Apple are a trillion dollar company their marketing seems to be going ok.
I honestly think there’s a cultural issue and I just don’t understand the American psyche, the majority in the UK/Aus don’t let politics define them in the same way the US seems to.
I’m normally a conservative voter but I would happily change if I felt that was in my best interests and the best interests of my nation.
If a company with a lot of money and power wants to try and make the world a better place why shouldn’t they be allowed?
Yes, they should be allowed. Without a doubt. I am for freedom. When I say "should do", I am not for laws restricting it, but just that it probably isn't a good idea. I understand that Apple is a huge company, but don't forget their past.
1. Were large and successful
2. Plummeted
3. Was bailed out by Microsoft. Yep....Microsoft.
4. Has become a giant.
Many of companies that are huge come and go. And it can take a log time for Apple to feel affects of its mistakes. There are companies that we never thought would go under or shrink.
Some Companies off the top of my head:
1. Kodak
2. Xerox
3. Hostess
4. Lucent
5. Blockbuster
6. Tandy/Radio Shack
7. Atari and Sega are a shell of what they were.
8. General Motors (Pulled out of Chapter 11 by the government
Keep in mind politics was only one of the things I mentioned. The fact that they are as expensive as ever yet are delivering a product I find no longer worthy of the price tag is a huge one for me. They continue to ignore their customers, and continually denies when they have issues they don't want to address.
It is hard to argue with my Windows powered breathers when they are sporting an i7 quad core, 4K display, 32GB ram, 512+ SSD and paid less or the same as my MacBook Pro with an i5, 8GB ram, 256GB SSD, and a display that is good, but would not put in the great category, and I have been waiting for 2 years now to get use to the butterfly keyboard. However, I am not sure anyone will ever outdo the mouse and the gestures it uses compared to its Windows competitors.
