You spelled it wrong. It's iRon. Gotta keep that Apple i brand.
An "magic wand"!

I call it the Apple trap, not the ecosystem
It's like being stuck in one of those crazy prisons in Escape Plan.
What is an ecosystem? It's 2024 not 1990. The rest of the tech world is interconnected for more than 30 years now.
@@ventsislavminevexcept for apple. did you not watch the video you are commenting on?
@@boyeatsworld-vr9ci Question was meant the be ironic. Also "the rest of the tech world" excludes apple.. Honestly I don't understand how people still fall for the ecosystem trap. The only explanation i have is that you've been an applevictim your whole life and you don't know any better.
@@ventsislavminevTo be fair, the benefit of the naked system is that everything works out of the box together with zero effort. Sure, you can create your own pseudo-acosystem by using apps like KDEconnect on Android, but frankly, almost nobody does that. Apple understands that convenience is literally the most important thing in tech. They also know what the average user doesn't care about. Then they abuse that and the rest of the industry are followers because it's more profitable.
Plus, the battery life on their laptops shoots on everyone else's laptops, and that's kind of the most important thing in a laptop. Sure, you can buy a more powerful Windows computer, but it will probably have a worse trackpad or screen or speakers. You know, the things that actually matter when using the damn thing. And if you find a Windows computer that has speakers, screen, and trackpad as good as a Mac, it's probably going to cost way more and have way worse battery life.
I hate Apple, but to their credit, they understand consumer psychology better than every nerd online.

That's not new - I know that since my 1st "PowerMac" 30 years ago. 🤨
"Think different" is Apple way to say "Be dumb".
yeah, same category as: Alternative science, alternative math, alternative facts and so on.. people who are too stupid to get a grasp of reality (because it's complex) feel proud and superior to others
Sounds indeed like Trump's "alternative facts".
I just discovered this channel a few days ago.. and I have to say... this is the most entertaining channel i've seen in a while. everything is so SPOT on.
absolutely amazing content. one day you'll break trough and reach a million. I promise
make sure to watch some of the vision pro videos, especially the videos after every product launch, it’s SO HILARIOUS 😂😂
You realise this a parody content right? Parody doesn’t necessarily need to be true. It’s all for little giggles.
This guy is hilarious. Comedy gold
The day I bought my current laptop, I disassembled it and replaced the RAM and HDD with superior hardware and got the equivalent of a system that would have cost me hundreds more brand new, but I paid a fraction of it buying the computer second-hand and using parts I already had from salvaging other units. And that's why I will stay with PC architecture and never, ever go with a Mac.

you know this was a very longform way of saying "because you idiots keep buying it, so why would we stop?"
It is amazing that they can do that without putting a fancy badge on the computer so you can flaunt that you got the hidden expensive upgrades. :D I mean in true Apple fashion, what good is it when you can't show it off?
A extra fiddy bucks will you that badge. Plus another fiddy to install
This is something you should not let people know, i mean if you want to be respected as a fellow human being i wouldn't tell anyone. best keep that one to your self.
Used to be an Apple fan. Phasing out all Apple products of my house now since they claim 8 GB RAM MAC is equal or more than 16 GB RAM PC. They really think consumers are dumb.

i have a 2012 macbook pro.. it had like 4GB of RAM and a slow hdd... i was easily able to replace it with 16GB of RAM for $20 on amazon... and an SSD.. and it's insanely fast compared to what it was before (before it was basically unusable) at the huge cost of.... 30-40 doll hairs. apple would probably still charge $400-500 for this type of upgrade.
1000$ for that
RAM make money printer go BRRRRRRRR at Apple.
Seriously though it’s like pure profit for them. I understand the business perspective of putting low amounts of storage in their hardware as they want you to pay for iCloud. But there’s no iRAM subscription lol. Just put 16GB in by default at the current base price and your competition wouldn’t be much competition.
Should have been smarter and steer clear away from apple grift. Instead go for Asus ROG, Dell Alienware, Acer Predator, HP Omen etc. I don't game a lot no more but powerful gaming laptops are amazing for any purpose
@@Frank_KimonoWindows laptops are trending towards the same thing. Super slim and everything integrated, no upgrade path available. Besides, an M1, M2, M3 Mac is actually a good platform compared even to other high end or similarly priced windows laptops, BUT, THAT 8gb ram default is a joke, and it has no upgrade path available unless you upgrade at the beginning.
@@ruekurei88 fortunately SSDs are still mostly replaceable and prices for more RAM are much more reasonable (except surface devices)
If Sam won't consider anything other than Apple he has to buy one anyway and keep making videos to vent his frustrations. I love my linux.
Hello fellow penguin 🐧, freedom is good ain't it? 😀
what distro? :3
I installed Linux on my old Macbook and it works much better now
@@mathman0569 I personally like Manjaro w/GNOME DE in traditional layout, as they are already supporting Wayland composting, you get access to the AUR if you want/need it, and it does not roll as fast as pure Arch from the official repos, so there is less of a chance of things breaking before pushed out.
My other go-to is Solus Linux, as it's very easy to use, it's Simi-rolling, and lightweight with Budgie DE, but for some reason a recent update caused my old Lenovo Thinkpad X140e to freeze up once it gets to the login screen, so I put it on Manjaro as well, hopefully release 4.5 fixes this, but I've not had to time to check it out yet.

if you buy some apple shit nowadays you deserve that prices, for being dumb enough. I had a great time working with a MacBook Pro a few years ago, but it was provided by my former company. I'm not paying that amount for a closed system even though I could buy it in cash no sweat
I just bought an open-box (like new) Asus M16 from Best Buy for ~$610 after tax. Was only missing the paper sleeves for the laptop and charger in the box, and the regulatory compliance booklet, hilarious big discount for those small details. i7-12700h, rtx 3060, 16gb dual channel ddr5. I swapped the one socketed memory stick for a 32gb module for a total of 40gb now, and upgraded to a total of 3TB of NVME gen 4 between the two slots. Total cost of $800 for everything. Runs lots of VMs, and I'm having a much better time running networking labs for school while on the go with that big 16:10 screen :) Plus it games very well on wall power in my (sadly rare) free time. I won't buy another macbook unless Apple pays for it, and pays me on top of that at this point. But if you're listening, Apple, I'm willing to negotiate 😂

At this point I am convinced people buy Apple products only so that they can flex on how much they were able to pay, rather than the technical capabilities and services/support.
So true. Thank you for highlighting it
the EU is taking notes
Tim Cook is such a soulless and passionless robot.
The actual reason that only applies to iPhones, Macs and iPads: Resale value and longevity. But yeah, charging 60hz for $799 and $899 and charging their items (wheels and cloth) for expensive prices has to be a joke.
If you notice🤔it seems that the peoples distain for the company and it’s products are only compounding year over year and at an ever quicker rate as well. One would think they are aware of this and know how this business model is going to lead to their abrupt demise. Yet they plow ahead as if they don’t at all. I’m curious to see five years ahead because at this rate I don’t think they will around in ten.
Plenty of rich suckers to fool, Apple will be richer than ever.
They've just launched the Vision Pro, and the profit margin will be massive on it.
@@StardustLegacyFighter Right now, windows market share is the lowest ever and apples is the highest ever. While Windows is still dominating the market, the 2 lines are diverging quickly. It will be interesting to see where we are in 10 years, but it's the flawless eco system that will keep many of us like myself stuck in apple world. Windows is catching up in it's OS flaws, but most windows laptops have everything soldered on, not just macs. And android phone makers are starting to serialize their parts too, like samsung. By the nature of supporting hundreds of different hardware processors and chip sets, I don't see android and windows ever getting as seamless and easy to use for the average user. Errors on mac drivers are rare, because it is gatekeeped and has fewer hardware variants, while windows driver errors are common. Yes, they are getting better, but it's just basic probability. If there's 150 cell phone boards with different combinations of chip sets, the probability of issues are higher than when there's 5 or 6 chip sets in use at any given time (apple), and the new chip-sets are mostly an extension of the previous, making issues even less likely. Even if you can ensure all of the different features exist in android that all of the different models have, you will always end up with a lot of bloat code that doesn't need to be there for your device because it doesn't have that feature. This is in part why less ram 4gb of ram in apple can be better than 8gb of ram at the same clock speed and generation on a windows or android device.
Still a lot of rich fools that keep buying apple products, sadly not everyone is aware enough
@@heyaisdabomb Yet for all the problems you list with all the phones and PCs I've had even if I just go since smart phones I've never had a single issue and don't know anyone who has. Some cover all and one covers their own. Different systems. Apple as I said elsewhere almost went under with the closed system. They're relying on brand loyalty (partly force) but unlike then when Ipod/Iphone saved them, they've got nothing markedly different from others. It's not enough.
that's just wrong, mac os marketshare is actually growing

One of Sam's best!
With all the humor aside, this was accurate! Its important to put the word out! The companies do their best to make sure we dont own what we pay for, by giving us less and less control over it. You cant really swap a battery these days since the phone knows its not genuine "for your safety". Well than fucking sell the technicians your batteries! Or us! With no special contract that takes your rights!
People swapped batteries on their own and it was just fine!
Thanks sam!!
It was also to ensure that the phone would be "water tight". They trying to trick us like they are doing us a favor.
It's no coincidence that Apple have more money than they know what to do with.

Have to state, you nail these apple ads. 😁
I got my first Mac when the M1 line came out; there is a lot to like, but yes, memory and HD space are priced way out of line. At the time, it would cost me a little over 2300 for a new PC, and I got the M1 for 1100, so it was a win. So now I still have it, and I will need a new computer later (2 years from now), but I don't know if the current price trend will continue on a Mac or if I will get a PC again and still pay a ton of money. Great video, btw!
Pc will last forever and with upgrades can go for a good 5-10 years easy
Well, Yes and NO, Yes, you can upgrade your PC all you want. I had a monster case for 15 years, and that was the only thing that wasn't updated, So when upgrading a Video Card, I would need a new Mother Board, but why, because then the bottleneck would be CPU. Now I also need a new RAM stick, which costs. If I wasn't, video editing could be cheaper; I don't play computer games anymore. If I did, I would still have a PC. Also I had my first PC back 1988, also always did my upgrades myself...So, if you think I am an Apple fanboy, you are wrong. It just works better for me at this time in my life, but it is not for everyone. Lastly, I never said PC was going away! @@aaronstorey9712

So, Apple's money maker is the (soldering) iRon.
Apple pricing strategy is video game micro transactions but not micro
Apple wouldn`t be the highest valued company in the world, without these huge profit margins. Well, second highest valued company now, but with some price increases, they can make it back to number 1. The customers will love to pay to those premium prices.
On the contrary, price increases would outprice a section of the market, specially during this difficult times, and thus decrease demand. Apple stock is precisely losing potential value due to concerns of a downtrend in iPhone demand. Investors value the company’s growing and loyal user base beyond the profit margins as they are more accurately correlated to growth potential

Other than the extremely obvious exaggerations, this video is spot on. The example of how they dangle a sexy $1299 Macbook air and tempt you up the upgrade path to $1999 is completely true. A lot of how they do it is by putting only 8gb of ram in their "cheaper" models ("cheaper" being "under $2000"). There is simply no way around upgrading to 16gb if you want this computer to last at all down the road other than a soldering iron and a crap ton of skill, tools, and specialized know-how.

I've explained to many people that things cost what you will pay for them, not what the "fair" price is. If you could eat Taco Bell and crap solid-gold turds, you'd be selling the turds at the daily spot price for gold, not what it costs to eat at Taco Bell.
This is why "price gouging" isn't actually a thing; things cost what you'll pay, driven by supply and demand. If you can convince someone to pay more, then that's good for you and bad for them.
'driven by supply and demand'
And sometimes driven by consumer stupidity too.
That's a very wild example, and i love it xD
"This is why "price gouging" isn't actually a thing; things cost what you'll pay"
That is a non-sequitur. You're confusing is-statements with ought-statements. Prices are considered gouged in reference to a standard of fairness that exists independently if actually applied or not.
That's one thing about Media (Songs, Films, Videogames) I mean after the INITIAL outlay, the costs for printing/duplication are minute. Especially where it comes to digital goods.
At least physical things have SOME intrinsic value (The value of what they're made from)
Also if you could eat Taco Bell and crap solid-gold turds, it's likely that at least one other person (if not almost everyone else) would be able to do so too. Then the spot price for gold will be only slightly higher than the cost of eating at Taco Bell.
Capitalism is about making profits not fairness. If there is no cartel nothing is stopping another organization from stepping in and undercutting the 'price-gougers' to take away their business. Agreed in practice its often not that easy.
Apple continues to be most successful anti-consumer company in the world.
They'll continue to make shit loads of money, because there are plenty of suckers around to buy their overrated products.
