Apple must be making a killing....

Regardless which side of the love/hate Apple side you sit on, their attention to detail is simply extraordinary and blows away the competition...

Certain words get auto-affiliated. When clicks happen and purchases are made, NSC earns a few pennies to drop into the hosting piggy bank.

How many apple products do you have?

excluding my business I personally have two ipads, 1 iphone, 1 MacBook Pro, 1 iMac, 2 ipods.

Am 'i' mad or does everyone know have at least three Apple products?

PS this is NOT a look at me thread.

Mug!

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Apple products are so bloody expensive, I honestly have no idea how they've become so ubiquitous.

Good marketing.

Chuckles aside chums, can we stop this before it deteriorates please

I didnt say it was. What surprised me was how many goods from one company I own and I guessed the good people of NSC would too.

I had an old ipod with a hard drive when they were fairly new, probably about 10 years ago now, put it in a see through case, that was pretty cool.

Had an iphone but would never buy one again, could barely use it without a jail break it just used to piss me off.

I have always built my own desktop computers. If I had a mac laptop the first thing I would do would be to put something unix like ubuntu on it.

Hate they way they lock down their file system and take power from the user.

Good marketing.

But still...

The proof of the quality and desirability of these prodcuts is to check out ebay and see what the prices are for second hand ones. They hold up remarkably well...

Agreed, as I said earlier if you don't want control of your Apple products then you'll love to own them. Personally find them terribly restrictive and a lot of people own Apple products without even realising why.

I'd love an iPad 2, and would certainly consider an iPhone, but they cost a fortune.

They don't though.

iPad: All of the big manufacturers, like Motorola and Samsung, who have tried it on with Android tablets have struggled to match Apple's iPad pricing. Pricing which genuinely shocked most industry observers when announced. Some of those tablets have become cheaper post-launch as they've struggled to sell in any kind of volume.

iPhone: When I looked the other day the iPhone rival Samsung Galaxy S2 was not far shy of £400 if you wanted to buy SIM free, the iPhone 4S starts at £499. The iPhone 4, which is nearly every bit as good, is £429.

And the thing with Apple kit is it holds it's value like nothing else. Compare the resale value on an iPhone a year from now compared to that Galaxy S2 - I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't more than made up for the purchase price differential.

What can't I do on my MacBook Pro and Mac Mini that I might want to do?
