Its that time of the year again. Happens every time. Luxury electronic brand Apple announces their next series of overpriced, mostly re-used technology. And the world reacts in surprise to the new price. But not before they drool over the new design features. And sometime after that, the general public split into two. The fanboys and those who cannot afford to be fanboys.
Every year, there come articles where in 'experts' sit and debate as to why the new prices are exaggerated. Thats its not worth it. And how it is the best time to buy the previous version of Apple devices, which have just become a tad more affordable. Indian media is full of such articles. Its pathetic, how the media publish articles which they know people will search for. With the ever-falling Indian rupee, and heavy taxes from the government, the devices are now are as expensive as what was once the price of the cheapest car in the world.
Indians on twitter and facebook continue to rant the overpriced devices, creating new memes and trolls going into overtime.
I hate this, mainly becauses it messes up my news feed this time of the year. For some reason, google thinks I would be interested in these kind of news articles. I am not.
Grow up, Indian media. With only a 2% market for Apple products, that is a minority to cater to. India will always be the prime market for cheap Chinese products.
So what else can you get for over a thousand US dollars ? You could get a short term work visa to Australia for less than 500 USD !
Now ain't that something worth investing in ?
