How can 3rd party adapters not work? How can a man made object NOT be re- man made? Not only that, in the same factories the real ones come out of. Apple doesnt own a rare precious metal that make up a chip. Anything can be re-made.
You are correct, they don't own a special material. They just own the legal patents that prevent someone from legally reproducing the item. And since the US and European nations still make up the largest market for Apple and the fact that both areas enforce patents, it isn't worth the time or money to reverse engineer and produce knock offs.
There are identical copies of the iPhone 5 already hitting the market. EXACT COPIES. Ive seen them in Hong Kong.
That is a lie. No ifs, ands or buts. You couldn't prove that on your best day. The A6 processor hasn't been copied by anyone.
People, wake up. We can make exact copies of animals. Cloning. It exists. Please dont expect me to believe a plastic adapter cant be duplicated.
There is a chip inside that plastic adapter. That chip is the issue. Oh and cloning animals is a really, really bad example. Most clones die due to a genetic defect introduced during the cloning process.
I believe its an Apple scare tactic.
Amazon and
eBay sellers jumped on board and taking pre-orders for 1/3 of the price. it took 7 days after this news for the "3rd party adapters dont work" news to hit the web. Im sure Apple is using this scare tactic to ensure they can persuade the public to cancel orders and pay full price for these things.
That is incorrect on more levels that I can type up. Apple created the technology. Apple filed for the proper patents. Apple gets to reap the benefit. The 3rd party knocks offs, hedged their bets that they could adapt quickly and the failed. They are at fault, not Apple.
Also, why would Apple wait so long on such a massive product to not supply these adapters last month? Maybe to sneak in the sales for a sexy 4th quarter report? Possible.
You do realize their fourth quarter ended in September? Those adapters won't even have a remote impact on the 4th quarter reports. Now they will impact their 1st quarter report in Jan 2013.
I dont trust a 1 trillion dollar company. Their technology is brilliant and they make that much money due to thier products, but also in making the world thier *BLEEP*. We do whatever they say.
No. You buying the product makes you the sheep if you wish to use that very poor train of thought.
"Dont buy 3rd party?? Ok Apple, whatever you say. Take more of my money". I applaud them
Apple doesn't care if you buy 3rd party items. If they did, they would never allow a company to license their technology to work with Apple products.
Theres a chip in the adapter....
The only thing that you have typed that is 100% factual. Shame the rest of the post wasn't up to the standard of that last sentence.
