>What interests me more is why does this stuff keep happening in Apple’s name? No one comes out and says this crap about Samsung, Google, Nokia, RIM, Microsoft or any other big name in technology. It’s all Apple, all the time. Err what? I've seen this happen to every company on that list. For example, lets take Nokia. Three months after launching the Lumia 900, they discounted the price on contract at AT&T from $99 to $49. This led to a huge cacophony all over the internet with a lot of publications reporting "Nokia discounts phone by half", totally ignoring the fact that it was on contract price, so the price discount was closer to 10% and was totally normal. There was no such hype when other Samsung, HTC etc. phones were dropped in price as part of the normal pricing cycle of such phones. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnol... Nokia, RIM and Microsoft are some of the most beat down companies in analysis and news. The "news" is universally junk and has more to do with attention grabbing headlines and flamebait, regardless of the companies involved. I think the author is suffering from a huge selection bias. |
