Why do I use iOS and macOS?"},"content":{"rendered":"

In Brazil, those who use Apple products such as Iphone, Ipad or Imac are called Burgu\u00eas Safado. Unfortunately Apple has become synonymous with the brand, where people use their products to show off, taking their true merit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see that most people in the middle of digital marketing use Apple products, not least because they have a lot of money and don't even mind buying a product at the official Brazilian store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is undeniable that the prices of apple products are well above the competition. You can be sure that nobody likes it, but abroad people just don't care because it is a small difference for their pockets compared to the people who live in Brazil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u2013 Why do I like Mac Os? <\/a>\n\u2013 My iOS experience<\/a>\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Are we paying more for less?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately yes, there are no excuses, whoever buys apple products is aware that they pay more for less. It makes no sense to pay 4,500 reais on an Iphone XR, since abroad it sells for 750 dollars, which is equivalent to less than 3,000 reais. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With about 1,200 reais we can buy a Chinese brand Android with finish and hardware similar to the Iphone or even better. Nothing justifies paying 4,000 on a phone, even more so in a country where the minimum wage is around 1,000 reais and there is no security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Android phones with similar hardware that are sold abroad cost about $ 300, while the top-of-the-line iPhone costs almost $ 1,000. It remains expensive compared to the competition, but the person does not feel injured as in Brazil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a Galaxy S10 costs 500 reais and an Iphone 1,000, even if the samsung is half the price, paying 1,000 reais on an Iphone would not be bad for your pocket. This is the reality of foreigners and the rich, it makes no difference to their pockets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

a X-all<\/strong> it costs half the price of a homemade hamburger, and usually has many more ingredients. Still, they are two similar things, but different. Many prefer to eat an X-tudo for the price and because it is bigger, but others prefer the handmade ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same thing happens with its other products like Mac and Ipad. Abroad you can buy a new Ipad at the store for less than $ 350. It is as if you were there at the street vendor and paid 350 reais on a tablet, although there are 150 reais. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion the Ipad is the cheapest part from Apple, while the Iphone is the most expensive and insecure part. Still, apple offers premium products at a very high price, such as its accessories and computers that cost at least $ 1,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its high cost, when using Apple for a long time I guarantee that my savings and profit was much higher than if I spend my money buying products from another brand, later on you will understand the reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Apple so expensive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many claim that Apple profits about 40% from the sale of each device. Other surveys say that Apple profits only 20% from the sale of each device, while the other brands of android phones usually profit about 5%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I firmly believe in 20% profit, as shown in the video below. The other cellphone brands only need to worry about the manufacture of the phone, every operating system is open source, in addition to being managed by Google and not by the manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazilian finds a daughter of the pot the company to profit 20% while the others profit 5%. Have you ever stopped to think how much companies in Brazil do not profit on your back? The profit of street vendors and shopping malls on products exceeds 100%. A basic example is the cell phone cases that cost 0.50 cents and sell for 15 reais. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
