apple is working on that as well :)
i mean if i think about the magic mouse with the touch guestures to scroll for example - even if logitech is doing a much better job, they just dont get access to the api to implement the smooth scrolling like you get with apple products
its those things which makes apple a nogo for me … and of course the crazy prices
but i get old and tired of hating … i just buy the stock and benefit from the users who are ok with all that
i do know them … they even get a step further and are wirking on a “box” where you can use your mainboard if someday they offer an updated one for the laptop case, so you can use the old one for a server box or sth
i do like those as well … i just wanted to make my point that even for a company where i refuse to buy something from, there are some things which impress me
nah friend … the opposite of a victim of marketing campaign … i don’t touch apple devices because of the walled garden they built and the prices they do
i was mainly talking about the mac pro’s case design and the modular setup … thats extremely appealing in my personal perspective.
i do not know if they stand the challange of time, but the mac pro for sure impressed me even if i get called a apple-hater in my personal circle of friends
so don’t mistake me for a fanboy - but i do pay respect for things which imoress me.
if you check my prev comment you’ll see that i especially point oit that they ask for crazy prices (monitor stand, mac pro wheels, thunderbold cable … god even the whipes carry something like 1000% apple tax) … still the mac pro case seems pretty cool to me
not an apple product fan for sure ) see comment before
but if you take a look at the (of course overprized) mac pro i think the overengeneering is understandable … thats pure hardware porn, even the venting holes are drilled to reduce sound
as said i only own one apple “product” … the stock, because zhey have a crazy fanbase which will cultishly defend every messup … but the mac pro is a masterpiece of hardware
… shoud run linux thou
thats why i own apple stocks. as long as consumers are defending the company for even the craziest prizes - i’d be fine
monitor stand 1k … no problem https://www.apple.com/at/shop/product/MWUG2D/A/pro-stand
wheels for 800 … no problem https://www.apple.com/at/shop/product/MX572ZM/A/apple-mac-pro-rollen-kit
thunderbold cable for 179 … no problem https://www.apple.com/at/shop/product/MWP02ZM/A/thunderbolt-4-pro-kabel-3-m
i’m happy when you are … paying 500 for the headphones is ok if it makes you happy … not for the value of the headphones, but your happyness is worth much more
still you bought a pair of 500$ headphones from apple where you’d get “semi-professional” ones from the leaders of that segment for the same price range (bose, senheiser, sony)
for audio fanatics those 500$ seem insane as well … just saying
