e.g. Their bladeless fan uses a principle which has been known since the 1700s. The fan blades (you didn't think it was really bladeless did you?) are in the base, and blows air out thin slits at the top. This fast-moving air drags nearby air along with it, creating the illusion of a bladeless fan [youtu.be].
The thing is, nobody makes their fan this way because it's stupid. It's less efficient than just having the fan blades blow the air directly. The Dyson has to use more energy to move the same amount of air as a regular fan. You only do it Dyson's way if there's some danger of objects being ingested which could tangle with the blades. Yet despite using a design that's been known about for centuries, Dyson managed to get patents on it. And despite the design being inferior, their marketing department has got the masses convinced that they've invented some new superior design. That will trigger any knowledgeable techie.
Apple is similar. The only thing they actually make is their Mx processors and UI software. Everything else in their devices is standard components everyone else in the industry uses. Made by the very same companies Apple's marketing has convinced people are inferior. Samsung, LG, Toshiba, Sony, etc. You're basically paying a reseller 3x to 10x more for the same memory, storage, screen, camera, etc. available in other products. They and Dyson are more marketing companies, than they are tech companies. You can see it if you look at their R&D spending as a percent of revenue [visualcapitalist.com]. Apple's is far lower than true tech companies like Nvidia, Broadcom, Intel (they spend 28%)

Shilling or brand hugging either way is pretty pathetic. I want to believe it's neither of this but it stinks of pig.
The first user asked a valid question. Since I own 6, or so, tools from Revlon alone, I gave valid advice based on my experience with cheaper brands.
Please give advice of the brands you've used if you have more information. Tell us the temperature settings and if the tools you used work on 1A - 4C types.
I'll wait...
