I would like to apologies up front for this but my annoyance has been slowly building.
I am just so sick and tired of this ongoing hype concerning Apple and its latest piece of "Technology" that is going to change the world. I can not believe the media attention this is getting, how worked up people are getting and there share price rising when they haven't actually done anything.
At first I imagined it was the Apple executives being extremely smart to build up such hype and they are clearly good at it but it just seems Apple could make any product and people would go crazy over it. A majority of people just seem to buy Apple products just because they are made by Apple. People just seem to ignore the actual performance and usefulness of the product. Everyone focuses on how beautiful it is.
However what really gets to me is the way they con people out of more money when they release a "New" and "Improved" product. The iPhone being the classic example. As far as I can tell the new versions have just added functionality which is already wide-spread. A video recorder for example or a change of colour
I do believe Apple hold back some functionalities so they can release a "New and Improved" version in a year or so. I can guarantee that the same will happen with this product.
I can not blame this all on Apple, as it is us the consumers who drive it. I know that not all Apple users think like this but it is clear a lot of them purchase Apple products because they get to show off.
I accept that Apple have been able to create this hype because they have in the past released revolutionary products such as the Ipod but this does not allow to build up such hype to an extent where some people, I'm sure, will feel forced to purchase this product just so they can "fit in".
These are my personal views and I’m sure people will disagree with me but I just had to get it off my chest.
Thanks for reading.
DA.
