Apple : No Reasonable Person Would Believe Our Ads

[carmicael]

I think that's why most pinoys are too ignorant about the MAC because they are really ignorant. Hahaha. Don't you know how much headache PC's are? Mas secure ang mac kaysa pc.

i've never had a headache with my PC. that's for sure. well, that's just me.

But to go back to the topic... advertising is advertising. You don't really see it literally.. it's like saying something but really meaning something. I guess unless you're a mac user or are familiar with the mac flatform, you wouldn't understand the meaning behind that statement.

point taken. advertising IS advertising. the bad thing? they lied. not that no other company does that, but they seem to be exaggerating much. but, then again, commercials are supposed to be exaggerated. haha. i'm running circles.

and yeah, we're not just talking 'bout macs, we're talking about apple's entire product line.

when it comes to customers believing apple's claims about the iphone and its other products, though, maybe they shouldn't be so quick to believe them, according to apple.

their ads were removed from UK for FALSE ADVERTISING. hm... ??

well, anyway, apple's products are great, they have style, and are all capable, it's just they're well over-rated.

cheers.

I guess there's a reason why perhaps you say they're over rated. The fact that windows users are far vast than mac users, I guess they're out to prove a thing. That's business. Anyways, I see lots of college students at the University where I work here in the US who prefer mac than the PC. They usually have mac laptops, but their lab computers at the University are PC's. A few professors prefer macs. There's one department in Public Affairs they all have macs, not one help ticket for years. LoL. PC users? Especially those who have Administrator rights? Tsk tsk... I spend hours running antimalware because of trojans. See... there are lots of windows users who are less aware of the threats on the Web. However most mac users are not very ignorant. That's just my observation.

^don't get me wrong, i'd get a mac someday, (if ever i'll have cash to burn), but for now, i can't, and i won't. macs are for a specific market. the fashionable class, or some of the multimedia elite. but this is getting out of topic.

nothing changes the fact that APPLE products (not just macs) are over-rated. but they're cool products, no question.

cheers.

over-priced would be more appropriate. its still a PC, though (ha! there goes marketing, again)

mac haters are just ignorant about the subject reason why they say PCs are better than Macs. they don't even have Macs themselves.

not that we hate macs. it's just hardcoded.
we want freedom, upgrades, customize, overclocks, fix-on-our-own hardware.
software compatibilities, programming platforms, standard "Computer knowledge", games.
and speaking of games - we want to play games with our friends who doesnt have macs.

these are just some of the reason why we dont like macs.
it doesnt mean because you known mac that you are better than us,
and those mac-user-pc-hater who claim this are also ignorant about us,
the reason why they think mac are better than pcs is because they claim they think they know us.

It's like comparing apple and oranges.
Apple is Apple, and pc is ...well... fruit salad.

im not saying pc is better than apple or vice versa. both are great, they just dont work together.
and pc lovers and mac users will never agree with each other.

The issue here is that apple is the next "Microsoft" bully. their aggressive deceptive advertising is making a lot of their customers very unhappy. Worst, according to apple, those people who believe their adds are really ignorants.

good for pc lovers, microsoft have not claim that vista-capable are not ignorants.

This tread is just another sorry excuse to condemn apple from an uninformed point of view, which is just getting old and an embarrassment to this site.

First off isn’t this belong to “Gizmos & Gadgets”? The kind of off tangent ramblings people get into are simply stupid. As for the article, it simply exposes the constraint on the network that they partnered with. This simply means that if only AT&T can keep up with bandwidth you get the speed Apple claims. Apple just don’t want to jeopardized their partnership by passing the blame to AT&T so they are taking the heat.

The hate here is from hobbyist and gamers who want to impose their way of thinking which apple is simply not. You are barking the wrong tree; you get a certain type of experience that that windows tried to copy badly. The way it produces its hardware are simply the result of well thought of design, not beauty for beauty sake. Anyone who has a background in design will recognize this. They enjoy far more customer satisfaction than any other computer maker. They are the R&D of the computing world; they have more coherent UI philosophy stretching back to 1984. They know simplicity & elegance this is by no means the same as flashy. Apple speaks to more creative people which understand how they work and think and the result are being consumed by everyone who enjoy music, movies, design.
People just want to get work done and not be bothered by endless interruption of maintenance, protection of their data and inferior packaging. Granted that Apple commands a premium in price is a valid reason why people shy away from it. But it is by no means over rated and over price.

The insecurities are really apparent the way this haters portray mac users and the quality of reasoning they use. None of these people have a substantial exposure or experience to make a correct judgment. Me? I first worked in a windows environment and wanted to know more what’s out there and got into Mac and have since worked on both. No one is proclaiming that all mac users are superior and therefore are snobs, I’m yet to find a reason to be or someone who is.

So stop this nonsense, and think before posting (you know who you are).

guys have you even read the link posted?

Two iPhone commercials were taken off the air in the UK for false advertising, after claiming the iPhone could browse all the web (it can't) and showing it loading webpages faster than it really can.

the issue was about the iPhone. not the whole Apple.
