How Apple and Samsung Arguably Make Customers Pay for Beta Testing Products

from JB's Podcast with Kai and Nia · host JB

Send us Fan MailHow Samsung and even Apple sometimes release devices as test run and some consumers fall for these as if they are actual quality products. Samsung released the Frame Speaker which has a literal paper "screen" instead of an electronic screen that could show gallery and music pictures or soundwave images, but it still released this demo product and yet some people bought it. The Galaxy S25 Edge with its lackluster battery was, now we know, just a test run to assess durability, quality and other metrics for thinner foldables like the Z Fold 7 and the upcoming Z Fold G (tri fold). And Apple did the same with the iPhone Edge released with a further money grab battery pack to buy separately. While thankfully these products did not sell well, they're still money grabs. Perhaps sensing the gullible nature of many of its own customers, Apple doubled down with the iPhone Pocket, essentially a single knitted sock priced at up to $230... People who buy this knitted pouch should be immediately assessed for their own good and society's wellbeing!
