Nope, that'll be why they're the planets richest company

Microsoft.

aramco is worth at least three times apple. Faggot.

they're only big because of hype and people wanting to fit in. Their products are shit and forcibly made obsolete as per company policy.

yes

SAMSUNG

oooh you got REKT.

so they claim, but they've always been privately held

everybody knows Saudi Arabia is running out of oil, which means Aramco is running out of oil, which is why they're selling it off now that it no longer has real value to idiots who think it still does

>not microshaft winblows.jpg

Their marketing is incredible so the brand is great. So great that they successfully convince people to overpay for sub-par merchandise with planed obsolescence.

>Saudi is running out of oil
Not they're not idiot.

It's all make sense now.

> forcibly made obsolete as per company policy.
What did you mean by this?

well, you can believe the Saudis or you can believe everyone else, faggot

dude the whole fucking planet is... or did you think oil is some magical infinite resource?

OnePlus
Sony
Xiaomi
They're better than Apple in phone markets. Android is simply better than iOS.

As for personal computers, both windows and linux are better operating systems.

The only thing Apple has is decent hardware on phones, that's literally all.

No one thinks that Saudi is running out of oil moron. Only you do.

No one is running out any time soon but yes it's a non renewable energy source

>subpar desktop OS
>subpar mobile OS
>overpriced shitty desktop hardware
>overpriced okay-at-best mobile hardware
Really makes you think

They plan for their products to be obsolete so people have to shill out hundreds of dollars for the next model. Android puts out updates until such a time that your hardware can't support the new software (still getting updates on a Galaxy S4). If you want new software for Apple, you gotta get a new device. Same thing goes for their computers. Sure, windows eventually goes obsolete as hardware capabilities outdo software, making new software needed, which old hardware can't handle... So yeah, other stuff goes obsolete besides Apple, but Apple is the only company (to my knowledge) that makes things obsolete on purpose just to rake in more money by making you buy the new brick they just invented.

No that user, but he means that they plan ahead so that whatever you buy will be obsolete within x time. This is usually when the hardware you own no longer matches up with anything new so you're forced to upgrade to whatever new model and you can't even sell your old one because it's no longer compatible with anything.

Damn, didn't know that. That's pretty sneaky shit by Apple

Fag

how many times have you reformatted your microsoft OS?
and how many times have you reformatted your UNIX based OS?

it was said a long time ago: by the time apple products arrive on a shelf for purchase, they are already obsolete.

...

>how many times have you reformatted your microsoft OS?
Literally none.
>and how many times have you reformatted your UNIX based OS?
Literally none.

CBA to read this obvious bait thread, but fuck Apple. In the USA where it's easy and safe, they're all, "Stand up for LGBTP*XYZ rights! We stand for Freedom and will not do business with any repressives!" And then they turn around and yank VPNs from the Apple Store to mollify the Chinese government so they can gain market share.

Man that's fucked. I'm glad I stuck with Android, happy with HTC

hi there, you must be autistic

>you dont reformat a OS

you reformat hard drives (partition space of file sys yada yada).

That's not all they do either. They'll have "certified repair centers" and not even provide the necessary tools needed for actual repairs. Damn near every problem you'd take an iPhone or iPad to a certified center for, would result in them saying you need to buy a new one, or fork out $700+ for them to send it off to Apple for repair. There's a guy on YT that knows how to get around their BS and charge half the price.

lol samsung is from korea

So?

hard to discern who is fighting more for your useless data
china, russia, or the NSA

Had no idea apple are so fucked. Why do people love their products so much

hahaha really? you must also be from korea.

Pin dick detected

Stupid people love stupid things. The trick in life is getting stupid people to fork over their money to you.

I take it we are making a clear distinction between the Apple brand and the Apple company.

fashion, hype, social pressure, it's not that people love the products because they're the best (they're not), it's people being brainwashed into thinking they're the best, and afraid to say otherwise. When he was still alive, Steve Jobs was a genius, not because of skills at making things, but at marketing skills, he made Apple look glamorous, like you needed his stuff to be popular.

>applefag doesn't know how computers work
Like pottery

Plus he was a notorious shithead who practically abused his employees and fought tooth and nail to avoud having to pay for his bastard child. I'm glad he suffered in the end.

replying to myself here... but, quite literally the only thing that I would ever say Apple does better than any other brand is Multimedia. It processes video editing, music editing and other sorts of media quicker than others. Usually the graphics editing software you use on a Mac has native Vector support, instead of simulated vectors in a system designed for pixel based graphics. So yeah, they've got that, but everything else is shit.

nobody knows what the fuck youre talking about, dude.

Hate to say it, but... Nintendo.

Wallet rapists occasionally, but meh

Are you illiterate? I can tell what he's talking about.

Honda


Toyota
Intel


Coca-Cola


Amazon


Maybe not in value but at least the above doesn't force insane pricejacks along with their brand.

don't get me wrong, if you like Apple, cool. You go fork out money, get yourself an iPhone and enjoy it as much as it'll let you. But they're most definitely not the greatest there is, and you shouldn't go around saying they are, getting pissed at anyone who disagrees. Apple is the only one of these companies who makes the proprietary OS for their proprietary phone/computer/tablet. Samsung makes phones, but at most, they customize the OS a bit for their product. That's why multiple brands carry Android, only Apple carries iOS. Android is open source, making it easy (and inexpensive, if not free) to tweak it, and make your own apps... iOS is locked down, making apps for it is a bitch.

lol no. you dont know what illiterate means.

That was true like 10 years ago and it's become a meme. All major editing software is as good on a PC as it is on a MAC now. Do you think PhotoShop is going to shit down their software for Windows?

Says the guy who says "nobody knows what you're talking about," when it's pretty obvious what he's talking about if you simply read the fucking post.

>pottery
you are right

>I do not "reformat an OS" so the commie boogiemen are trying to take my data

you are correct, i like you

And magnets

It's still true today. PC systems are based on the assumption that everything has just a simple X,Y pixel value. Mac utilizes the full XYZS vector system. Yes, PC version of Photoshop has all the same features the Mac version has, I'm not saying it doesn't. What I'm saying is that because the vector system is native on a mac, it takes less time to process that information than it does on a PC. Dude, belive me, I'm a PC fag, I'll take windows over any mac system any day, but I also know from experience in multiple graphics courses from college and work experience that Mac just does multimedia better. It pains me to admit it, but it's just true.

can we be friends?

>XYZS vector system
This? msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb204853(v=vs.85).aspx

Are you saying that this is a limitation at the hardware level? Cause otherwise I don't see why the same logic can't be coded into Windows software.

I read what he's talking about, it's a bunch of nerdy garbage nobody cares about, you little bitch.

Why would you choose windows over Mac system?

Faggot

hahaha

>comes into a thread about computers
>complains about "nerdy garbage"
Are you lost? I think there's a WWE thread around here that may be more your speed.

It's not a thread about computers, you dingus. It's a thread about branding and marketing.

lol nobody cares about vectors or whatever calculus nerd shit he's talking about. fuck off back to the other site that starts with R, you people are ruining Sup Forums.

similar, yes, but not 100% the same, also that's part of direct3d, which is part of DirectX. DirectX is common software, but not PART of windows. Therefore, not native. What i mean by native is that processing XYZS vector values is something already integrated into the graphics processing software incorporated into the mac's OS. It's not outside software introduced to add support. Since it doesn't have to run the numbers through another program for processing and output, you get the results quicker. Also, I don't know the name for it, but for anyone confused, there is a difference between XYZ and XYZS, the S is slopes and curves between points in a vector, which on a PC are calculated separately. On a mac, they're calculated as part of the vector itself. But goddamn if I know the name of the system...

Branding and marketing of a tech company in which people are discussing the technical differences between them and their competitors, which by nature will entail some "nerdy garbage." You feeling alright buddy?

better support for it, and I can upgrade my own system without fears of bricking the damn thing. If I wanna replace or upgrade a part in my computer, I can, I don't have to go buy a whole new computer for updated features.

The fuck are you talking about fag

wow you just seem to think youre always right. it's a weakness, you need to accept it and move on. nobody cares about your bullshit about vector derivative whatever crap. go to red it, you dont belong here.

Talking about vectors is just from talking about the only benfit mac has over pc, graphics. Which given the fact we're comparing pros and cons of each brand to determine which is better, I would say is relevant information. So how about you go crawl back under your rock, draw some pixel titties on your TI-83 calculator, shut the fuck up and leave the actual important talks to those who know how to discuss things besides "hurr durr, it's popular so it's better"

...

.... How much faster could this possibly be

I saw a brand on a cow once that was really cool

I'll have to take your word for it for now. I'll do some research into this later. I didn't find anything when doing a quick search an I've never heard of this difference before.

>apple
>great
Is there a brand more overpriced than apple?

Why? Because it's to advanced for you to understand?

Someone finally mentioned Coca Cola. Thank you.
Was beginning to wonder exactly how retarded people in this thread are, since Coca Cola as a brand on any day of the year will curb-stomp Apple, wait a while and then dance on Apple's grave.
Like the fizzy, brownish drink or not, Coca Cola is the supreme brand of this planet, and OP is such a fucking Apple-fag. Literally.

Valve
might be the most profitbale company (per employee and expenses)
Cargill
is amongst the biggest non listed companies meaning their value is not based on shareholders and liabilities

youre talking about the product, not the brand. fuck off, nerdy douchebag. youre too autistic to understand why the more popular brand is the better one, youre too obsessed with how it works, not how people respond to the product.

It's a lot easier to market something that homeless people can afford.

It depends on the complexity of what you're doing. For shit in Photoshop, the Z value of the vector is pretty much always zero, because you're designing a flat image. So processing speeds are pretty much the same. It's when you get into 3d rendering that there's a noticeable difference. Using Maya on a Mac, versus using Maya on a PC. Let's say you've designed a 3d scene that contains... oh... I'm gonna lowball it and say it has 2 million triangles in the final render. On a PC, that render might take 10 minutes (depending on how good your shit is), versus on a Mac, using native support for the full XYZS system, it'd take only 6 minutes with comparable hardware. The more complex the graphics you're rendering, the more sizeable the difference.

no, because youre not talking about the brand, youre talking about something else.

>hey guys, lets talk about which brand is better: mcdonalds or wendys
>oh yea, I love the new artisan crafted sandwiches from mcdonalds, theyre the bomb!

that's you. youre the one that doesnt understand the conversation.

a brand is only as good as their product dipshit. Fuck hype, fuck popularity, the question is which is greater, not which is more popular.

Ok, assuming you're correct, I'll throw this in the pot: You're using comparable hardware in your example. Since Apple hardware is much more expensive than PC hardware, you could get a much more powerful system for the same money, thus speeding up the render time.

the more popular and profitable brand is the better brand, autist. that's how economics works. sorry your technical prowess makes you so deluded.

And piss-poor third-worlders as well. What's your point? Coca-Cola still beats the shit out of that useless excuse of a "quality" company Apple.
Coca-Cola is so extremely, globally popular in fact, that even the Nazis lamented not being able to drink it during WW2, which is why they invented Fanta. I repeat: they invented fucking Fanta, because they missed Coca-Cola so much.

Go fuck yourself with your over-designed mediocre-quality, over-priced, fruity electronics. Coca-Cola is the true American super-brand.

Holy shit! You have absolutely ZERO idea of how marketing and the ad business works. The entirety of the ad business is to make your product look better than it is and get people to feel like they must have it. An advertising firm doesn't give a shit about whether the product is good or bad.

I also get updates on my iPhone 5S, which was released on 2013, on par with the Galaxy S4. iPhone 5 and lower were dropped out of the loop because they have 32-bit architecture, whereas iPhone 5S onwards does 64.

Good luck trying to get your S4 fixed either if something goes down on it. Apple drives a premium price on their whole package with all the authorised resellers/repairs but the longevity and value of older devices go on a whole different level than some shitty Samsung phone.

Also Apple is a lot more than the phone they sell, they stand for semi-affordable luxury information technology and innovation in making the IT world friendlier for the common dude. Samsung sells cheaply made plastic shit on all price ranges and "SMART" devices with horrible performance on anything but the highest luxury models. They're just unreliable altogether and Samsung pushes a new phone out every year that's the same shit on a different day.

Plus they're Korean

I thought freedom was America's super brand.

On paper it looks good, but in practice, it doesn't always work out that way. Yeah, you can close the gap a bit with a better GPU, but for some reason, the mac is always gonna squeeze it out just a little bit faster. I have no idea why, and couldn't begin to explain something I don't know about, it's just experience. So if I'm doing graphics, I use a mac, and try to hold back the vomit the entire time. Everything else, PC me please.

if I could watch webm on apple I would get an iphone. except I cant, and I need to be able to watch porn on Sup Forums, so I have the samsung.

>semi-affordable luxury information technology and innovation

Stupid question,
Harley Davidson.

>ishit
>luxury
are you nigger?

guess what kind of phone rich people use. it's not from korea...

>horrible performance on anything but the highest luxury models
That's because they actually have a few price levels.

I used samsung as an example of a platform for Android, but not saying they're a good brand. Android is the part I'm raving about, not the phone.
