Rush68Apple /is/ high-end. Just because you don't like a company doesn't mean the nature of its products change. I hate Apple for multiple reasons, and however many problems they have at launch and summarily attempt to deny, the same can be said about a lot of other manufacturers throughout different industries.
Not that they're going to give a discount to Massdrop. I'll be genuinely surprised.

DragonzeanseI like the company a lot but apple doesn't make high end products, they make professional grade products. These are high end cellphones for consumers, not prosumer products like the iphone. The iphone doesn't belong here because it's in a league of it's own.

Rush68That doesn't make sense. Where is your evidence to support such a claim? Point to me any instances of Apple ever marketing their phones exclusively towards professionals, while I point you to the Apple YouTube channel. Assuming you mean the camera, then photo filters do not a professional make.
More to the point, who is to say that a company that makes professional products cannot make consumer products? Asus is one example. They make monitors and computer hardware designed for use by professionals, as well as for consumers such as PC gamers. Logitech is another example. As is Samsung. Yet Apple gets this label because... well, as far as I can tell, because of "reasons."
If Apple sold only Mac Pros, you'd have a point. If they specifically marketed their products to professionals only, you'd have another. But as it stands, I can shoot down both of these arguments easily. Even if someone inevitably makes the strawman accusation, I genuinely cannot see why anyone would draw the erroneous conclusion that Apple is solely dedicated to professional users.
Not that that matters, anymore. You could say that about anything and someone would agree with you. I use Windows and so do professionals. So what?
