Reviewers, for one. Dell XPS is nowhere near the build quality of a MBPr, the Surface Pro is close but no cigar.
>Don't disagree, but the hardware is nothing special.
In what way? It's the fastest smartphone available, smoking the competition. The camera and image processing is one of the best, if not the best, on any smartphone. AR processing. Best in class sensors. Smoking fast graphics. Most custom designed by Apple. What else would it need? Magic unicorn engine, it doesn't have.
>Bullshit. Smart watches with better features, better hardware and better battery life have existed for a long while now.
Anything concrete -- some specific model, so that we can do a comparison for those "better features, hardware and battery life"?
>But all of them are about at par with any high-end laptop, phone or tablet.
"About at par" is the best one can say.
What other brands full featured, actual app ecosystem smartwatch is the form factor of the 38mm apple watch? Which of them have LTE even as an option? It's smaller than some of the fitbit type trackers, even.
You can gripe over other things about it, but no one else makes a _small_ smartwatch like it that isn't severely limited in some way
Says who? I think Surface book/pro and Dell XPS have caught up and in some ways surpassed MBpro.
> The iPhone X is top notch
Don't disagree, but the hardware is nothing special. We have had this quality and refinement in Android flagships for a couple of years now. Apple has just caught up to the state of the art.
> The Apple Watch is the best in its kind technologically
Bullshit. Smart watches with better features, better hardware and better battery life have existed for a long while now. The iwatch is good, but not better than any other comparable watch out there, hardware-wise.
> The iPad continues to be the best tablet technology wise.
I think you're repeatedly conflating sales/revenue numbers with hardware and technological superiority. MBpro, iphone x, iwatch, ipad all are very well made and very high-tech products. They all have nice hardware. I am particularly impressed by the face mapping tech in iphone. But all of them are about at par with any high-end laptop, phone or tablet. In fact there are laptops with windows hello, which work very well for face login. The Galaxy phones pack in a lot of hardware features and have had a futuristic design which apple has just come around to copying. There is no clear hardware superiority in apple's products.
