Apple Halting Mac Component Orders Due to Overestimated Demand?
Yes, I wasn't impressed with Apple's last product launch. I frankly thought it was pretty stupid: "Here's our new 13-inch laptop, it starts at $1,500, and here's our new $1,200+ iMac, look how thin it is!" The only value they offered was with the iPad Mini, and their sales success backs that up.
I wouldn't throw in the towel on Apple by any means. I didn't like their last product launch, but I still like the products very much.
I have to disagree with you there. I think that Apple products offer a lot of value. I know a lot of people who bought Galaxy phones who prefer their old iPhone. On the PC side, I think that Apple's software, hardware and support are all better than what WinTel offers. I had a Toshiba laptop that always crashed on shutdown. And it was a corporate laptop; the crash happened with all of our Toshiba laptops. So I called Toshiba. They told me (seriously) that they would not support me at all, because I'd installed software onto the computer! (seriously, they really did that).And DUH Apple REALLY IS simply selling overpriced, underspec'd, uninnovative products now and has been for two years, getting worse and worse.
