Let's do an experiment. Let's strip away the logos and brand names and compare some products. I remember when Apple's hardware was innovative and had an amazing lineup. Take a look at the company's products today, without fanaticism (see fanboys) and willful blindness. The entire lineup looks stale, and seems to be in desperate need of a refresh.
Look at Macs and MacBooks. Aside from the MacBook, there doesn't seem to be anything worth buying. Buying any of these products means you're paying for very expensive devices. By the standards of technology running at 1000, they might as well be considered ancient.
Aside from the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, everything needs a refresh, which seems long overdue. The iPad Air 2 is almost two years old, and Apple still expects consumers to pay a premium for it. It's Apple's way of doing things.
Then there's the iPhone, which we're just a few weeks away from the unveiling of the "new" device. The company's latest release, the iPhone SE, although it brought features from older devices with a 4-inch screen, was very well received by the buying public..
According to statements from the company, the upcoming version will not be very exciting, as it is preparing the super iPhone for 2017, which marks 10 years since the presentation of the first device.
What's the experiment? Compare different brands of PCs, laptops, and tablets to see how far behind the company's hardware is currently.
And yet, despite its stores being stagnant and stocked with old hardware, the company is still making billions of dollars every quarter, which means people are happy to buy old hardware, as long as it has the Apple logo.
If you're not one of those who look for apples, before buying a device, compare the specs..
