High-end 2019 Apple iPhone lineup may shift to 'Pro' branding
It is a meaningless marketing term. Anyone in any career can be considered a 'professional' in that line of work. Your doctor, lawyer, plumber, welder, contractor, garbage man, janitor, fast food clerk, server, pilot, computer user, youtuber, blogger, pest control, road kill collector....are all considered 'professionals' in their field. Your explanation is only to boost your ego when anyone in any field is a professional. It is meaningless...except to fool the consumer to pay a higher price.chasm said:
This may come as a shock to you, but the name "pro" on something is a marketing marker to denote more power/potential and/or price. That's it.rossb2 said:"pro" seems ridiculous in a phone context. You dont have to be a professional to use a phone....
To those of us out here actually doing pro work, the word "pro" is short for "professional," meaning "someone who is trained and skilled and gets paid for their work." Since that meaning of "pro" can't apply to machines, "pro" has always been a marketing moniker to attract the attention of professionals, but can be important to literally any kind of customer.
It's nearly 2020, and I'm having to explain this to people.

High-end 2019 Apple iPhone lineup may shift to 'Pro' branding
And you proved his point. The word 'Pro' is a joke. Apple only uses the term to increase the price. As I commented before, the only difference between the MacBook and MacBook Pro, not too long ago, was the addition of a FireWire port. Hardly worth being called a 'Pro' for one common-use port, even on an iMac.andrewj5790 said:

You mean how popular the Xs was last year? That was their 'flagship' model and the sales of that model have been dismal compared to the Xr.foregoneconclusion said:Considering that the 'Pro' devices that Apple currently sells DO have a reason for being labelled as such, perhaps people should wait to see what tech is being included in this rumored 'Pro' version of the iPhone? Might make more sense than immediately flying off the handle. -

Apple begins limiting Apple Music free trial period to one month
That's funny considering people spend over $1,000 for a phone and Apple cannot even provide a $9 dongle to connect headphones, or provide a USB-C to lightning cable. Good luck on Apple giving away Apple Music for a year.ITGUYINSD said:I think if you buy a new iPhone or Mac computer, you should get a free year of Apple Music.
