Comment on The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down
rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 6 months agoThey had cheaper periods and series in the past. eMac and such.
Being more expensive is their competitive advantage. For people who consider this a sign of social status.
But they are a company with the goal of making money, so if changing that part of their image seems more profitable, they’ll do it.

Ok well,
Anyone who considers apple products a status symbol already has bought in and won’t be swayed one way or the other by windows becoming worse.
Anyone who actually understands technology knows that regardless of how many different apps or environments apple OS’s provide, you are always operating in a closed system with the tools they allow. Whereas an operating system like android, or Linux, or (at least for now) windows, your options for the capability of a tool are limited only by what exists or what you have the capability to write.
In short, apple isn’t an OS that technologically literate people flock to as an exclusive option.

With desktop MacOS it’s the same as with Windows for now.
No, but many do.
