Are Apple users the nigger loving cucks of the technology sector?
>>
Apple just goes to where the trends are and niggers are trending
>>
>>55364220
First - sauce.

Second - Beats is a mediocre, overpriced product. iPhone is a mediocre, overpriced product. They are meant to be together, as they cater to the same group of people. From a business perspective, Beats was a perfect purchase.

lol, /g/. Yes I'm sure slave owners were all nigger loving cucks too.

nope, niggers are just good consumers senpai. they are too stupid too buy good price/value products or services.

The processors are faster than anything in Android devices and the OS is much more optimized to the hardware and overall better designed. Seems like a good trade off.

Nice factoid but what does this have to do with Tidal?

>>55364301
Putting a V8 in a mini cooper is pointless

American niggers and wiggers are the only people using Tidal.

Lol a Mini Cooper with a V8 would be ridiculously fast though.

>>55364279
but it's "retina" which clearly is better than anything else. It literally is perfectly made for eyes, hence the name. How can pisspoor android cucks never understand how perfectly apple makes for humans - not for droids. It's all in the name, man.
Plus, iPhones are for people who actually care about what impression they make on others. How can I walk the street when people think I'm a nobody android user?
>>
>>55364257
It's a 2-year-old tech sold at a premium price.

Still sounds like shit if it's an uncompressed master copy or 76kbps mp3.

I pay for Apple Music and it's worth it because I can just go right to the song when I discover a new artist seamlessly instead of find a download or search for them on you tube
>>
>>55364220
Well, the shit is trending and they need to use their tax free billions somehow. Also why Apple or Google can't just buy one of the big right holders already to stop the bitching about copyright from them.

>>55364342
Nigger what? The tech inside an on year old iPhone 6s is objective superior to everything Android threw at the market by now sans the camera (still one of the best). The only aspect where other phones can keep up are screens.

I assure you none of the engineers were niggers. They just got nigger spokesmen to sell to all the nigger lovers. Learn how marketing works you fucking dweeb. It's like when they get a stupid ass pro gamer to put his testimony on a box and saying how they were apart of the process. Bitch you think some 18 year old mountain dew chugging faggot knows how the fucking lasers even work in those mice? No, they fucking don't. They just use a laser that avago already created in a fucking factory in east Asia and added a new shell to it. Then they sell said mouse to your CSGO playing ass so you can pretend it's why you ranked up from Silver II you fucking scrublord.

remember when Apple introduced the retina meme and /g/ shit on the idea of high density displays on a phone as a useless gimmick, and now a phone that doesn't have at least a 2K display is literally unusable?

The 6s don't bend, stronger aluminum and supports were added in the s cycle update. I've been using my 6s since December with no case and going strong. So either they never bent I with regular use and people lied and bent them on purpose, or it was fixed.

Not to mention the nexus 6p and Galaxy s6 also bent

If your phone does not have a glass screen, it might crack, but not shatter.

>Still waiting for an example of something that's worse on an iPhone than an android flagship besides the camera.
The OS's respect for a user's freedom to run any god damn software they want

Apple had it figured out fine on OS X (just disable gatekeeper), but since "phones aren't computers" they pulled the wool over the publics eyes and demanded that everyone who dare run anything not explicitly approved by apple buy a mac and a dev license.

Sadly, stock android only lets you have that freedom if you use a language that makes objective C look good. So I'm not sure if it's actually better.
>>
>>55365256
The screen, nigger. OLED is masterrace.
Problem is that Android phones are lacking in every other aspect.

fun facts about Tidal

>used to be a Norwegian company until JizZ bought it

>#blm went apeshit cause there was almost only white people and no blacks in the company (this is Norway, we keep our monkeys in the zoo, and we only import some sandniggers for entertainment and ridicule)
>JizZ tried to sue old "Tidal" because he felt the company was overvalued
>too bad Norway doesn't let retards sue anyone for stupid reasons like in the US

pic related, Norwegian HQ of old "Tidal"
>>
>>55364220
Apple is just trying to corner the streaming market. Apparently Tidal has become a viable threat.
>>
>>55367173
Because jay-z gave shares to artist in return for exclusive content. Also record labels like it more than the others because they charge $20/month and give higher royalties.

Lol I live in sf. There's tons of roaming black dudes here, especially fucked up drugged ones. I had to go to school in an extremely black neighborhood.

And roaming groups of anything are dangerous. I've seen roaming groups of Asians that are scary. I've been attacked by a roaming group of white people.

A fucking roaming group of corgis could be dangerous.

iOS. It's the Year Of Our Lord Two-Thousand Sixteen and the goddamn thing still can't act as a mass storage device. iTunes is a garbage fire. Also, you can't customize the home screen at all or install unauthorized apps without jailbreaking. These are unacceptable for a fucking $600 computer.

People pay for music streaming? How is that still a thing in this day and age? My phone has 64GB internal and a 265GB mSD. Hell all three of my cars have USB and even my USB drives hold entire libraries of whatever you want. Plex can stream my whole library from home including movies and TV or home vids. Cloud is a meme as is music streaming.

I bought a couple of ZTE Zmax 2 phones for 60 dollars. Removable battery, microSD, quick charge 2.0, band 12 support, and 5.5" display. Pretty good kit for the scratch in my opinion.
>>
>>55368269
Yep, ZTE T815 here. They make amazing budget phones, wouldn't trust any other Chink brand at this price point except maybe Alcatel.
Feels more premium than most Samsungs I had like the S5 and S3, it just has really shit specs (still manageable for social media, calls, messaging, etc)
>>
>>55368303
Alcatel = TCL. Agreed ZTE makes a decent phone for the money. The Axon doesn't look shappy on paper either. I'd buy a ZTE over a Xaiomi or Huawei. No big OS changes or radical launcher alterations as of yet. Decent hardware for the money.

Spotify and Google Play Music (and more?) can save playlists of music offline. You're not just paying to stream music, you're paying to rent their entire library of music.

If they already have what is arguably the best music streaming platform (the UI in spotify is SHIT) why would they buy this memey streaming service which nobody even knew about before kanye went full retard?
>>
>>55368911
Same reason they bought Beats, too much money they HAVE to spend somehow and nice brand recognition/PR.
>>
>>55368930
At least Beats made more sense than this, as it diversified their brand a little with headphones beyond the bundled earbuds.
This is just retarded tbqhwu
>>
>>55364220
>Are Apple users the nigger loving cucks of the technology sector?

they need to buy users from companies that do streaming.
>>
>>55368949
It's not like it would take them much to make similar or better headphones than Beats, what matters is the logo. Same here.

Besides, Tidal got exclusives so it would further push their "we're different and special" image.
>>
>>55369000
I think Beats hurt their image quite a bit as well. Even a lot of normies know that they're overpriced shit headphones. It also hurts their image with the upper middle class and above who look down on people that associate with filth like Dr Dre.

It's the same reason why high end fashion designers continue to snub Kanye. They don't want to be seen as the clothing line for degenerate rap niggers.
>>
>>55364970
That's the sim card tray you dimwit

>>55365162

>>
>>55369086
Beats definitely had downsides for their image but I'd say the avoided the worst by presenting it as a separate brand and not something like "Apple Beats by Dre" or some shit.

No idea about the image of Tidal beyond JAY Z and EXCLUSIVES but given the nature of it, they could just absorb the company completely in Apple Music. Whether it's a good idea or not, simply depends on the price. After a quick googling it seems to be valued at 250 million, so it would be barely noticeable costs for Apple either way. Specially if you consider the risk of somebody else buying it.
>>
>>55364319
Busrider pls go

WTF are they doing?!?!?

How about LOWER YOUR FUCKING PRICES instead of plowing money into these ridiculous fad brands.

WTF can Jay Z or Dr. Dre teach Apple about RUNNING A TECHNOLOGY COMPANY? Apple doesn't know how to set up a music streaming service on its own? Doesn't have the reach and brand recognition to attract customers?
>>
>>55364624
Huh?

You mean 1080p on full-size laptops? That's still relatively low DPI.

Near as I recall, the iPhone 4 was the first 'retina' (really high DPI) phone. The iPhone SE, 6, etc. have the same DPI and it still looks great today (anything more and you're deep into diminishing returns)
>>
>>55364857
I saw some comparison on YouTube, and the iPhone 6S is harder to bend than the SE (which most people would consider a brick of a phone).
>>
>>55369574
But what if you fall on a jogger out of a very high building? What if some hungry Murican confuses it with a burger?
