Beats Fit Pro in Kim Kardashian Colors Sold Out in US and Canada at Apple

[compwiz1202]

I mean I’ve always thought it to be a marketing strategy to have things appear “sold out”? To make it look more desirable? I’m not saying it’s a lie that it’s sold out but that Apple (among other companies) intentionally making fewer of their products for this reason? I wouldn’t put it past them.

I never understand either. Why don't these companies do something to up productivity? It doesn't matter if something is desirable if you can never get it. Eventually people will go to a competitor like I did when stupid Wii was still sold out after TWO YEARS. The lady in Gamestop summed it up perfectly when she mumbled, WT*, now we have to stalk stores?!"

I’m pretty sure this is one of the biblical 7 signs of the end of the world. 🤯

well the lowercase b logo on the case, and two earpieces look an awful lot like 6’s and three of those is 666…

but in all seriousness, if it’s the end of the world then look no further at the wh0re of babylon

edit: typo on “if”

To everyone saying: i ToLd YoU sO, this doesn't tell us anything unless we know what the production run was. If they made 100 of these, them selling out nationwide isn't an accomplishment for Apple.

It's Kim Kardashian. She has a massive audience. They didn't make 100.

I have no idea why this is controversial…

I'll explain.

"Kim Kardashian is bad, because she got famous from a sex tape, so she's a porn star, and porn stars are bad, except when I watch porn because that's different but still, that's besides the point. As I was saying, Kim Kardashian is an idiot and offers nothing to humanity at all (unlike me!), and yes she's a billionaire, and yes she's created a ton of successful business endeavors, but I still know better than her, even though I haven't managed to achieve the same success. Moving on, these colors are gross, and don't appeal to me as a guy, so obviously they shouldn't appeal to anyone else either. I have no idea why Apple, a company who likes making money, would partner with Kim (a person who makes money) and so I have deemed this to be a horrible idea that will never bear fruit of any kind. Oh, they're sold out? Well they probably only made 100 pairs because there's no way that I could be wrong."

IDK, my wife thought it was neat that they are skin toned/don't stand out when wearing. Walked into Apple SoHo around noon today and picked up a pair, no problem. The employee I spoke to didn't even know they had them.

Yeah, I showed these to my wife and she thought these new Beats looked great and said if she liked wearing wireless buds (which she doesn't) she'd get a pair.

Seems the goalposts have been moved from “who’s going to want this” to “Apple is deliberately limiting supply to create the illusion of demand”.

Every single time.

And his music has what to do with hitting a a woman? If you think she has talent, I’ve got nothing else to say.

Stop twisting my words. I said talent at making money. Plus I said he did have skills. Unlike others, I’m not an apologist for him being a scumbag. What is it with him that you resonate with?

Is this actually true? Based on?

Bunch of sheep.

Insulting to sheep - at least they have some uses and can justify their existence, and are more intelligent that you might think.

They’re still available in Australia

Christ almighty, they’re skin tones man. That’s the whole point.

Then why doesn't the article say that? And why are the colors named "Earth", "Moon", and "Dune"?

spot FREAKING on. “she got famous off a sex tape!” oh ok so it’s wrong for her, but no one else. “she does nothing for society!” oh yeah? a lot of people don’t.

like give me a break lol

 

[brgjoe]

I'm still amazed there are still all those people who follow that particular family. But, whatevers.

I have an idea though. You say the Mini isn't a great sales success? Well, make in those Kim K colors and release it as a Kardashian Edition iPhone. Watch them fly off the shelves!

You're welcome, Tim Apple.

 

[svish]

Does not look like it will be available online again. Don't know whether there was a huge demand for these or only a few units were made available.

People dislike her not because she became famous via sex tape, but because she and her family are self obsessed vapid airheads that have taught a massive amount of people that self-interest, superficiality and consumerism should be at the center of life at all times.

The only thing her business does is move more money towards a person that doesn’t need it, and create bigger landfills.

Ironically, she and her family would have contributed more to society had they actually done nothing.

"Self obsessed vapid airheads." that have somehow built an empire that they manage and curate with extreme efficiency. Oh and you know, Kim's also going to school to be a lawyer, and recently passed the baby bar and should take the bar this year. But yeah, airhead.

They didn't teach anyone anything. They are what people want, and they've capitalized on that. But yeah, airheads.

If only she applied herself sooner. Had to take it four times though.

As you state: they are what (certain) people want, and their demographic is probably unique in its willingness to throw money at them. If you think that requires a streamlined operation that they run themselves I've got a bridge to sell you.

If she'd only applied herself sooner? From the moment that sex tape came out, she's been applying herself non stop. That's why she's a billionaire.

Regarding that bridge, why don't you explain to me (in detail please, because you obviously are familiar at that level) how easy it is to run and manage the businesses they run. In fact, I'll make it easy for you, let's talk just Kim. Explain to me her involvement (or not) in:

SKIMS
SKKN
KKW Beauty
KKW Fragrance
Kimoji
Dash Boutique
ShoeDazzle
Kim Kardashian Hollywood

Those are just her businesses. She's of course got her Hulu show with her family, she's studying to become a lawyer, and a Mom to 4 kids. And you know, everything she's paid a ton to promote on social media as well. Oh, I guess we shouldn't forget collaborations and partnerships like this one also.

Don't worry, I'll wait.

 

[Parzival]

Come on dude, you can’t be so naive to think she’s actually running that stuff. At that level the assistants have assistants. She’s just the public face for generic crap made in China.
