The only common consumer electronics that does NOT get better, faster and
cheaper over time - are the highly marketed Apple products sold to morons.

This article delves into why where Apple cultivates an especially ignorant
customer base who is easily swayed by silly stupid things - like the color.

*iPhone 15 price: New Apple handset could be by far most expensive ever*
�<https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/iphone-15-pro-max-price-new-b2408069.html>

"Rumours have suggested that Apple is looking to offer new options
at the very expensive end of its line-up, in an attempt to encourage
growth of its profits. Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, appeared
to confirmed that strategy during an earnings call earlier this
year in which he said that he thought "people are willing to
really stretch to get the best they can afford in that category".

The funny thing is I understand Apple's strategy of cultivating an ignorant
gullible customer base far better than that ignorant customer base does.

Oh, look!

Arlen got it wrong... ...again!

"Apple on Tuesday said it will not raise prices for the iPhone 15
lineup, which could further incentivize users to upgrade."

All extremists should be taken out and shot.
