Ipad
Recently we were talking about apples products in class, because of the new product ipad. The company spent a lot of money on advertisements and commercials for this new product. I, myself has an iphone, mac air and, itouch and couple ipods. After watching the preview of the ipad on apple’s website, I really wanted to have this ipad. The commercial itself was very persuasive and made me thought of getting an ipad. However, I thought about it deeply, this ipad does not work like a laptop, it does not have a webcam and it couldn’t have word or excel. It does not work as a laptop. However this ad on apple made me thought of really getting this ipad, when I already own almost everything from apple.
In other way, I think apple is ripping money off from the consumers. Such as the iphone. There are now 3 versions of it. The difference between iphone 3G and 3Gs is a better camera and the ability to have a video recorder. I’m sure apple could do better than that, such as having something like the blackberry message but just for iphone users. There are other products such as ipod shuffles and ipods which has the similar problems. I feel like apple knows the best product to produce, but they’re taking tiny steps and tiny improvements and make people buy their products. I believe that is how apple became this successful.
