The WAN Show I Think Apple Lied - WAN Show July 14, 2023
Apple's Implausible Satisfaction Claim
- Apple claims a 99% iPhone satisfaction rate repeatedly despite independent research showing closer to 80%.
- This high satisfaction claim likely stems from biased surveys with select tech-savvy participants.
Bias in Apple Satisfaction Surveys
- Apple uses the same research firm, 451 Research, to report near-unanimous satisfaction rates every quarter.
- This firm polls mostly tech professionals eager to spend on new tech, introducing bias into results.
Sparking Passion Through Stories
- Personal stories inspire the Linus Media Group team, fueling their mission to ignite passion for technology.
- Linus values sparking excitement even if it only catches on with some viewers.
