This kind of article is the reason why Apple is doing so well. Competition does not understand why Apple works so well.
They see that Apple has good design so they add colours or mimic the shape of the product they try to emulate. It comes out half-assed because design gets tacked on as an after-thought.
They see Apple as a marketing company so they put millions in marketing a product. The products are what market themselves for the most part.
At the end of the day when nothing else works they decide to add stickers to every laptop to show people how superior their laptops are over the competition. "Made for Windows 7" "Intel Inside" these stickers say. But they all look ugly and on laptops they get in the way.
Marketer: "Sir the stickers haven't been very effective!"
CEO: "I know! Emboss them so they're more apparent!"
Now competitors will start saying that it's a pricing company. I love how this is going.
