Apple is not always best

The new Nexus 7 is really amazing and left the mini iPad in the dust.

Nice to see the phrase "really bad planning" used in conjunction with a company OTHER than Microsoft.

Who said Apple is the best

Back in like 1992 my friend had Mac OS and it sucked it would always freeze it amazes me these products have lasted so long with people using more of a free form OS

Just because they made a few phones and music devices doesn't make them Gods :sarc:

Yes that Nexus7 is pure Delight

I am certainly not an Apple fan - far from that. But their financial performance is impressive. Have to give them that.

“Nobody ever lost a dollar by underestimating the taste of the American public.” ,Comes to mind. Ole P.T. knew a thing or two about separating marks from their money.

This should wake people up

The performance speaks for itself and with the details listed in color code hard to miss those big yellow blocks

Such an expensive product to have poor quality parts Astonished X10 :shock:

Lol, google "iPad Mini best tablet ever", and you'll find a number of reviews by major sites asying the iPad mini with retina display is the best tablet ever. So I guess it matter who you read. A Guy

The thread title should say "Apple is rarely the best".

Apple's official position: exploding batteries are "expected behavior"

Apple says the $129 battery is actually expected to fail — and we are supposed to buy new ones every year.

This is a doozy

One thing that I don't understand about Apple. Why are the products so expensive? Just because they are Apple products. They can quote any price. In India they have launched Iphone 5 for 70,000 Rupees (Somewhere around 1200$).

I really don't know how good Apple products are but I will give them a pat on the back for the expertise in marketing. What ever they make good or bad they sell huge amounts of them.

I don't own anything Apple but it seams to be the product to have if your a teenager (looking at my local ones)

Yeah right, they are like lemmings

I still say they come coated with an addictive drug. "Oh, a white version? I must stand in line for 3 days and have that"...

Yeah right, they are like lemmings

While reading your post, I just looked outside my windows and saw the local teenagers. All of them have Apple products and they keep bragging about it.

When the iphone first hit the bricks it was the best device offered by at&t which isn't saying much but if you used at&t ?
I resisted for at least two years and got a free iphone 4 it was fine and worked pretty good,
Every iso update has killed it more and more to where it's pure junk now.
ios7.2 is the worst of the worse.

Apple is not always best, one needs oranges and bananas too ya know.:sarc:

Apples with peanut butter spread all over them. GREAT.

This is really terrible these days. Everything they touch must be 'hip'. I see that with my grandchildren. Even the little ones already want 'labels'.

When I grew up during WWII, we had other problems. We were happy when we did not catch a bomb on our heads. Tough times help to focus on the essentials. We make it too easy for the kids today.
