a software upgrade 1.5 years into the phone. They’re designed to be useless after 2 years of service. My Samsung on the other hand is still going strong 4 years later. I need extra storage on my phone for work which Samsung allows with a flash memory card. Over all value goes to Samsung.
What you’re mostly paying for with your iPhone is advertising.
“On the contrary, the SJWs are the Apple Hate Brigade members in the Apple Threads, the ones who just have to educate the Apple users how wrong they are to be Apple users. Like you. “
Really?
You seriously think I’m trying to actually direct you to use some other brand? Like why the hell should I care? Does it look like my name is Swordmaker? The only two groups on this site that are pathetically obsessed with trying to get people to use some other platform are Apple and Linux people.
The only thing I point out are your exaggerations, contradictions, and blatant hypocrisies (still waiting for all of the supposed posts I make bashing Apple’s products that you claim I make), which are a hallmark of most Apple fanatics who seem to be wholly unable to justify the use of any of that company’s stuff outside of claiming that it’s because everything else is almost wholly unusable, that people are stupid for having the nerve to somehow actually use a platform like Windows and not emulate the pathetic trope where our machines are “confusing”, “crashing”, Full of malware, being “spied on”, or whatever goofy cliche of the week the Verge or Gizmodo cough up for clicks. And don’t forget how you guys like swinging around that company’s balance sheet as if that makes you better people because they charge you more for a pretty case.
In short you guys spend more time talking yourselves up for using a brand BECAUSE you use a brand than actually showing anything you do with it that actually would impress anyone.
The smarmy, snarky, and elitist attitude of Apple users is an almost direct mirror of your average SJW when it comes to how they engage in political discussion.
The whole whining about “Apple hate” is no different from some leftist idiot talking about “Islamophobia” or “homophobia” or “sexism”, “racism”, and “transphobia”. They feel the need to shame people for being critical of them (just like you) and believe that people just need to be “reeducated” to rid them of their wrong-think.
Just another branch of the victim stooge Olympics.
