In this example the Mercedes also costs the same as a Honda, right?
Look, Apple sets expectations super high, and to a certain extent that's their fault. But they're also innovating like crazy and, unfortunately, there are bound to be some missteps. Would you rather they slow things down a bit? I wouldn't.
- blhack 16y ago>In this example the Mercedes also costs the same as a Honda, right? Well...I can buy a bare-bones AT&T go phone for $15 outright...so no, not at all. Howabout this: the BMW that costs the same amount of money not only doesn't have the problem, but doesn't have the restriction where only other people with mercedes are allowed to ride in your car.
- confuzatron 16y agoAh yes, good point. A Honda that shut down if you touched the steering wheel would of course be met with relaxed shrugs from owners.
- tptacek 16y agoBecause that's what happens when you touch an iPhone? The phone equivalent of what would happen if, hypothetically, Honda shipped a car that "shut down" when you touched the steering wheel?
- confuzatron 16y agoNo, but apparently according to the original apologist comment, a faulty Mercedes is okay if it costs the same as a Honda. Do you agree? I think 'lalalalala omg not listening - nerrds!' would be a more credible, mature response than some of the fallout from this antenna issue.
