Entry #10 Is Apple Scamming Us All?

    Apple has done so much for the Technological industry from producing computers with amazing speeds to phones so powerful that they compete to an average computer. The question is are they overcharging us?

    When the first Iphone released it started at the price of $199 and there was only one phone. There was no, Plus, Pro or Pro Max. It was always $199 up to the Iphone 4 then things started to turn. Suddenly the prices started increasing exponentially and now the latest Iphone 13 Pro Max with the option of 1TB of storage costs $1599. In 11 years the cost of an Iphone has gone up $1400 which is not an awful lot. 

    Many old heads argue that it is unnecessary for it to cost that much. Remember technology is a never ending goal. There is something new being released every week from a big company. We have cameras that have better lens quality compared to a mid-range camera from 2015. The battery can last up to 16 hours and can charge to 100% in under 1 hour. 

    The economy plays a big role in the prices of products form Apple. Inflation goes up, demand goes up meaning supply has to increase as well. The law of Supply And Demand.

    Its not just all Iphones, Apple releases powerful PC's and Laptops and Monitors. So going back to the question from the title. Is Apple scamming us all? No and Yes, let me explain.

    To the market that needs a powerful device and has the money and knows what they are getting then this is an obvious, No. To everyone else it would be a, Yes. It all depends what side of the market you lie on.

Entry #3 The Big Bang

        There are moments in everyone’s life where a moment of realization hits us out of no where. It could range from an accomplishment as big as climbing Mount Everest or as small as getting to work on time. It could even be a time where you tasted something that punched your taste buds and made them tingle.      The reason i'm saying all this is because this just happened to me about 1 minute and 27 seconds ago. I put this little rock in my mouth and in my head this strong breeze hit me. It was a marvelous sensation that is difficult to explain.     I am getting too ahead of myself, allow me to start with the packaging. It was a small curious container that opened up like one of those plastic cereal boxes from Costco. It was as small as a mini travel size deodorant and clear. When you shake it you can hear all the rocks hitting against each-other almost like gravel when you walk on it. Since I wear skinny jeans the corners of the package pokes through my pants and the name on t

Entry #1 Exploring Blogger

      Afternoon my Minions, today I discovered this new blog that was interesting yet peculiar. Before you hear my word let me explain my opinions on blogs. They are an underrated form of communication in which an author can express their own ideas through. The idea at first was questionable because not too many individuals do blogs. When was the last time you heard of a Blog in the past month? EXACTLY. Credit should be given out to these publishers and more people should definitely create a blog, its like a mini Twitter.  CupofJo.com      The reason why I started to enjoy blogs is because of blogs like CupofJo. As soon as I opened this blog I was greeted by this picture shown above and this nice forest green and white theme. Also a likable thing would be the links here and links there. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE, as well as high quality pictures. My only complaint would be that blue letter sidebar on the right of every page. They are links within other posts she has but they look more like a
