From iphone to macbook all their products are overpriced and useless..
I mean an iphone 6 is way useless vs samsung galaxy s5
A normal laptop or a windows tower pc is way better from macbook or a mac "monitor" pc
Why the hell someone buy apple products? is that people so much sheeps? jesus..

Personally, I wouldn't trade my iPad for any other tablet. It's perfect. I've sampled other tablets and the software is just too clunky. Tablets should be simplified computers. I don't want to micromanage my tablet the way I do a PC.
As for my phone, I wish I could get a reliable flip phone like we used to have. I just need to make calls and send texts. Web browsing is a plus but I don't need it. Siri on a old school flip phone would be perfect. I don't need all this other junk on a phone that will break if you breath on it. One tiny speck of water gets on the touch screen and the phone just won't do anything. It's pathetic.
As for computers, idk. PCs are cheap so I have no problem using one until it just stops working. I don't like the fact that on an apple computer, I wouldn't be able to diagnose a problem on my own. Hardware problems are harder to deal with, and I wouldn't know where to begin if I had a software issue. Outside of that, I've no idea if I would enjoy a mac better because I have no reason to buy one.

the Average Tower PC perform 50 times better than the best MAC Monitor PC...and the tower PC (windows) cost half than the monitor pc..so the "perform" thing dosent apply...reliable..nope again the galaxy S5 it have almost the double power of the iphone 6...and its way cheaper..so again...
And the average consumer would need a good product that is cheap too...and this sure is not an apple product...
So again i just cant see the reason..

Most people aren't using their computer in ways to notice the performance difference. Considering LoL can be played on a toaster along with tons of other games, most people just don't care. If they have the money for the flashy apple thing, they are going to get that. People that don't know that PCs are better are people that don't care enough to find out, because they don't use their computer for anything intensive. Do some spreadsheets, browse some websites, stalk people on facebook, etc.
It's also simpler, because there's apple and their newest iteration of the same product... then there's all the hundreds of non-apple PC configurations that confuse the shit out of the average consumer.
Also, there is familiarity. Not sure what decade you were born in, but a lot of kids now are growing up around apple products rather than just tech in general. They are growing up in a time where apple products are as much a fashion statement as gucci boots or w/e kids are into. If they had a mac in their home growing up, along with an ipad and an iphone.. they are familiar to these and will be more likely to use them in the future rather than trying to switch over to a non-apple product. Again, simplicity because going from apple to a custom made PC is extremely confusing to the average consumer
So I'm not sure what your point is. The people you want to convince that PCs are better have no reason to be convinced. They don't care because they don't need to care.

Bro... You over exaggerate so hard on how fragile these phones are. I literally shower with my phone. Never had any problems, I did drop one in ramen and it broke though... But really it was salty ass ramen.
Now about buying a Mac desktop, there are a couple reasons. A) Macs are 99% virus free. You don't have to run programs or ANy sort of maintenance to make sure it's clean B) Reliablility. Having witnessed the life span of dozens of apple laptops and desktops I can tell you that they tend to last much longer then windows based computers. (I work as a computer repair technician, I see a good amount of hardware failures on 2-3 year models whereas I've yet to have an apple product fail within 6 years. C) Simplicity. Apples is by far the simplest operating system. Having a universal settings bar makes it very easy for people to change the settings and eases the learning curve of new applications.
So who should buy an apple computer? Well there are a few key factors to consider: Do you play games? If yes, are you ok limiting your selection for Mac? Or do you want the endless possibilities windows offers? Are you fairly tech savvy? If not, Apple products would be easier for you to deal with. Can you take care of your own computer? Virus removals and maintenance are EXPENSIVE. If your unable to keep your computer clean and remove them yourselves then forget about saving the cost difference between Apple and windows.

So go buy a flip phone? If you have Verizon I'd be happy to sell you a brand new flip with construction site approved durability. $30 with a new contract. YOU choose your phone and there are still plenty of flips out there if you want a smart phone. would you rather have a glass or rubber bowl? Rubber is more durable and will work, but the glass one is nicer and cleaner! :)

The OP was about why people still buy apple products. I explained why people do, and what I would prefer as an alternative. Also, I can't get a flip phone with my current provider. I would switch (actually I'd love to get my hands on one of those old ugly casio gz'one phones) but literally every other provider has sketchy service in my area despite being near the city and surrounded by towers.

anyways, if you dont like em, you have the great opportunity NOT to get one!

Define "double power" better. According to some random benchmarks (http://www.tomsguide.com/us/iphone-6-benchmark-results,news-19584.html) it's pretty much a wash, and the iPhone has a better screen.
An unlocked iPhone6 is $649/749/849 with 16/64/128GB of storage. An unlocked S5 seems to be ~$529 with 16GB of storage.
Don't get me wrong, the S5 is cheaper and a very capable phone. But the iPhone isn't "way weaker" and the S5 isn't "half [the] price".

RAM
Yes, the S5 has 2GB of RAM versus 1GB in the iPhone6. This is largely irrelevant in real-world usage due to the way Apple handles application and memory management. (Of course, that is also part of why Apple doesn't have "real" multitasking for all apps, so you could still consider this an advantage for the Galaxy.)
CPU
They're completely different chipsets; you can't directly compare on raw clock speed or number of cores. In most benchmarks the iPhone tends to be even, sometimes even faster. The GPU in the iPhone is top-notch, and Apple optimizes aggressively around it in iOS.
RESULOTION (sic)
Of course the S5 has a higher-resolution screen than the iPhone 6 -- it's bigger and heavier! The S5 has a higher overall resolution (~double the number of pixels) and pixel density (by about 33%). The iPhone, however, has better color accuracy and contrast. The iPhone 6 Plus and S5 have the same resolution, although the 6 Plus is even larger than the S5.
CAMERA
The S5's camera is 16MP, but the per-pixel sensor size is tiny and so it takes crap pictures in low light and they're kinda grainy overall despite the high resolution. This is the same problem the Sony Alpha-series SLRs have. So no, it doesn't really have a better camera in practice.
Again -- the S5 is a great phone, and Apple doesn't have a significant lead in hardware specs anymore (and has fallen behind in some ways). But the iPhone 6 is in the same price ballpark as other flagship smartphones.
You want to talk about laptops, sure, Apple gouges people for Macbooks. No argument there. And their workstation pricing is absurd. But the iPhone and iPad are pretty damn solid.

On something where the S5 can use a ton of threads it might win out, but there are few mobile applications to really take advantage of it. I'd also expect the S6 and other upcoming Android phones to kick performance up a few notches, of course.
In practice all the flagship phones are lightning quick these days. The speed differences only matter if you're doing something computationally intensive, and maybe you get slightly shinier 3D graphics in games on one versus the other.

S5 was released in 2014 april. So why not compare phones near the same release date?
Wait let's compare how this link has argued that point. Xbox one is faster than Playstation 3 hands down. Brilliant.
Lmao don't be delusional, every Iphone before the I6 has been extremely subpar compared to Galaxies and HTC's lines. Even LG and Sony are faster. Iphone 6 is their first fast one and it's still 1-2 years behind in speed/power.

Laughing Fish2 votesApple products are expertly made, and are far more polished than their competitors. And since there is far less variation, everything has been optimized for them. Simply put, Apple products just work. What you are doing when you buy an Apple product is giving up some functionality in exchange for elegance.
So you have to ask yourself which is more important, a device that is far more powerful, but also has more problems as a result of that power? Or a device that is less powerful, but has far less problems? This is why I have a Windows PC, as I want one functionality on my PC, but I have an iPhone 6 Plus, as I don't need that much power for a phone (I mostly just listen to music and browse the web on it), so I went with ease of use and elegance instead. When you need power, avoid Apple. When you don't need power, Apple is a marvelous choice.

I think that's an oversimplification. They're not 'more polished' than their competitors... they just offer more pared down UIs to make them look polished. I'd argue that Android and IOS are about equally polished, and the only difference is who you'd prefer to deal with and which interface you prefer. For me, there's no more degrading experience than dealing with Apple's 'geniuses' or whatever they call them... so I'd rather retain my dignity and deal elsewhere.
