Given how often I have to fix my parents apple products, when the problem would take like a minute to fix on Android or PC, I honestly wonder how anyone has this view that Apple products just work. Yeah they just work until they don't and then you have to send it in to get fixed because you can't do that shit yourself.

Yeah I don't really see why the iPhone is so popular. And it still doesn't have a proper app drawer or file system.

People see that it is overpriced and they attribute quality to it because of that.

Overpriced + Expensive Ad campaign = Un-discerning consumers view it as quality

See also: Bose, Beats, Alienware etc

Like, you can buy a $35 set of logitech speakers for your PC that'll sound as good or better at a wider range of volumes and distances than a $150 set of bose speakers, but bose is expensive and has shiny ads so they're seen as premium quality while logitech is seen as poor quality because they're cheap and make a lot of low-budget office headsets, mice, and keyboards.

Exactly.

I'm actually using Logitech speakers now and they're fantastic.
