Why?","appBody":"<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"http://cdc-s3-ejece-main.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2015/02/apple-all.png\" /></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><strong>Apple products are not a waste of money</strong>. Or if. Depending on who the buyer is and what needs he has, or what qualities he values ​​most when buying a device in this category.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>As Jota BenĂtez says, to work, especially with the models that he cites, they are amortized in a very comfortable way and have a longer useful life than other PC models that have to be updated.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Particular case, my desktop PC has undergone a complete remodeling in the last 4 years (The only thing that has remained constant are the power supply and the motherboard), which has made me invest twice as much money as initially I cost (Approx € 1,000, a total of € 2,000)</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>As for laptops, MacBook Pro seems to me a highly recommended option for people who want to use them as their main machine. I find it difficult to find a laptop with similar characteristics (or at least the ones I need) for less money.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>As for Apple phones, the iPhone is known to have a high resale value, which makes the final cost of the device less than reducing it to its purchase price. I have personally made money with all the iPhone I have bought so far, and with this plan I lose as much as € 50 in a year of use.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>The Apple Watch seems to me one of the best options in terms of available smartwatches, despite its high cost, the cardiac sensor, gps, music playback and connectivity make it completely worthwhile to me, even more than the Garmin FĂ©nix. But that does not mean it's better for someone to run ultra long distance, for example.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>The AirPods, while still expensive, I think one of the best purchases last year. There is not a day that you do not use them because they are comfortable and practical. There is no headset on the market that gives me the same functionality, although the audio quality is not the best, nor is it its function.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Other products such as HomePod, or Apple TV, also offer certain features that may be of interest.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>But it is clear that they are not products for everyone. There are people who will not value the features that it offers, and will prefer another type of device. And that is the wonderful thing about the wide range that exists today, that each user will have a device that will adapt better to him and that there is none that is universally better for everyone.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Something that is normally true is that they are more expensive at the time of making the initial outlay. And there's nothing more to say there. If that is a problem, you have enough alternatives in the market to be able to choose any other device.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>TL; DR: They are a waste of money if you do not use them or if you only buy them for the brand and not for your real needs.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p33avhvex","appParentAuthor":"bootylab","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
