Apple are really taking the piss here

I don’t like Apple, I don’t like there continual and relentless marketing philosophy, so why have I just ordered my first Apple Watch series 7? Because their products just work, are easy to operate and for most who don’t want to tweak them do exactly what you need them to do. My 87yr old mum wouldn’t be without her iPhone or iPad and they’re simple enough she can use them.

I have to smile at the irony that on a BMW forum we’re complaining about price gouging for branded accessories… Ever taken a look at the prices of all the branded knick-knacks in your local stealers? I shudder what to think an “MSport” polishing cloth would go for. :D

I think the problem with Apple is you tend to get sucked in a little with their hype and then they tend to become the comfortable default choice which is what they want :?

Years ago I think they were great and the market leaders but maybe not so much now and way too overpriced these days.

Still you takes your choice, maybe next time I might try one of their MacBooks to see if the hype still exists :)

I changed to the Apple a few years ago.

My Samsung phone would not stay linked to the E89 I had at the time - My wife and I both needed new phones but Samsung were not able to help nor give any guarantee their new phones would not do the same.
The service manager at my BMW dealership said iPhones had given then no grief so I borrowed an iPhone to try and it worked faultlessly.

I went on to buy iPhones, iPads , Mac book and iMac
Like a lot of expensive things, they are expensive for a reason.
Don’t expect to get champagne for lemonade money.

My nine year old iMac is as quick as the day I bought it - how many pc’s that old are still performing as well as they came out of the box? It has 500Gb of disk space used out of the 1Tb yet It loads photos and files without any undue delay.
When I messed up the system by fiddling with some settings, the ‘time machine ‘ was there to help restore to a known good point simply without a fuss.
I found this a great relief as I’m no IT guru and being retired, I don’t have access to the IT department any longer.


I would also add that the integration between their product is excellent - my wife hates tech stuff, yet she happily works between her iphone/iPad/MacBook.

I’ve had a step tracker for years, Jawbone first and then a Fitbit, which I’m on my third, the last being their new Luxe model. I’ve preferred the slim type as I’ve usually worn a watch, but this last year I’ve only worn a watchfor work or nights out. Now, with the ability to run everything off it without the need for your phone nearby I think the time is right to take the plunge.
