You're drinking the kool aid on this one, it is about money, the whole electronics industry (and others) runs on the basis that you will replace your goods regularly. Apple has strong brand loyalty and many customers that will buy every upgrade, they are just shifting the rest of the repurchase curve up. They have never had a good reason for all their proprietary cables either, well other than gouging for them.
Oh your 2 year old laptop is broken? That's old tech anyway, you should buy a new one!
- ggg9990 8y agoThe cable thing is completely different and a clear cash grab by Apple. I mean, the Lightning cable is way better than Micro USB, but why it costs $20 is just because Apple knows people will pay that much.
- eridius 8y agoFunny you say that, since historically Apple computers maintain their resale value much better than any other manufacturer's computers.
