Alright lets do this, line by line!
Don't have too much to add besides this. But OP may be one of the dumbest posts I've ever seen here, which is saying something.
Thank you, it is truly an honor to be considered by the nomination committee. I'd like to thank G-d and my wife for bringing me to this day (sorry for the sarcasm, but when you come at me with such harsh words.....)
Samsung literally used all of these things to advertise how they were better than Apple, and in one fell swoop they killed external storage, magnetic payments, and a charger. AKA, all the things that made them beloved and unique.
I couldn't agree more! A massive PR blunder to be sure. The progression is not too hard to see though:
Apple removes outdated tech>Samsung mocks Apple, gains a few cheap retweets and PR points>Samsung realizes there is a reason Apple made said decision>Samsung removes said social media posts>Samsung mimics Apple's move.
This isn't to start a whole Apple vs. Samsung battle, your opinion is widely known.
Why would I have anything against cutting edge technology? I've used a smartphone since 2002's Samsung i330.
I couldn't agree more! I got a click-wheel iPod Video for my bar mitzvah!
I fail to see how killing off features makes something cutting edge.
Well moving forward does necessitate leaving behind outdated tech, even if it once made sense. I'm sure adjusting to not having a Home button was difficult at first as well. Or a disc drive on your computer. Crazy ideas a mere 4-5 years ago.
Having SD storage doesn't hurt cloud storage, it's just a money grab for more onboard memory and cloud subscriptions. Battery technology didn't improve by making it non-replaceable, it just helped with planned obsolescence.
I don't agree. I'd argue that the hardware necessary for an SD card slot and removable battery housing aren't worth it to placate the few users who still demand such features. And the planned obsolescence argument is rich coming from an Android user with their, what, barely three years of software updates?
Comparing Tesla to Apple is asinine.
I don't believe the comparison to be asinine, a quick Google search will bring up many concurring voices. Simple arguments can be: slim offerings in the name of knowing what is best for the consumer and forcing them to pick from those few options, sleek showrooms that don't include pushy salesmen, and vertical integration, among others.
Elon Musk is as anti-Apple as it gets.
How is Elon Musk anti-Apple? The guy literally uses an iPhone and preaches privacy as a core tenant of the internet...
He listens all day long on Twitter to customer feedback and incorporates it within days. I've fired off several suggestions that were adopted.
Thats great. Elon's PR prowess is unmatched.
For example, he doesn't pretend to know what's best and lock you into it
I'd argue that point heavily. One of the clear parallels between Apple and Tesla is their relatively small line of offerings compared to their competition. They both only offer 3-4 different models, while the competition offers whatever specific customization and flavor tickles their fancy that month.
I'd say that constitutes pretending to know what's best for you. And I say that with utmost respect and appreciation of that ethos, I agree with it 1000%!
so you can drive you car in ICE, creep, or the new excellent hold mode that I helped make happen with suggestions from beta testers. After I suggested a geolocator to know that your car shouldn't lock itself in your garage, he added that. Same for viewing dashcam on the car's screen. Don't like your car changing lanes on it's own when in auto-pilot? You can customize that and decide what you want, not what Apple thinks everyone wants.
All great and novel ideas!
