I genuinely wonder why companies can't get this right. I know Apple is good at what they do, but if you can't play in this game, why bother?

I understand, on one hand, if you're making a budget knock off at 2/3rd the price. Then the lack of polish is forgivable from a business standpoint - the price is your biggest mover.

But if you're competing with the iPad for top of the line why even bother? Why bother overpromising on battery, when the first reviews will prove that false. How does a corporation even assume they will have any success in the market with this type of strategy?

Another way to say "they can get away with it" is "enough customers still find the product more valuable than the cash price set for it"
