Pretty sure I've worked out what your booze fuelled post was about.



So fitbit sold more fitness trackers than Apple sold Apple watches. Surprise! And your reluctance to post a reference is likely due to the fact that it's great news for Apple.

im yet to figure out how every single article is great news for apple even if it shows less sales?

Rolls Royce sold less cars than Hyundai, is that a bad thing for Rolls?

Turbohot

I have to say that with all the flaws it comes with, I find Apple technology the best so far.

JackClark

Sensible. As we get older we start valuing different things, things like time, good service and consistency are more valuable than games, stats and saving a few quid.

Turbohot

I agree.

There is no gimmick with Apple. yes, they personalise everything, but it's slick, smart, fool proof and the best technology. Even my 74 year old mum thinks it's better than the likes. So easy to use, and hardly ever lets you down. It's at least 20 years ahead or anything else in the same field going. Most distinctive, very sexy, most creative and no competition when it comes to its smoothness. We have all sorts of tablets at work and at home. The best feel and the best performance is of the iPad, no comparison!

the bracelet isnt a gimmick either ?

come on

JackClark

It's nothing like a gimmick, I don't believe they suit everyone, but no way would I give it back. Not only does it tell the time it also saves me time and that's more important than the peanuts it cost.

Tidgy

duck me, your buying expensive peanuts

Turbohot

No, sir.

Gimmick's definition is: a trick or device intended to attract attention, publicity, or trade.

This is not what Apple watch is. It's a facility; of course a luxurious one. For the ones who'd like to carry almost everything on their wrist. It doesn't promote itself via tacky adverts to get mass attention. It knows it has a limited market, and it doesn't thrust itself down your throat. Superb technology, take it or leave it.

There is no trick, there is no game, although Apple has changed the game in the field of communications technology.

Hey look, it gives impression usefullness/sporty and it looks nice
And that's what counts to a fanboi .
Nothing wrong with that

JackClark

I wonder if you come across as a bit troubled in real life or it's just a keyboard thing.

Turbohot

These are your prejudices, and that's fine. We all have our prejudices and preferences.

My mum loves her new iPhone 5 compared to the Samsung S4 she previously had .

Turbohot

Exactly. Foolproof, as I say. It doesn't mean all mums (including me and mine) are fools, btw.

My daughter unfortunately doesn't like Apple products due to them personalising everything. But she has her iPad, and she uses it all the time. She never wants an iPhone or an Apple laptop, and sticks to her Galaxy notebook or whatever it's called. I'm sure she'll convert. Son was also with the thought that iPhone was just extravagant and unnecessary. He was the first one in our family to get an iPad, and that converted him into an iPhone owner as well. Their dad still knocks about with some Nokia, I think. The old bean needs to keep up!

I was the first one in our home with the iPhone. I haven't looked back since then.

MODS ALERT!! MODS ALERT!! I think Jack's hijacked Turbohot's account!!

Turbohot

No, he hasn't

I've always liked Apple as the the best one so far, even when I accept that it has its flaws.
