I honestly think this really hurts them - I used to be able to tell people "Just buy an Apple, it won't be cheap but it will be a fair value."
Now I have to people them what Apple models to avoid like the plague.
- 1123581321 9y agoHow many people do you talk to that were going to buy a Pro or a Mini? iMacs and laptops, which most people buy, have been regularly updated. I don't agree that it has hurt them because the obsolete lines are barely visible* to people who don't understand how to evaluate a computer purchase, and presumably anyone who understands how to shop isn't avoiding all of Apple over this. * See a Best Buy in-store display or https://www.apple.com/mac/ https://www.apple.com/mac/ for evidence of this.
- radley 9y agoI've always recommended getting a "Pro" or Mini and recommend avoiding the iMac completely. Throwing out a huge, decent monitor simply because you need more processor power and/or storage is (sorry) asinine.
- 1123581321 9y agoSounds like an opposite situation. GP's comment was about people avoiding buying the lines that haven't been updated, and you are only recommending the un-updated lines, so you aren't trying to steer people away from those old machines.
