Apple iMadness

[Omer Said]

Isn't it really strange? Something like a ritual for many people it seems. They probably even don't care about whether there is any significant difference between 5 and 5S. Is this just to show people and boast like "Hey, i have the latest iPhone, you don't? Poor boy..." ?? I really wonder how could Apple achieved this attraction, and made some people it's worshippers.

I think attending a dancing ritual in an African tribe would even make more sense than camping for a new iPhone for days in the street. You at least do some exercise there.

I have no problems with people using iproducts, just these crazy campers and people hyper-over-exxagarating the value of them into extreme levels.

What do you think? Are some people turning into brainless consumer zombies?

it's called Apple iExploitation 2.0
(while 2.0 stands for bidirectional ... developing world vs. industrial world)

Apple has done a really good job hyping up iDevices.

You pay half the cost for that little logo, without which most normal people wouldn't give their products a second glance compared to Samsung etc.

coming back to my prior message...

a iPod Nano 16 GB 7G costs ca. 149€
a representative of Apple told me
that roughly 90 percent of these 149€ wanders into the Apple Logo
and 10 percent into the device itself
