people camping out St all night for new up releases those long lines are forming the frenzy does not seem to die down number one baby how long have you been here 2 a. m. Apple theme tattoos and of course the Apple only lifestyle I use like I mean my my laptop everything my Apple watch like I have everything is um is an apple uh it's from you know Apple but like Android I can do Apple has grown to become the largest consumer technology device company in the world thanks primarily to the success of the I phone the iPad and their profit focused BMW style pricing Moto Pro display xcr will be $49.
99 for the display itself and the nanotexture version will be $9. 99 the Visa mount adapter will be $199 and the pro stand $9. 99 this logo is somewhat of a trendy status symbol for those that can afford it and well the cult of the mech is bigger than ever got to represent he's a 10 but he has an Android what's his new rating a zero single iPhone users don't want to date someone with an Android o yeah match.
com finds out that Apple iPhone owners are 21 times more likely to judge others negatively for having an Android I guess we can all agree that all of this seems a little absurd doesn't it the Apple brand has come to represent more than just Tech as we know it it has become a status symbol of sorts those that have it flaunt it I have an iPhone and those that can't afford it want it you want an iPad yes I'm sorry but you can't have iPad could Apple possibly be one of the greatest Tech products ever created probably not depending on who you ask regardless everyone is lining up for a new iPhone 15 or bugging their mom for a new pair of Apple airpods Mac what's the secret what is the secret behind Apple product anous growth in sales why does app or remain one of the most sought after smartphones what does it even take to be considered a luxury Tech brand and Ted by celebrities this is a game changer influencers and of course how could I forget the Kardashian wnab bees I have an iPhone as well it's harder to connect oh true with an Android person their phone's green all the time and it just feels weird I'd like to believe I have somewhat of a healthy relationship with tech and Tech technology brands in general including Apple without bias or perversion I'm more of the idea that let the best product win a ton of us out there would probably go to Great Lengths to ensure that every piece of tech in our lives is Apple branded even if it means avoiding other devices that might offer better functionality or value I have no intention of slamming app or its products or anything heck I'm an iPhone user myself and as someone who enjoys the occasional Apple product I understand the alert I guess I'm interested in why this particular brand has us all hooked and hold on before you Fleck criticism is Blas for me I'd rather we call it an unbiased opinion piece I'm as much an apple consumer as I am a Sony consumer or a huawe consumer well maybe one thing that I'm not is a member of the Mac card it's not Apple so it's I wish Apple made clothes I will buy anything with an Apple logo on it I wish Apple made barbecue sauce I am a huge Apple Fanboy I wish Apple Made condoms we weren't always obsessed with gadgets before the 1970s technology was far from the Sleek devices we carry today I want you to think more typewriters and rotter phones well let's just say it wasn't the iPhone so where does all of this begin Paul as soon as microprocessors became available companies jumped on the chance to make personal computers some sold computer kits that required soldering skills While others produced polished commercial products it's more accurate to say there were several companies in the 1970s that brought PCS to Market including MIT imsai tandi TRS artery and Apple Computers the Apple 2 was actually Apple computer's first commercial product yes there was an apple one but it was just a computer kit that Steve watnik built to show off to his fellow computer hobbyists so who is Steve watnik you ask Steve watnik is the co-founder of Apple computer and the technical genius who designed the Apple One a computer he later refined to create the Apple too the other Steve you normally hear about an Apple related Press today Steve Jobs was wsn's friend who had just enough technical knowledge to be a sales guy and so Apple computer was founded by two Steves unfortunately neither Steve had the money to start a successful computer company that's where multimillionaire Mike marola comes into the picture Mara an experienced businessman invested 250,000 into Apple computer and handled the business side of things to make it successful his strategy priced the Apple 2 well above the competition providing a larger profit margin this allowed Apple to spend a lot more on marketing and cosmetic features like the computer case Mark ker figured out that people would be willing to spend more money on a computer if it looked good and was marketed aggressively and guess what it work this is our millionth Apple 2 computer and that's why it's gold and a million sounds like a large number but you remember number one you remember number 100 um this is number a million of the Apple twos and that'll probably seem small in a couple years then came the Revolutionary Macintosh with cases moded with the signatures of each person of the Macintosh team because Steve Jobs considered each Macintosh a work of art the only problem the Macintosh sold poorly at 2005 $500 in 1984 it was just too damn expensive luckily the Apple to kept the money flowing as Apple grew both Steves left the company wzn left in 1981 frustrated with the growing corporate culture while jobs wasn't so lucky he was forced out in 1985 after Senior Management got tired of him being well a jerk we've probably heard the story a million times imagine starting an Empire only to be kicked out of it after leaving Apple watnik entered semi-retirement he just wanted to play the guitar and smoke his pipe or whatever it is that retired Tech Geniuses do jobs on the other hand wasn't ready to settle down he formed another company NeXT designed to compete with apple and went back to hire employees from the original Macintosh team to create the next computer which launched in 1988 so while Steve Jobs was off doing his thing what was up or up to in the 1980s and the early 1990s M sure apple red in over1 billion us annually during the 1980s but the 1990s were a bit gloomy the IBM PC entered the market and quickly became the standard in personal Computing Apple was essentially a big company advertising overpriced Max and getting hammered by PC competition I know what you're thinking that I'm probably just throwing shade for no reason but hear me out the mechos 6100 came with a power PC processor to run the Mac OS as well as an Intel 486 CPU to run a Windows 3. 1 in short it was as if Apple was saying yes we know our OS sucks so we'll sell you an overpriced machine that can also run Windows to make it useful just buy it please not exactly Apple's finest Moment by 1996 Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy luckily for them Steve jobs returned the return of the prodical son if you will fast forward to 2001 and they released the iPod this little piece of tech became the hottest Gadget in the world for many years and made Apple a household name Apple was back in the game this is the new iPod map by 2011 Apple was making $16.
