Thousands of design decisions go into a product, while consumers can only vote yes/no. So a hypothetical consumer could like 1950 decisions, deeply dislike 50

Thousands of design decisions go into a product, while consumers can only vote yes/no.
So a hypothetical consumer could like 1950 decisions, deeply dislike 50 and it would still be worth it for them to buy the product.
This is exactly what's happening for Apple, their products are still good enough to be bought, but at the same time they make a lot of stupid design decisions which frustrate us.
In my case, the MBP has so many reliability issues that I would no longer personally purchase it.
- magduf 7y agoThere's more than one product out there. For phones, there's dozens of models available on the new market at any time, plus all the used ones (this is a lot since they change models about every year). For any given product, there should be other options out there that would suit you better. The problem with Apple is that people are emotionally invested into the brand; they buy it just because it gives them status (like a Rolex watch or a BMW), because they're a fan of the brand for some reason, etc., not because the product actually the best match to their list of desired features.
