You should then be happy there is competition to the iphone and you can purchase a product where the manufacturer really cares about their products and is innovative.
I love this instinct to tell anyone critical of apple or Tim Cook to go buy another company’s products. As if they’re above reproach and, if you dare question them or have an issue, you aren’t deserving of their gizmos that you bought.
If one, using MR to voice displeasure with the CEO, displeasure with the products, displeasure with the price, displeasure with the philanthrophy, basically criticizing many aspects of a company, wouldn't YOU be glad there is competition to buy from a company you actually find attractive to buy from? I don't understand the above that criticism only goes one way.
I’m not sure I understand but if someone is pointing out an issue with this massive corporation, their position is not immediately invalidated by the offering of competition. If they want to buy an iphone and complain about how awful apple and Tim Cook are all day, that’s completely reasonable. Apple and Tim Cook are awful, that doesn’t make Samsung somehow better and they don’t need to fall in line with the corporate messaging of the company whose silly little phone they use.
Ragging on the company, ceo, products and philanthropy is not pointing out an issue.
Why buy a product from an awful company, that doesn’t seem reasonable. It’s like the aphorism of the two old ladies in a restaurant.
- one says the food is awful
- and the other says and such small portions
No but if there are companies whose products, corporate culture, philanthropist issues you are aligned with, why not buy from them?
“Corporate culture” isn’t real, it’s marketing, companies aren’t aligned with philanthropist issues because they’re companies they don’t have values, you don’t have to like everything about a product to buy it and then criticize what you don’t like so idk what your point was there, the company you describe doesn’t exist, and the rest is just your opinion so I guess all I can say is I disagree. ?♀️
Right, because Steve Jobs was the CEO of Apple out of the kindness of his heart, and under him all of their products were free and completely flawless.
That’s what I’m getting from this message, while remembering that Steve Jobs once tricked people into paying an extra $169 for A snow leopard bundle, because he said the regular snow leopard disk would only upgrade a computer, not do a fresh install. It turned out that he was completely fabricating that.
Yeah, I don’t think so
