Rather than a trick I see it as reputation, they've earned by creating cool products. But yeah one has to doubt even the best brands, not all products are perfect.
- randomdata 15y agoIt is part reputation, but beyond that, a loud fan is normal when the user is doing extraordinary tasks. Of course the circumstances of operation are going to come into question first. If you had a flat tire, the first question is going to be what did you run over, not what manufacturing defect caused it. There's no trick here.
- pacomerh 15y agoAgreed, in these cases of course, fans operate loud, but the point in case is that the brand has created people who just consider the user making mistakes, they don't even accept a failing product from apple which could be kind of arrogant.
- randomdata 15y ago"they don't even accept a failing product from apple" I don't think that is true at all. - When the battery life on the iPhone was dismal, Apple was first to be blamed. Nobody even questioned user behaviour. It was Apple that was at fault full stop. - "Antennagate" was mixed, but a significant number of people immediately blamed Apple for the antenna design. - The leaky iPad screens were Apple's fault from the start. Nobody blamed the users for that one either. In this case, a loud fan most likely is a result of the user. If it were a PC made by a random vendor, the same questions would be asked first.
