Ah, well, the most irrelevant place from a company compared to the actual product development.
Thus, no wonder everyone sees Macs as fancy toys just to show off instead of doing actual work. The times from OSX under G4 being a really good system for A/V and press/journalism production are long gone.
It can be, but any Windows or even some Linux machine with Krita and some medium A/V tools with some -rt kernel with Pipewire can destroy OSX on performance.
Ardour is no joke and people has tools like DavinCi.
There's no need to spend $4-6k on a Mac Pro any more.
Pick any high end Nvidia card with hardware encoding/decoding and A/V producing can be trivial.
If OSX it's just a tool do bullshit presentations, OSX it's doomed in the desktop.
The iPad it's everything else. It's really good at handwriting, and it's really good for students at uni doing tons of writtings and notes, and OFC for painting and photo manipulation.
You are demonstrating and perpetuating bigotry and prejudice.
Who uses them does not matter. What they use them for does not matter.
You claimed there were no Apple users in Europe. That is a blatant falsehood. Now you have explained why you lied: because you admit it was a lie and that there are lots of people using them, but you think those people are not important, and so you ignored them and did not count them.
I am not interested your value judgements. I may even share some of them but that is not important. The point is that Apple kit costs more because Apple doesn't make budget models and doesn't use cheap cut-down components like Celerons and "Pentium Dual Core" and other budget junk.
Apple costs more. So Apple is bought by or for richer people. Management and marketing make more money so they get more expensive toys.
I am not arguing if this is right or wrong. It isn't relevant. The point is, it sells, it's used in large numbers, and as such it's commercially important.
