Higher point of entry. With the Razer/Blade, lower entry point. So less resistance to enter into the eco system.
I’ve never been this early in my life
Canโt wait for the 16 pro max. Iโll send the $1199
Na 2,199 ๐
first time being early
Never paid for any music on my old iPods . Pirate Bay Bay!
yeah but now you donโt own the songs and pay a flat rate
The best razor-and-blade example is Gaming consoles. Most of them are loss leaders, when the real profit comes from controllers, accessories, and ganes
real profit there is the online service – those greedy ….
I remember feeling ripped off at $1/song
Okay but that price is better than paying for stuff today…ipods should come back
Apple supports their products for at least 5 years so I don’t mind paying a bit more upfront. At least it’s not a silly subscription (unless you go into debt for a phone).
WOW, 5 years and then they sabotage it with every update.
Sure, android might not have the same support but at least they don’t screw u over on purpose and need the same financial planning as a car to afford.
Reverse makes sense because a lot of people had lots of pirated music, or deep physical collections that they could rip for the ipod. Selling hardware at a high price allowed them to make a lot of money and stay above water without relying on iTunes store sales.
Now, most music is digital, but it wasn’t the case when the iPod was released.
This works especially well cause Ipods were considered a status symbol. You don’t get the same swag for flashing your razor.
Ever since the ipod, Apple went to the moon.
And this model forever changed the music industry ๐ญ
I Buy Apple stock, and use an android phone ๐ ๐ with the money I saved I bought 10 shares back in Aug 2020, which are up 62.32% go Apple ๐ !
If someone has 8,000 songs purchased at an average price of 99ยข plus tax (so near $1.05 – $1.10), then thatโs an investment of $8k ๐ฎ
