I think it's hilarious that people will buy an iPhone, iPad and Macbook and not realize the only thing that's different about them is the software. Any restriction is manufactured.
edit: apparently I've upset some Apple users. I apologize. My point was that the features each class of device has is manufactured to ensure you buy 3 products instead of 1 while the hardware inside is essentially the same. Like restricting touch and pen support isn't about hardware limitations; it's about getting you to spend. If you're happy with a company that does that you, then hey you do you, but don't get upset when that fact is pointed out.
I'm sorry, but I didn't realize that the phone that fits in my pocket is the same as the fourteen inch computer that lives on my desk. And the 1500 nits screen on my MBP is exactly the same as the 500 nits screen on my iPad Air. Fuck you for treating me like a dumbass. I know what I'm paying for.
I'm not treating you like a dumbass, Apple is.
you're not treating him as a dumbass but he sure is acting like one. And I say this as a fairly big apple fanboy with a macbook pro, ipad and iphone. :-)
