iPod touch Does Apple Think People Are Dumb?

You don't understand products aren't made to your personal whims and demands?

Have you ever heard that "the customer is always right"? I guess not. Besides, I am Apple's shareholder, are you? I can demand a lot of things. But in any case, I surely do not have to agree with fanboyz and ditto heads who are intolerable and seem to be afraid of Apple's criticism. Why would you be against those who want Apple to do better? I told you yesterday, it is okay, nobody is going to take away your super-thin iPod Touch. Relax. :D
 
Hey dudes, why didn't Apple make the iPod functionally equivalent to the iPhone but cheaper? Also, why does Apple think people are dumb?

Also, why doesn't my C-Class Benz have everything the S-Class does but for a lower price? I know they've got all the parts at the factory, they must think customers are stupid.

So you think it's better for business to sell an absolute feature-parity product minus one feature of another premium product for half the price? You have provided zero analysis for such a conclusion. You do realize what you recommend could reasonably be expected to be bad for business?

And no, you can't really demand anything with a few :apple: shares. If you want Apple to make your feature parity iPod to improve their business, you'll have to buy a few more (shares, that is). ;)

And when a customer of a very strange n=1 is demanding something for nothing, that customer's wrong. You just don't tell them that.
 
Wow, you have managed to troll for 9 pages straight.

This has got to be an MR record surely.

Wait, you know how many shares I have? :eek:

I did not, but your and other off topic posts are great examples of trolling. Most pages in this thread were created by fanboyz who act like scared little girls when they hear anything other than what Apple tells them to think.

Pay attention, this has been covered many times. Nobody was talking about identical products minus just one feature.

Nobody but you, right? This is all coming down to what? A camera?

A still camera is not an important part of the device for me. I've never taken a picture with my cell phone. I appreciate the advantages of a thinner device in my pocket at a lower cost.

Great! So, the question is: If a camera and other features are important for me, should I call you a troll? No, right? You have your opinion, I have mine, right? So can you and all other fanboyz tell me why they have such a huge problem with someone who has different needs and opinions from what Apple tells them to think? Please, grow a pair. It is okay, Steve Jobs is not going take your iPod Touch from you if you say something other than what he says.

"So OP, what would it take to make you happy?" Simple, what Steve Jobs said on Sept. 1st - i.e., the new iPod Touch is the iPhone without the phone

"There is no way to do it right." Sure there is. It is called the iPhone.

Clearly, they have all the components they need today because they have the iPhone, but why innovate

excuse from Apple for not providing the same functionality and quality as on the iPhone

I do not have the iPhone, but I want iPod Touch and was waiting for it to catch up to the iPhone

Steve Jobs himself said that the new iPod Touch is the iPhone without the phone, but clearly it is not.

the same functionality as you get on iPhone, minus the phone part

There is no reason for the iPod Touch not to be as good as the iPhone

Apple, on the other hand, does have a virtually identical better product, but it makes excuses that only fanboyz can buy

The problem is: He wants a $700 iPhone for $200.

Which is silly, of course.

Right, and it should have ended there. But what the hey, let's go another 9 more pages to please the troll.

You mean like that "off-topic" post where I state you're paying more for an iPhone and thus you get more features? :rolleyes:

Actually, my question is why are you only blaming Apple and not other companies.

Do you know what off topic means? Obviously, you do not. Google it.

Oh, and again, this is another dead horse. Nobody was making this argument. Same features, lower quality of the same features. That is the issue.

Why are you asking me and not some dude on the North Face board? Do you know what we are talking about? We are talking about iPod Touch, which is made by Apple, not some other company. :rolleyes:

But in any case, I am not blaming anybody. I simply do not buy Apple's so-called "explanation" for upgrading the Touch with underwhelming (to put it mildly) features and hardware components. But again, if you are happy with 0.7 MB camera in 2010, we never going to be on the same page, so move on.
 
Icaras said:
No, here's the point.

You never had a 0.anything camera in the last model.

No, here is the point. "Think different." Remember that? But again, I cannot argue with people who are satisfied with mediocrity.

But are you arguing with me still. :rolleyes: So more megapixels in the camera translates to "Think different"? :confused:
 
WoW

wow...Jjobs implied like a iphone without the contract. Big mistake... not true.. should retract- yes??.
.
Still as never an owner of any product except for imac , from what I can tell ipod touch is a "good product" for the money. Could be better, of course if apple was willing to make less profit, but we all know what their game is so buy it or not. your choice=....

I agree. He at least reasonably kept it together for a few pages but then it just kind of fell apart on him. I would like to take credit for pushing him into this response though:

As you pointed out, Carouser, he tried to pivot away from another nonsensical position about what he actually wanted to it just being about the camera and landed face first in the rest of his posts. Tsk tsk. It was fun while it lasted anyway.

Carouser said:
I give this troll a 9/10. In other words, it totally sucks.
Click to expand...

Kinda sucks. Kinda.
 
LOLz, the real trolls celebrate their imagined victory. Unlike fanboyz above, I have an opinion, and what I said still stands. What is your position? Thank you Apple for 0.7 MB camera in 2010 and making "but it is thinner" excuse? Right, you won; did you get the "I love bumpers" sticker from Apple? :D I bet you bought that nonsense hook, line, and sinker too. Sad.
 
Ok, let us so called fanboys make this easy for you:

Please don't buy it.

Thank you and goodnight.

Edit: 10 pages! lol
