Apple trying to destroy hardcore quality fanbases?

As much as I hate to admit, but Apple is trying to get of hardcore quality fanbases by getting them to switch to their products, which are just good enough for the masses. What do I mean by hardcore fanbases, well let me explain.

Movies: Apple does not currently support Blu-Ray and only offer's movies in 720P instead of 1080P on the itunes store. Also, most movies on the itunes store do not include any bonus features which you would find on a blu ray disc. So basically, Apple is offering you the cheap way to download movies. 720P is still pretty good, but apple does not even give you the option for the higher quality. But since most people prefer the convince of downloading it, they will go with Apple's way, and miss out.




Videogames: According to recent statics, many hardcore gamers are moving from the Nintendo handhelds to iphone and ipad touches for their gaming delight. The iphone and ipad can provide some nice gaming, but its not as feature rich as the Nintendo DS. Plus some of the games don't seem to be built that well either. But people will pay because its cheaper and their iphone is always with them.

Why would you want to use a ipad as your main game machine?
Music: Apple tried to lunch their new service Itunes IP, which was a cool add on to music albums, but it hasn't really taken off. If you still want the best music experience, your not going to find it on itunes. But why do so many people download music, cause its easy. 82% of America is lazy, and would rather download a album then go up to buy the CD. Itunes music has gotten better, but it still is top by CD's. It would be nice if they offered higher quality as a option to buy.
The CD ani't dead, yet
Computers: Have you noticed that apple computers are not that high tech anymore. Not only are they missing Blu-ray and USB 3.0, they seem to lack that awesome punch they had back in the day. Back then, Apple was pushing ground breaking technology, but now they are just trying to keep up with everything. PC's have the better quality in features, the only reason why Apple Computers don't break down as much is because they use old technology which has pretty much been perfected. Even the ipad fails in its feature list, but people today just don't want to cutting edge. 

Ipad, it could be so much better
I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick of Apple cutting concers just to make a quick profit. For how much money you spurge on one of their machines, you should be getting some high quality, you know?
