Duplicity

it's quite common nowadays to have multiple gadgets. especially since it's rumored that Apple finally decided to get it off its pedestal and start taking Samsung on where it matters the most -- the middle class.

we should expect the newer, low-end phone to hit the stores later on this year. but currently, the focus is on how Apple is struggling to make a comeback from its recent defeat from Samsung. they say that the new iPhone 6 will be featuring a fingerprint scanner.

the benefits of that feature would mostly be on security, but hopefully they also get on with their newer OS which should provide a fresher look to what has been branded as an "old" operating system. (i'm actually looking forward to updating when it happens).

now on to the subject of this post.

there is no doubt that if Apple decides to release this more affordable phone, it would trigger a buying frenzy from the emerging middle class. suddenly, the revered iPhone is "affordable" and definitely "within reach".

unconfirmed concept for iPhone 6: potential Samsung-killer
(this thing would be fun though)

expect people who already have an iPad, or iPod, to make this purchase on top of those who have already decided to switch systems from Android.

but how much do we really need this duplicity in gadgets?

because Apple has created a cult following, it's no surprise that there are already people who have an iPad, iPod, iPhone, and Mac in their homes. and then they buy nother Apple product.

i really don't get it. i already have an iPad and i'm happy with it. but i don't really see myself buying an iPhone. of course, i may change my mind in the future but for now, i don't see the point beyond everything being "in synch".

i guess my point is this.. if you have an iPad, try courting an Android system. that way, we get to enjoy both sides of this technology war going on. i just see this "loyalty" thing leaving us missing out on what the other system is capable of doing. and vice versa.

that way, we avoid a duplicity.

unless, of course, you're planning to have Plants vs Zombies, Candy Crush, Spartan Wars, Clash of Clans, or Zombie Tsunami on all your gadgets and using different accounts.

well, if you're into that kind of thing.. that's a different story.
