Beats Fit Pro Now Available to Order in Kim Kardashian's New Colors

[crsh1976]

I get the marketing spin, but I feel like Beats/Apple could have picked a celeb that promotes something else than sheer unadulterated vacuity for this stint. Under the pretense of diversity, no less.

This is just icky from all angles.

I'd love to see the idiots in Apple's PR department that actually thought linking their brand with KK was a step up?! Just why???

Remember that Beats wasn't originally an Apple brand and has a huge market following among non-Apple fans.

I see tons of people with Beats headphones and Android phones. You see very few people with AirPods and Android.

Apple is going to keep serving the market for the product they acquired.

You do realize Steve Jobs‘ focus was delivering quality and innovation to the PC/electronics spaces that was dominated by “race to the bottom” low end products. Profits were definitely part of Jobs’ strategy but it was not the driver behind his vision for the company. Products came first, prices/cost came afterwards. Tim‘s strategy is profits first, products secondary.

With the acquisition of Beats, Jobs’ vision went out the window. They pulled in trash products and in no way aligned with Jobs’ Apple. A partnership/acquisition of Sennheiser or B&W would have been more in line with Steve Jobs’ vision. Beats is just straight trash. And apparently it takes a Kardashian for people to realize it. Will it make money? Most likely given the zombie followers this family has. But it doesn’t make it NOT trash.

But hey, I’m the dumb one. I should have lowered my standards for humanity and tried to market trash products. I just thought people were smarter. Dumb on me. I’ll take the L on that.

That’s a super naive myth. Jobs was all about money too. He built a ridiculous yacht, real estate and, and, and..
As a human he obviously was an a..hole treating others badly and stupid enough to get cancer treatment from some kind of religious guru instead of doing what medical science recommended him. At least he realized his mistake when it was already too late.
Jobs was ceo at a time where there where a lot of technology breakthroughs and that was his luck. He admitted that himself. His failures outnumber his success, although the iPhone of course stands out and was a game changer.

In the end, he was the one who picked Tim Cook to bring Apple to new heights and he delivered every year since.
So if you so into praying to your god Steve Jobs, you should also accept his decision for Cook, whom he knew for many years.

Using a white woman who used Black skin to get rich while also fetishizing it...to make money using said White woman for a line of products for non-white folks...is a choice.

Yikes

The GOAT. All colors are sold out. Only Macrumors didn’t see this coming. Her audience is massive.

All the Kardashians family bought it themselves.

Probably limited quantity. Don't think the full inventory was available from the get-go.

 

[bb9]

Not all advertisement are good advertisement. I could not care less about any association between my head phones and her. 🤦‍♂️

 

[Supercyborgninja]

Imagine calling a white woman, whose only relevancy is being adjacent to Black ppl who make a fool of themselves, a ‘GOAT’. 😬😂

 

[JohnnyQuest]

Honestly, what offends me the most is that these don't have wireless charging 😂

 

[rican]

All variations are sold out.

 

[ninethirty]

Macrumors Forums: "these are ugly, horrible, who would want these?"
KimK: "Sold out!"

Who could have seen this coming? Haha.

 

[ohthehorror]

Not seeing the appeal of this person.

 

[needsomecoffee]

DO NOT CARE re: Kim or Beats. But that glamour shot made me think a lot of retouching was going on. So I searched on 'kim kardashian "unretouched"'. Yeah it is hard to be a real woman today when Kim is Photoshoped into this type of standard. Sorry that Apple (despite Tim's promotion of diversity) thinks it is good to present an image that lacks real links between women & reality.

Get over yourself. She has a massive following. Whatever she is doing is working, since she is a billionaire now. That magic formula isn’t working for everyone, so she must be doing something right.

She def knows how to lay on her tummy staring seductively into a camera … while someone else … does things …

 

[sjperformance]

I don't feel ethically/morally right purchasing these. Does anyone agree with me or am I the only one?

It would be been nice if part of the sales were going towards a good cause, charity, or something.

Exactly. We don't need to make her richer.

 

[tomtad]

What's this crap!

You should try the same thing and see if you can make yourself a billionaire. I bet you don't.

Well , being a porn star, even if it made me billions, is still not something I would ever consider… I understand that materialistic people may think that money (and sex) is everything. Maybe you’ll grow out of that mindset. And if you don’t, you could always try the tummy lay yourself. Good luck in your billionaire aspirations!

 

[-DMN-]

question is which version do I want:

1. ray j

2. Kanye

3. Pete Davidson

I’ll probably go for all 3 and save them as they’ll be collectors items one day

Goat comment 🐐😂🔥
Can’t wait for the “One Night in Paris” edition lol

I don't have billionaire aspirations, friend, and I'm already financially sound. What I don't do though is whine and moan on public forums about how I disapprove of how others have made their money as if I know better.

You won't do it, but go look at her instagram stories. Every. Single. Day. she's out doing fun things with her friends and her family. Sounds like an awful life to me!

 

[Schizoid]

I’ll never trust anything the Cardassians do after the Setlik III massacre

I’ve seen quite a few people do that, but they sure as hell aren’t selling like she is. Maybe they need the lay differently or something. Give props when props are due. I don’t know many “talentless” people who became billionaires.

You’re right … I wouldn’t look at that. And I’m kind of sorry for you that you look at her instagram every single day, but I do hope it gives you pleasure.

What kind of world do we live in where people deserve “props” for taking so much of the wealth because they look good with something in their rear? This world, apparently. Sadly.

Well…

Porn star for billions?

Ummm…

Lemme get back to you…

She was criticized for something once, and her response: "look at my bank account."

So, yes, we all like money, but when money becomes your end game in life, then your life is wasted.
