    so lazy

    • Meh. I'm actually ok with it. I think of it like a good t-shirt. It fits so well you wish they never change the cut. Just improve the cotton quality.pango
    • ya i have 8 or 10 of the same black t... hate it when the brand changes the cut once a while...pango
    • exactly, and like a good ol' t-shirt, no one cares to upgrade until it is completely worn outformed
    • 5s' shape was perfect. Stop changing it!!pango
    • I agree, my favourite too._niko

    I told you a looong time ago, and I kept repeating it...

    Innovation will die the second Steve leaves. He was the one that pushed them to make everything BETTER BETTER BETTER. Make it fucking amazing or you're fired!!!

    Now all the employees are lazy as fuck with nobody cracking the whip, just rehashing old designs. This kind of shit would never fly with Steve in charge.

    Carl Icahn Dumps $700 Million In Apple Stock As iPhone Bet Sours

    One year ago, Carl Icahn thought Apple could do no wrong. Now he’s selling.

    Maybe they should innovate some shirts that fit or maybe a belt - all the dudes on stage look like they play in some lousy pub band who only do Fleetwood Mac and Steely Dan covers.

    I want to get a bit more info about this screen color thing. Does it adjust the color tone of the LED that lighten up the screen or do they just mess with the colors displayed?

    Just think about browsing qbn.com in a coffee bar and get a light brown background instead of white

    • i'm gonna guess it's based on the white point scale. D50, D55, D60, D65 etc.pango
    • And probably using the light sensor that was for auto brightness to also meter for white balance.pango

    So after seeing Apple use previous designs for the iPad pro 2 and the SE...

    Is it safe to say they peaked when jobs died?

    This shit sucks... and so does the solution for this rechargeable mouse.

    I'm not going to say Steve Jobs was irreplaceable but guys with his vision and understanding of computer trends don't come around often.

    • idk, Jobs would have had to face the same problems with Apple growing so big and going full mainstream.mekk
    • You don't think he had those issues to deal with in his last 5 years? The landscape seems about the same to me.

      I could be wrong, is it different now?
      sofakingback
    • They have way more markets and people are more willing to spend $500 on a phone than five years ago imomekk
    • Really? I thought all that was established by then... They're a bigger company now thats for sure.sofakingback
  • BusterBoy1

    Very difficult for anyone at Apple now to be anywhere near as effective as Jobs. Jobs was deeply invested in the company...emotionally & financially. He had skin in the game. Although the company wasn't "his", he had a significant stake and felt it was his right to exercise control over the company. Add to that he was clearly a visionary and you have a might powerful combination.

    • Yeah, it seems that they are severely drifting idealistically with incredibly bland people in charge. No-one has that spark to drag things forward.face_melter
    • In terms of R&D they are great, but they seem to just release the same 3 products every year with spec bumps.face_melter
    • How is it that they're great at R&D if it only yields incremental gains?zarkonite
    • Theres alot of stuff in R&D that hasn't come out yet. Apple waits for it to be a thing. then they come out with a better version and charge more for it.err
    • I'd suggest that Apple was exactly 'his', technicalities of ownership aside.detritus
    • Their work with precision milling, metallurgy etc. is what I mean, their design R&D is pure pishflaps.face_melter
    • Aslo, he had the ability to get things past the dream crushers making financial decisions. No way Tim Cook orsofakingback
    • anyone else can push the boundaries and get it made. It requires sacrifice and risk... in this case money. And guess what corporate drones love most? Money.sofakingback
  • hans_glib0

    while i'm a great fan of the se/5 size, it's a shame they couldn't be arsed to redesign the case, and make it a little curvier (à la iphone 3).

    but i suppose that would require someone at apple to actually give a damn and fight for the budget, rather than just cashing in on existing tooling.

    Why would they release a new phone in May? Does this mean we're now going to see yearly incremental updates to a shittier new phone every May, then the usual iPhone 7 released in October for their yearly updates? Maybe they could release a Christmas iPhone? What the fuck is the point? It's like they don't actually give a shit about innovation, just overall market gain.

    • Money is all they truly care about, so yeah, market dominanceformed
    • from now on you buy two new phones every year.mekk
    • Maybe it's because they had their first YoY iPhone sales decline?zarkonite
    • a ton of people are still on smaller iPhones, so it's like '...hey! HEY! It's the same dinky phone you love but with new bits inside! COOL!'face_melter
    • They don't only do it once a year. They've had many June releases, and September/October too.monospaced
    • ^ and that's why a lot of people will buy italiastime
    • Does anybody know if the battery will last longer than a day?Ianbolton
  • randommail0

    More of the same. The whole industry. We used to lament beige plastic. Now it's aluminum and glass.

  • shaft0

    Am I the only one disappointed that instead of launching an actual smaller iPhone 6s they rebadged iPhone 5 again with a new sticker?

    Not that I was going to buy a 4" phone anyway, shouldn't complain.

    • i know ppl that are stoked.
      The boxier frame was better for holding.
      And now it has better battery and same specs as 6s. Its just not for you.
      err
    • ummm... the 5SE is a smaller 6s, except for 3D touchmonospaced

    funny how companies like samsung can release all sorts of phones all the time... no one cares... they have something like 20-30 phones on the market.. most are rehashed plastic shit from years ago. Though god forbid Apple update just one of their phones. It's a big deal guise, seriously.

    • Most Samsung phones are buy one get one free too.monospaced
    • expectation of them is lower.pango
    • I don't think so pangomonospaced
    • Samsung et al don't strive so hard to put on such an overly-considered public persona, so don't go out inviting ire from fan and foe alike.detritus
    • Additionally, much of the comparison is with google and not Samsung as they actually provide the majority of the experience beyond hardware.monospaced
    • People only care about apple because they reinvented the cellular phone and in doing so, many ways the way we interact with technology.monospaced
    • Personally I feel that's not something that happens often in a single lifetime.monospaced
    • They did it once and it won't be easily forgotten. Even I can recognize that nothing they do will ever be that impactful again.monospaced
  • Maaku0

    Maybe they will release a new phone because this?

    • Good for them.pango
    • Whats funny about this is that all that information is useless now.sofakingback
    • Also, it made the US government seem so weak and stupid. You can't even break into one fuckin phone? Really? So you put it on blast and let the world know?sofakingback
  • monospaced0

    Apple has responded to the latest filing from the Department of Justice saying that if the government is unable to succeed in unlocking the device on its own, Apple will demand to know everything about the method by which it tried.
