iJustine. The most annoying apple enthusiast on the planet.
Surprised to see people without masks in a place that used to be the coronavirus capital of the world. Also interesting to see that yelling and cheering are still welcome activities during these times.
at the time I definitely knew about mp3 players, but I WANTED an iPod. It was a great device.It's always been like that. It was at it's worst when the iPod was really popular back in around 2004/05 with the dancing silhouette commercials. People were (and still are) easily influenced. I remember subways in Toronto would be filled with people with white headphones. You knew they had an ipod. It got so bad, people didn't really even know that alternatives existed (back then Cowon MP3 players were way better). Apple furthered this (very subtle) brainwashing via their evangelical marketing (thanks to Guy Kawasaki) and running with the term 'podcast', although not invented by them, this led people to believe that only apple devices could play internet radio streams.
There's been a loooooot of manipulation of the public by Apple over the years. Nothing illegal, but they've definitely had a hand in cultural influence.
Agreed.I admire iJustine for her entrepreneurial success. Why all the hate? Is she hurting anyone? Or is she just not what you all want her to be (which I don’t know why anyone would care)?
What do you mean?
That's exactly how things have gone down. Why even deny it?
Take Apple's term 'Retina Display'... it's almost as if Apple wants consumers to believe that ONLY Apple has some fancy technology with high resolution screens.
But that's ALL it is; high resolution. There's no need for some gimmicky term 'retina display' There's a lot of ego behind Apple's marketing. If you remember (maybe not if you're too young), when Apple started selling their 'magic' mouse... the product page with FILLED with buzz words and fancy photos that had you scroll down the web page filled with glorifying marketing material and detailed specs over a basic two button mouse with a touch sensitive scroll strip thing. It's incredible how they stretched the hell out of that.... and Apple consumers gobble it up.
Ever seen the 1984 commercial? It's hilarious to see Apple and their consumers become EXACTLY what they called out...

Literally every cell phone manufacturer sold in NA has a branded term for their display and for several other ”standard features” on their phone. It’s very basic marketing, and while marketing can be considered “brainwashing“ it isn’t something Apple does differently than the competition. Retina doesn’t just mean high resolution, it means high-enough resolution to have individual pixels be indiscernible to the human eye at regular viewing distances. It doesn’t mean **** to the general consumer but neither does the INFINITY-O display in a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G.That's exactly how things have gone down. Why even deny it?

ABSOLUTELY NOT. No other company has a cult of brand to the point where you have cheerleaders and people running, high-fiving eachother as they run into a store just to get their shiny new gadget.Literally every cell phone manufacturer sold in NA has a branded term for their display and for several other ”standard features” on their phone.

The Magic Mouse comments are really weird because it’s one of the most widely criticized products I can think of that Apple still sells. People also aren’t ”Apple consumers”. They are consumers who chose to buy a thing by Apple. No one here is thick enough to try to broad-stroke define someone as an “LG-consumer” because they bought a TV and cell phone from a popular electronics company.
Your take on the 1984 ad is one that’s been said a thousand times, and it continues to be a indicator of logical problems with the poster. “Apple consumers” (again? sheesh) were not the ones who “called-out” anything with that commercial. The commercial was commissioned by Apple and what again is being called-out in the commercial? Are you deliberately divorcing the content of the ad from the context in which it was made and shown? The IBM-era was a much different time.

Only Apple has this kind of following. iJustine made a career out of it.
