Poll: Would you buy robotic limbs from Apple?

[Hatchet90]

I would because I've never had any problems with any Apple product that I've owned.

 

[Bekn]

I would but it would probably cost me an arm and a leg.

Ahem, awful jokes aside, I probably would. I trust Apple as a company and if price was no issue, I'd definitely go for them. I quite like my normal fleshy limbs, though.

 

[HellenicWarrior]

I wouldn't buy a robotic limb from apple because they'd probably end up revoking my access when I touch a windows PC or my HTC.

Then I'd just have a useless paperweight.

Why would you want limbs that get outdated every year, stop working after 4 years and need to be replaced, cost an arm and a leg (Hur hur hur), have stupid compatibility ("Apple limbs only work for those using Apple mind controllers!") and have limited functionality ("I'm sorry, if you want to scratch your really itchy nose you'll need to download the Nose Scratch App").

 

[Dapper Ninja]

No, because it would cost an arm and a leg.

No, I'd rather buy from someone who improves and updates the products I own automatically and for free instead of a company that just releases a newer, tinier version of every product after two months.

 

[TRR]

No, my limbs would need to actually do what I want them to do instead of just look nice

 

[Vrud]

I'm just undecided enough to say "maybe" but not quite undecided enough to come out and say "undecided."

 

[RanD00M]

Nope. I would want prosthetic limbs like any other everyman, but from Apple would be a slippery slope. They would most likely break easily, not be worth the money, non-fixable as in you'd have to get a new one if something happened and customer service would suck.

How about a DIY kit?

 

[sooperman]

Apple specifically, maybe. I'd want one that can be weaponized, and Apple doesn't seem keen on building lasers.

I'd wait for Microsoft or some other Hardware producing company to make them. (Insert witty insult of Apple product here)

Yeah, there is only one thing I trust apple to do, and that is be overpriced.

Overpriced? Does someone other than Apple sell Apple products at a cheaper price? I get the feeling that your sample base is biased.

 

[SovietX]

My iPhone has broken more times than I can remember. I wouldn't trust apple with my limbs.

 

[teebeeohh]

not from apple.
generally my love for cybernetics would be in conflict with my distrust for companies. I mean I don't want google to suddenly send me adds based on the performance of my artificial limbs. Especially if i have my eyes replaced.

 

[Scars Unseen]

Android limbs are better.

How about a DIY kit?

Like a kit car? Or like getting a frame and buying whatever parts from whoever?

Hmmmm. I like.

 

[Mogget128723]

I'd be worried that the new model released in six months for the same price would feature additional tidbits that Apple had the ability to add to the first model, but didn't because 'wallet rape' is their middle name. I'd also be worried it would randomly stop working, not give you any indication of what went wrong, then short itself out when you tried to manually repair it.

Microsoft has some problems, but I'd much rather buy a Microsoft brand Deus Ex robot arm.

 

[DarkRyter]

They would be too roundy and white.

PS: Just like yo momma.

 

[Treeinthewoods]

Sign me up for a new hand.

iFapping is the new fapping they always say.

Hmmmm. I like.

Something like the latter. Almost like making your own PC.

 

[MetroidNut]

Robotic limbs? Possibly - particularly if they fire lasers and/or transform into miniguns. But from Apple? No; I prefer artificial limbs that run non-Apple software, and aren't rendered outdated by the iArm 17 a month after purchase. And, of course, I prefer robotic arms that will tell me whether they're stalking me.

Can you imagine the EULA on an Apple body part?
