Of course but DO NOT BELIEVE that you can make something of better quality than a hundred billion dollar company can do.
Apple has lots of legacy code, you know, when you see instant vector graphics in apple maps, Apple is using decades of software done by dozens of genius programmers over time when efficiency mattered(for example for drawing fonts on the screen). This code, then, became accelerated.
Apple bought a hardware semiconductor company that designs specific hardware for them that makes for example instant photos or slow motion video, or hardware acceleration of playback(which makes battery last way longer than anyone else).
Apple sells millions of devices and this means they have access to a supply chain and prices you can't get. period.
If you want to compete with Apple, do what Apple will never do:
- Add the option to replace the battery and RAM.
- The option to use it on sunlight, like Pixel Qi.
- Make the hardware open source.
- Make the case also open so people can 3d print it or mechanize or whatever, like a Harley Davidson.
- Make it rugged so people can use it in the beach.
You have to find your niche in what the big boys will never care to compete or just scares them.
Forget about lesser cost, your prices need to be way higher than Apple because at first you will be selling thousands st most, not millions.
I have a company. I don't care if I have to spend double or triple what an air cost if it solves a problem no body else solves(and it makes me money). I spend 50.000 or 60.000 dollars in some machines(because they give me lots of money back).
- tarminian 12y ago"Apple sells millions of devices and this means they have access to a supply chain and prices you can't get. period." How does that explain the higher cost of Apple products?
- DanBC 12y agoi) they tightly control the chain thus demand higher quality ii) every business wants bigger margins. Either increase price of product sold; or reduce cost of making the product; or do both.
- rifung 12y agoI don't agree with the premise that Apple products have a higher cost, at least here in the US. As far as I can tell, if you want something similar to a Mac you'd have to pay just as much if not more, and it's honestly hard to find something that can compare. I think if you only look at the "computing relevant" specifications it might be possible, but what I think is much more difficult to find is other products that offer the same quality for the other things. For example, I haven't been able to find another laptop that can offer the combination of good battery life, keyboard, screen quality (not necessarily resolution), and trackpad. They are also quite nice looking although that's subjective obviously. If you know of another laptop that has all these things please do recommend it as I am looking to upgrade soon! Preferably Linux compatible =]
