They were made from apple.com. My grandfather always said "The best always cost more" but $3599 for a 16" (not even the standard 17" screen) is crazy as all hell.These videos are not playing.

But why is it crazy? What are you comparing it to to determine it's crazy? Think about your drones. There's a drone that costs $10,000 more than the one you have but there are fit and finish differences. There's probably better software and controls and more horsepower. But if you compare the costs the one that is +$10,000 is more expensive but it's justifiably so". You either value the difference or don't, that's what you have with Apple. Apple makes extremely well designed, well built, and well refined products that work seamlessly with one another. If you value that, the price makes sense. But saying "oh here's a piece of shit windows computer that is 1000 less" is a bogus argument.They were made from apple.com.

A Ferrari is a highly price (not to be driven too hard or too long) type of car. A Pagani (Rode in a Zonda) IS worth the $800k to 1 million. Why? Easy to work on and you can do the maintenance yourself.These videos are not playing.

That's not the point though. The point is what are you comparing Apple products to in order to determine that they are expensive. Because often when you compare comparable Windows and Android devices to Apple products the prices end up being right in alignment. People that say Apple is expensive are usually comparing low end Windows and Android products to Apple which only competes in the Premium space.A Ferrari is a highly price (not to be driven too hard or too long) type of car.

Brother Jay? I agree. Hell I am typing this on my Imac and yes its the cats meow. But also next to that is a Dell Inspiron 5593 and Im very happy with it. Yes I said apple pricing is crazy I didnt say I wouldn't buy it.But why is it crazy? What are you comparing it to to determine it's crazy? Think about your drones.

I'm not saying you wouldn't buy it I'm just asking people a simple question. If Apple products are expensive what are they being compared to. Is Ruth Chris expensive because I can get a $15 steak at denny's?Brother Jay? I agree. Hell I am typing this on my Imac and yes its the cats meow. But also next to that is a Dell Inspiron 5593 and Im very happy with it. Yes I said apple pricing is crazy I didnt say I wouldn't buy it.
I've ALWAYS been team SAMSUNG & ALWAYS will! 💯I let my kid sister know this difference last week when she talked about getting an android device. Let her know the need to be specific with the company that makes the Android that she want. Understanding the difference between iPhones and Samsung mobile devices are easier than when one put all Android OS devices into one basket.
I get what you are saying. You are paying for quality and brand, not just the object but there is no excuse for a monitor stand being THAT expensive. I don't know anyone who wanted that thing. Not for that price.These videos are not playing.

You made the right choice! I enjoy using Samsung devices as they stand the test of time. Wouldn't want to say much about iPhones since I make use of it rarely. What Samsung model are you currently using?I've ALWAYS been team SAMSUNG & ALWAYS will! 💯
S22 Ultra, it's AMAZING! ❤️❤️You made the right choice! I enjoy using Samsung devices as they stand the test of time. Wouldn't want to say much about iPhones since I make use of it rarely. What Samsung model are you currently using?
What's funny is that when we were younger we knew all the names and would laugh at the adults. Now the shoe is on the other foot and my son laughs at me when I get the names wrong.This reminds me of how mothers back in the day would call every single game console the "Nintendo" or the "Sega". :V The majority of people often forget that Android is a operating system. I don't know how many times I've heard people ask me if I have a Apple or Android phone. Anyways, I prefer iPhones. They're becoming much cheaper now if you're on prepaid like I am. Sure your phone might be a little bit outdated, but it's still functional.
I'm Team Android. I can't imagine have an Apple phone.
It is a personal thing. I have never liked iPhone from the first time I saw one and used somebody else's. I loved Samsung Galaxies from the frst time I held one.Any reasons for that? I see no big deal in owning an iPhone though. I am using a Samsung device now (Android), but enjoys taking pictures with iPhone devices.
For some people, iPhone is a luxury product but there's no harm in having it as long as you can afford it. It's just like the new iPhone 14, it's an impressive smartphone.Any reasons for that?

I don't like the way those phones look.Forget Apple and Android it’s all about the Palm Pre and Web OS ha ha. Just kidding. Who remembers that os? I designed for thier os back in 2012 and it was very robust and years ahead of the others and still failed. The next decade will be interesting.

I never really liked any smartphone that's a flip or slide up deigned. It's why too much stress for me to use them. If it's not flat designed, I'm not interested.Forget Apple and Android it’s all about the Palm Pre and Web OS ha ha. Just kidding. Who remembers that os?

I'm the same way. I tried both and was not a fan of either.I never really liked any smartphone that's a flip or slide up deigned. It's why too much stress for me to use them. If it's not flat designed, I'm not interested.
That's true mate, if the the price is equivalent to the worth and the value you gain from it then it's not expensive but just priced to befit it's value.These videos are not playing.
