>> [_] Anon 3347358 impressive, they manage to do this thanks to applefanbois tho
>> [_] Anon 3347361 Honestly, apple is the worst hardware business i can think of. They treat their customers like crap, and they are loved for it. Can't wait for the day apple crashes and burns. Still waiting though despite their products becoming less innovative each successive year.
>> [_] Anon 3347362 >># hurts my brain that apple earn more money than microsoft and google combined, despite treating their customers so poorly
>> [_] Anon 3347363 Apple is a designer company, not a tech company, hence why they can get away with their insane markups just because of their brand. And I can't help but get distracted by this guy's shiny head and supreme facial aesthetics despite his sound arguments, no homo
>> [_] Anon 3347376 >># >>no homo M8 do you not know what day it is? Oil up.
>> [_] Anon 3347380 tfw got a free iphone6s shame the default music player on ios11 is such an abysmal piece of shit
>> [_] Anon 3347388 >># >despite treating their customers so poorly so does microsoft and google so it should be of no surprise to ya. but to be fair, they are sligthly less backstabbing and more like idiots in their reasoning, especially microsoft.
>> [_] Anon 3347390 /g/ here comin thru with the FACTS >waterproofing a headphone jack is piss easy, just coat its internal housing with a thin layer of rubber cement. You can do this with any existing iPhone if you want a waterproof headphone jack for some reason, and Samsung phones have BETTER water resistance than even the iPhone X, WITH a headphone jack >Apple is colluding with the bluetooth headphones industry; everyone needs to buy new wireless headphones thanks to apple, and these companies are paying apple to keep the headphone jack away, to justify their existence >Not only that, but Apple is now making their OWN bluetooth headphones, including the Beats brand and AirPods.
>> [_] Anon 3347405 That is one very aesthetic guy
>> [_] Anon 3347407 >># >/g/ here comin thru with the FACTS lulz
>> [_] Anon 3347427 >># He's very handsome in a completely non sexual way. I kinda wish I looked like he does.
>> [_] Anon 3347431 >># all three have their faults but i hold google and microsoft in much higher regard than apple.
>> [_] Anon 3347435 >># >hence why "That is why why" Learn to use hence correctly you pompous fuck
>> [_] Anon 3347439 >I'm totally ok with companies needing to pay Apple to use their port Patent was made so that a company could have a reasonable period of time to sell technology they developed at a higher markup to recoup the cost of development and incentivise progress, not so that cocksuckers could "develop" a new jack every few years and then force everyone to buy rights to manufacture plugs for it. I guarantee the same year that their patent on this plug runs out they'll come out with a new, even more innovative one.
>> [_] Anon 3347451 >># for some categories of ideas patent and copy rights shouldn't exist
>> [_] Anon 3347457 >># Hey buddy I think you got the wrong thread, the leather club flash is 3 posts down.
>> [_] Anon 3347460 >># >># >># >># >># >># >># >># >># >># >># >># >># >># >># >># sorry to get your attention like this, but do any of you know a flash that's all red, with a yellow play button in the centre. when you click on play, it plays a violin song. I remember seeing it years ago, i don't know if it's popular. I swear it was called f.swf or some troll name making it impossible to find. thank you so much!!

>> [_] Anon 3231506 >># Informative.
>> [_] Anon 3231512 if they lower the quality of their product people will stop using it and they'll lose profit though because profit correlates exactly with quality :)
>> [_] Anon 3231518 >># I didn't know they could lower the quality even more than it is now but with apple who knows and even if they could lower the quality they would probably ask for the same amount of money
>> [_] Anon 3231519 applefags will defend this
>> [_] Anon 3231520 only thing i have to say about this excellent video: is it really that expensive to waterproof a 3.5mm hole compared to waterproofing the new hole? i can get that it could be more expensive but he emphasizes that it's "extremely" expensive in the video. would be interesting to know exactly how much more expensive it is, even if it's an estimate.
>> [_] Anon 3231521 I know people who have been running iPhones since their debut who are switching to Android because of Apple's greed and continued dedication to proprietary technology and royalty streams. It's typical corporate thinking: we have a loyal established user base, now we can start screwing them. And they fuck it up for everyone; those loyal users grow disillusioned and migrate, and the corporate entity then loses that loyal, established user base they decided they could exploit.
>> [_] Anon 3231529 >># This guy completely doesn't address something in this video - the headphone jack itself. It's an ancient, over 100 year old (seriously) analog standard for carrying audio information that WE DON'T WANT TO BE USING 100 YEARS FROM NOW does every accessory need to use the proprietary apple port? NO. There is another option, being wireless, which is what apple is encouraging here - that is what they mean by courage. They are trying to drive change in the industry by removing the shitty analog jack. No, I don't agree with apple's decision to do this so suddenly and to not do it across the board - their macbook's still have an audio jack. But the headphone jack used today has many downsides and plenty of better options exist already - just because it's popular is not a good enough excuse to continue using it. If that was the case than innovation would never occur.
>> [_] Anon 3231533 >># Well, they could have fazed it out, by allowing both the wireless and the jack.
>> [_] Anon 3231546 >># >their macbook's (sic) still have an audio jack. Think about it, Mackbook is a tiny fraction of their income base. Their bread and butter is the mobile device market. Where would YOU focus your gold-digging efforts? (Apple also has roughly 8-10 percent share of the computer market, so this dilutes the impact of Macbook on Apple's Pavlovian nerve as well). >It's an ancient, over 100 year old (seriously) analog standard for carrying audio information that WE DON'T WANT TO BE USING 100 YEARS FROM NOW But seriously folks, the Wheel is a pretty fucking old invention too, but it's still the best tool for its jobs. You can't get any rounder than the wheel, nor copyright it. You can only add fancy proprietary hubcaps. That's Apple's problem.
>> [_] Anon 3231549 >># >it's old so it must be bad
>> [_] Anon 3231551 >># you're wrong technology doesn't need to be replaced just because it's old. 3.5 mm is an excellent way to transfer audio, nobody hears any difference at all. even you. i honestly wouldn't care if i were using 3.5 mm 100 years from now, unless i got some kind of cyborg ears then of course in addition to everything this guy said you can repair 3.5 mm very easily, even if it's the actual plug that has broken. meanwhile apple's top secret tech cant be repaired by common people like me who just solders etc for fun and if you want a shop to repair it you bet your sweet ass they will have gotten instructions from apple to just replace it with a new one tl;dr im sick of the "it's old tech" angle
>> [_] Anon 3231552 >># >being wireless that's not why they did it, he even addresses this in the video. there's no wireless power charging in apple's products because they haven't figured out how to make money from that yet. they would have to licence that tech from a different company and despise the convenience for their customers they just wont change to this wireless technology. they dont give two shits about wireless for wireless' sake, don't fool yourself
>> [_] Anon 3231556 >># What's wrong with the 3.5mm jack?
>> [_] Anon 3231562 >># nigga if you're following this train of thought you'd have no problems with some expensive ass BlacknDecker coffeemachine having a NEW kind of AC plug because #courage and THEN having to buy a BlacknDecker AC Power Socket Appliance because holy fuck AC plugs are SO OLD LIKE HOLY FUCK EDISON USED THAT SHIT THIS IS A NEW WAY OF COFFEE DRINKING fuck you, you mindless consuming sheep
>> [_] Anon 3231586 >># >waterproof a 3.5mm hole compared to waterproofing the new hole they had to first waterproof 2 holes now they only have to waterproof one. it is less expensive.
>> [_] Anon 3231598 >># do you live in a world where wireless headphones aren't 4x more expensive than regular ones?
>> [_] Anon 3231600 Very informative and not full of a bunch of opinions.
>> [_] Anon 3231603 What a stupid fuck. How is he supportive of this shit?

>> [_] John H. Hamilton !4GJ6/C44zI 3179103 >># bretti gud
>> [_] Anon 3179127 Apart from the exact dollar amount, this is not new information. I cannot imagine that anyone would think Apple was trying to do anything other than make money. On the other hand, this might be the thing to push super cheap Bluetooth headsets to market. They might be $10-15 Bluetooth headsets, rather than $5 wired headsets, but that is not a huge difference...
>> [_] Anon 3179130 Pretty sure anyone who isn't a 12 year old apple fanboy knew this already
>> [_] Anon 3179133 >># Most people don't even invest 10 seconds of thought into anything, let alone technology. Then again, they also wouldn't be watching this video, so no one ends up informed either way.

>> [_] Anon 3158272 >># I watched this for 10 seconds then assumed it would be really unfunny then closed it.
>> [_] Anon 3158278 >># Wow, that was actually pretty interesting.

>> [_] Anon 3158318 >owning Apple products.
>> [_] Anon 3158355 >Agent 47 kek
>> [_] Anon 3158356 This I already figure. Leave it to a gay man to fuck more people in the ass. Apple bitches.
>> [_] Anon 3158359 I don't understand how this is not obvious for anyone with a brain. Plus, in EU you can't have proprietary 1st party jacks for recharging on phones or some bull, but with this Apple managed to fuck off and undermine that too.
>> [_] Anon 3158362 $500 per product is less than USB licensing fees. what a load of hyped shit.
>> [_] Anon 3158368 why is he so bald
>> [_] Anon 3158379 >># I'm glad. I never bought an iphone and never planned on it. I'm not as stupid as most of their customer
>> [_] Anon 3158385 >># orly?
>> [_] Anon 3158389 >># Cause he's the "D" we're looking for
>> [_] Anon 3158401 Why would they keep developing advanced technologies when they can think backwards and obstruct today's technologies to get even more money? But that's okay because we need more variety, right? I mean who wants to use 3.5mm jack when you can distinguish yourself with this? Don't be a sheep Be different Be better than others Buy Apple products
>> [_] Anon 3158403 Who the fuck buys all these fancy fag phones anyway. I still have the same cellphone I had back in the late 90's.
>> [_] Anon 3158407 >># remember... he only talks about CERTIFICATION FEE...not the manufactturing cost per cable made
>> [_] Anon 3158413 >># >Why would they keep developing advanced technologies when they can think backwards and obstruct today's technologies to get even more money? That's what they do now, Anon. That's what they're serving.
>> [_] Anon 3158420 >># So he doesn't leave behind any hair during one of his jobs.
>> [_] Anon 3158423 >># I haven't played any hitman games but does he actually shave his all body? I mean is it mentioned somewhere or hinted?
>> [_] Anon 3158438 >># I like browsing the internet on the go. It's also nice to have a notepad on hand, as well as a flashlight, and a calendar, and email access, and every once in a while having a camera is handy. I mean, I don't use Apple products, I have an Android. But they're all about the same, functionality wise. (Except if you like music now, I guess)
