I'd say their DX is way better compared to the competition. The playground, tooling, and web experience with documentation is far superior to the competition (even tho it has issues sometimes). User experience is key in a sea of the same shit.
I mean you could say the same about a Macbook or iPhone/iPad, but for the actual people (not HN users lol) out there, they vastly prefer Apple to HP, Dell, etc. Due to their wallet some can't though.
There are literally thousands of other laptops that do the "same thing" (computer for doing shit).
Those who say otherwise are usually broke and know deep down that given proper purchasing power, they too would prefer to use a $3k Macbook Pro than some POS Dell.
Same with android.
Everyone knows it is cope based on PP, it is just in poor taste to actually call it like it is (idc)
- hattmall 1y agoApple had innovative products that they went very heavy in brand based fashion merchandising. In addition they were a legacy brand with a generally favorable reputation and solid recognition. They built a strong moat based on those characteristics and finally hit the mass market non-tech target demographic with the most widely used emerging technology since the personal vehicle. Apple did this while successfully merging a hardware, software, and marketplace platform. OpenAI has some interesting software but has an incredibly long way to run and extremely unlikely path to becoming anything like Apple. Not only that, they are in a market that a lot of the general population finds questionably valuable if not outright unappealing.
