Hardware is absolute crap. But if the OS is perfectly optimized for it, it works. iPhone 5S production cost is about 70$. Comparing a mac to a self-built PC or Hackintosh is almost pointless because Macs are so stupidly overpriced. Only point is design, if you like that you'll have to spend 50% more on a worse device. PLEASE don't say "well there's Samsung"... NO, SAMSUNG IS NOT THE ENTIRETY OF ANDROID DEVICES. There's great companies like LG, Motorola, Google's Nexus's(they're produced by different companies) and Huawei with INCREDIBLE prices. My opinion on the whole thing. If you want to buy an Apple product go for the MacBook. Screen and SSD space are unique in the Laptop world.

"Please no flame wars" Then what's the point of this polemic thread? Not sure what you mean by that.

Too broad a question. Apple excels in certain areas and comes up short in others like all companies. That said some reasons someone might buy a Mac include: Ease of use(seriously your grandma can figure out a Mac), Color pallet(Macs are better for GFX), Lack of viruses(Frankly I dont know anyone whos ever got a virus on iOS), Product longevity(part of lack of viruses. Simply put, your iphone wont just stop working, all in one integration(phone,pics, music, messages, ect on the go, at home or wherever).
Im by no means a fan boy but there are certainly positives to the apple business model. I think its easier to just blame Apple for their "crazy" prices and forget that you are not buying just hardware you are buying software that outside of gaming is flat out better. There is a reason Hackintosh even exists and its obvious, if you can get top of the line hardware running iOS without any hiccups you have a beast of a computer.
Basically Apple products are more expensive because they are higher quality longterm. The idiots who buy each and every product from Apple make it seem like they are ripping people off but Im sitting here with my iPhone 4s still capable of doing anything a iPhone 6+ can do, just slower and lower quality in some cases.

Every time I see PC vs Apple, or iOS vs Android, or Xbox vs Playstation, or PC vs console I just roll my eyes and groan. Find out for yourself which you like, if you're happy with it (or at least happier than the alternative) then okay. If you like them all then that's also fine. This kind of thread is only going to attract opinions that will preach to the choir and won't sway anyone. Then lock the thread.

I was only making this thread to see what people think and I'm sorry if I sound like a hypocrite etc but that was not my intention. Lock the thread if you wish
