IPhone X is coming Welcome to 2015.. Marketing is key, not value.
<h2>When an old school company with US government support comes out with new features, you re phone had 2 years and you pay for it.</h2>

And now you're probably wishing you didn't pre-order.  Understandably.


**iphone is king of marketing** but you weren't going to buy it for it's feature or abilities you wanted it to **be one of the cool kids** but really you're taking a step back in time.  Enjoy your iPhone X.  I will enjoy you having it more.

I just saw this on FB and was going to post it too, haha!

I'm looking forward to seeing what else comes out in the next 12 months or so. 

The RED Hydrogen is the one that interests me most at the moment.

Nice.  I'm so glad BB tech is now available to any Android phone.  It's still going against all odds, but hey, they got best features for people who love a secure phone.  Till then Im BB all the way!!

I didn't know about that, must have missed the memo there. :-P

The RED is Android based, so that gives it another advantage in my eyes. I'm just waiting to see one in person before buying. The holographic display sounds great on paper, but I want to see it with my own eyes before committing. (It might look horrible IRL haha).

You can also pay less than half the price for a better device today. Some people don't know any better.

People HATE to see the hard statistics, right? There are a lot of folks who would look at this, experience brief cognitive dissonance, and then basically just go ..."fuck you!"

But I do have to provide one counterpoint - my Macbook Pro from 2015, though overpriced in many ways, is a *beast* in terms of durability. It runs as well as it did the day I got it, 2.5 years later, and still handles all of my audio engineering software without any issues.

That and the lack of viruses have kept me on the Mac train for now... but even so, I'm not sure if it's really worth the premium.

Apple does make quality products, of all my friends that use the macbooks none have complained aside from the price. And it is less likely to get viruses which a huge plus.

This is what I knew would happen when Jobs died.
This happened to Pear back when they fired Jobs.

The bean counters and marketing think its their company.  And they really stifle innovation because they believe it is just man hours.  They don't understand the long shot or have a feeling for which long shots will work out.

All they have left is customer loyalty and the solidarity of the interface.  If more of what pear is doing with customer information gets out their users will flee.

But, what is mostly keeping pear in business?  There is no real competition.  You either get pear OS or you get Boogle.  Both are in bed with the govern-cement.

BB is great, but, in my eyes they are only a tenth of the way there.  I am waiting for a unix based phone.  And then I hope for some really security.

Yea, it really sucks pear lost its drive to be more than what it currently is. Surely there must be some wise folk still in the lab, hopefully they give more duties than coffee runs. 

Bb is great for me now. I do miss some of the functions from my Sony i had before.  However bb is selling their tech to be used in any Android phone. I think HTC is using bb security in one of there models now. 

If Unix based start coming out i'd give it try.

Marketing dollars at work to make X for Expensive. Very much so if you asked me but then I heard Xiaomi also coming up with phone north of $1000.
