Dear Apple, that's not what we meant we asked you to become cheap.
Thought I was on an adult toy site there for a minute 😂😂
Greed is on the 4th circle of Dante's Inferno.
Debauchery on the 10th circle.
At least she has choices.

I still do not belive she is holding speakers.
When Jobs returned in 1997, he changed the near-bankrupt Apple from a nerdy company to a trendy one, because he figured that quality, innovation, and creativity weren't enough to make Apple successful. As always, he tried to think out of the box and came up with new ideas that would create a buzz: casual dressing in his keynotes, colorful iMacs, cool iPod ads, etc. The big idea, inspired from the likes of Swatch and Nike, was that even a boring product (such as a computer, a watch, or a pair of sneakers) can become wildly popular if you design and market it the right way. To that end, Apple's marketing was heavily reoriented towards young people, trying to pass the company's products as fashionable, must-have stuff owned by the cool and famous. And that strategy just worked, earning Apple tons of money that can be reinvested in research and development, creating a virtuous circle. But I do agree that the innovation rate has become slower than when Apple only had the Mac, and the company's maturity now means that it will increasingly focus on improving current products rather than creating new ones.

A big part of advertising is subliminal messaging, especially ads with prurient themes that can't be overtly stated.
Should’ve had one in the “Earth” tone her Beats Solo Pro headphones are available in. It’s a really nice color.
Y’all really hate Kim K on here 💀
She‘s pretty inoffensive. Her main thing is fashion and beauty. Y’all are still calling this woman out of her name because of one tape from two decades ago when she was in her 20s. It’s time y’all move past that.

Apple also targets female customers, and I suspect Kim has more influence on them than a basketball player.
They bought Beats mainly for Beats Music, the foundation of what became Apple Music. It’s the second biggest streaming service after Spotify, so I’d say they got their money’s worth.
