We live in very different bubbles if you see common users being the most sticky Mac users. Almost every common user I know, with the exception of a few students, consider Macs ridiculously overpriced and buy <£500 laptops. Apple are moving further away from them users by increasing prices, and I think they'd rather they buy an iPad pro anyway (though I've never heard anyone non-technical say they want one).
- diego_moita 10y ago> We live in very different bubbles HN is a North American bubble, mostly Silicon Valley. Apple computers are a thing only in North America and parts of Europe.
- wiz21c 10y agoJust out of curiosity : do you know what's "the thing" in, say, China or India ?
- tomtheelder 10y agoWhile it doesn't tell the whole story, just looking at things like sales numbers and user agent stats gives you a pretty good idea of the relative popularity in different areas. Apple just has very little presence in some of these places, _especially_ for desktop.
