Apple is a company. A company is designed to make profits. They make products and market them in a way that works. It really isn't fair, then, to make accusations about Apple regarding the features of their products and frequent releases of new ones. The people who we should be worried about are those who blindly follow the company and buys every new product. Key word: blindly.
And no, not all Apple consumers (lol, pun) are mindless fanboys, but many are. If you're going to point fingers, at least point them at the right group. It's the customers themselves that cause Apple to market this way. They now have a strong consumer base, so they have the money and resources to release products so often. If they were a much smaller company, this would not be feasible, as the revenue coming in would not be worth the extra revenue and time spent towards developing a new product.
Apple caters to its customers (for the most part), and thus they are successful. Really, it is stupid to blame a person or entity for valid success.
I bet less than half of the people complaining about retina have actually seen it in person. Going from standard screens to retina is a huge and noticeable difference. Youre doubling pixel density while keeping the same screen size, giving everything an extremely clean and sharp look. I hardly ever see any square pixels unless I'm zooming in on pictures. Text scales as well, so you never see any aliased text.
This is also true. Yes, I know that there are non "retina display" monitors out there that may have the same resolution, but they aren't very common, and are very expensive. Many laptops don't come with such a display, so it's actually quite nice that Apple includes it. I like to remain unbiased when it comes to most things, especially computers, and I must say I have an appreciation for their "retina display" technology on any and all devices. You people are getting waaaaay too upset over a name. That's all it is. A
name.
Please, if you're going to make an argument, back it up with reason and logic, and try to keep it unbiased. People will take you much more seriously of you do, and they may even begin to see it your way if you explain yourself well enough.
