Apple can't win because half the people want one thing and half want the opposite, but 99% of us love to complain.
iPhone 6 gets released, half the people complain, "Why doesn't Apple make a new phone like the 5?! That was a much better design!"
So then Apple responds by giving these customers exactly what they're asking for, and you get half the people complaining that it's not innovative enough.
- There in lies the problem. When the fuck did Jobs give people what they wanted?
People are idiots and don't know what they want. They need to be told.sofakingback - "Here is the newest greatest apple thing, because we think its badass. if you like it great if you don't fuck off"sofakingback
- isn't that what made them an awesome company? Isn't that what makes all innovative companies awesome?sofakingback
- This whole going back to a previous design though is something Steve never would have approved. It's incredibly lazy.iCanHazQBN

I notice the same double-standard with everything, even with how Apple presents it's new products. With Steve, every product announcement was overdramatized, everything was "this new AMAAAAZING product" and there were rock bands performing at product announcements and all kinds of circus shit. Many people really made fun of Apple for that. Now, the product announcements are more subtle, less boastful, and people are like, "Oh Apple announcements are not the same without Steve."
- eh? Apple launches were always cringeworthy - Jobs used to make me want to vomit... but the products were new and interesting.fadein11
- chillax - it's not your company - people can have a viewpoint. It aint the company it used to be - fact.fadein11
- "less boastful" lol.fadein11
- Apple followed the market with 6, they used to lead the market... and it's happening more and more with them.fadein11
- I agree that Steve's presence made the company produce great things. But, there is only so much innovation to be had.********
- iPad Pro is pretty innovative, no? I'd say it's leading the market.********
- really? I would say Surface Pro is leading that market i.e. having an OS pro's want/need to use - not a stripped back mobile OS.fadein11
- Most people don't want a "real" OS.********
- why is it called Pro then? a bigger screen?fadein11
- A rose gold tablet by any other name would smell as sweet.********

You simply can't please everyone.
And at the end of the day (and this is where it's gets ridiculous in context of life and the human race) we're talking about a phone.
- and the decline of the world's biggest company :)fadein11
- lol@fadeinutopian
- it's not just a phone. it's whole lot of stuff.iCanHazQBN
- well obviously. but not really. point is when you look back on this in 20 years how will you describe it all. people fussing over a phone. and why the fuss?prophetone
- lol so true.sofakingback
- I'm not making a fuss - they are lolfadein11

I have a 6 plus space grey 128
Aside from often using its massive screen for video, i don't like this thing awkwardly huge in my pocket
that se rose gold 64 is likely perfect for me
I don't see the need for the 3D touch function but like the idea of a smaller phone again with better specs
I'm old apparently
plus... rose gold

- Turns out Foxconn's factories are so big they were able to check suicide rates against the national average and guess what? They were lower.detritus
- All that shit there was to pacify Western Media's angst. God forbid consumers actually have to concern themselves!detritus
- They were checked against US national averages, it turned out it was more depressing to live in the US than work for Foxconn.shaft
- They also make Playstation, Xbox, Nokia phones and the Wii U but nobody seems to give a shit about that.monospaced
- because nobody acts like a pompous douche about their nokia********
- who acts like a pompous douche about their iPhone? or any brand of any product?? Get out more and you'll see no one really gives a shit.inteliboy
- I was being rhetorical and sarcastic. Obviously it's because Apple makes a fucking fortune on them.monospaced

U.S. Says It Has Unlocked iPhone Without Apple
- https://twitter.com/…********
- Makes Apple look pretty silly then doesn't it?BusterBoy
- yupchukkaphob
- I think this makes them look worse than if they agreed. This shows they have no control. So much for being so secure.formed
- The dumb fucks figured it out after all.utopian
- This is the type of information that Americans need to know to feel safe.********
- If Apple caved on letting us have our right to privacy, it would be worse than a breach. Think about it for a few seconds.CyBrainX
- Hmm, so far, it sounds worse (depending on your view), this shows that nothing is secure after all, so it really doesn't matter what Apple promises or says.formed
- so essentially this just came down to the FBI wanting to be able to crack anyone’s phone. Scary times.kona
- @kona uhm, no. Obviously they already can. haha!chukkaphob

^ Consumer electronics aren't known to be very safe, I wonder why this took them so long at all.

The main problem with the iPhone 5SE is that we'll have to keep optimising mobile websites for the tiny screen.
So much for hoping these days were going to be over.- surely it will be the same res as existing phones just on a smaller screen?fadein11
- It's the same. Nothing to see here.monospaced
- because iPhone has the smaller screen of all the phones?ESKEMA
- Mostly same. I use a 4s as my benchmark.section_014
- shaft-3
As I said... stop calling it a new iPhone. It's a minor spec upgrade, like when MacBooks get a 0.2 GHz faster processor once or twice a year:

Unlocked iPhone Worthless After F.B.I. Spills Glass of Water on It
After the Justice Department said on Monday that it had found a way to unlock an iPhone without help from Apple...a stupid ass dimwitted dumb fuck FBI agent spilled a glass a water on it making the iPhone worthless!
- news satire... but not even (that) funny at all. Yawn.chukkaphob
- ah, would be funnier if truemonospaced
- Whoa? FBI's like your ghetto car repair shop? "We fixed it. But also broke it..."pango
- @pango it's satire, dudechukkaphob
- I need to work on my jokes... But I guess it's only as funny as this article.pango

The latest version of iOS lets anyone see your contacts and photos on certain iPhones

- AMOLED been used by Samsung already.... first heard of it was 5 year ago...pango
- Hopefully they replace the screen material so it won't crack, like Androids.instrmntl
- curved screen... that's just stupid...pango
- 5.8 inch?! ugggghhh making it round number too much to ask for?pango
- Ergonomically correct? I'm not sure how it would feel in the hands, looks interesting though. I did not get a Samsung because their new phones are all glass.utopian
- ^yeah, the all glass part I don't like, metal/ceramic/someth... would be much better. As much as I hate the S5's looks, it stays in your handformed
- i modeled a similar concept Oct. '13imbecile
- i reckon the 7 will be boring. and the 8 will actually bring in a new shift in design.inteliboy
- You all know this is just stupid fake and fan art right?monospaced
- That's no excuse for being stupid. Apple fan failed!!pango

Why does iPad not have a native calculator?
- yeah i noticed that too, 3rd party calculators are mostly adware. shame!mekk
- Allow me to submit this for design inspiration. You're welcome, Apple! http://www.geekalert…********
- Unacceptable********
- No weather app either.raf
- what, you want a native app that you can just toss in a folder of other native apps you don't use? actually looking for something to complain about? pleasemonospaced
- relax. I saw the link and thought it was an interesting bit of apple info.sofakingback

Dollar for dollar, Apple just can't seem to keep up.
''$4,000 PC Destroys $4,000 iMac in Lightroom Performance Test, Report''
- it's all smoke and mirrors, perception is reality. now, they're moving on to cars (fiasco waiting). Jobs was Apple; not Ives and this new clown Cook, bad idea********
- "custom built PC" vs Off shelf consumer Mac. Curious how it would do against the Mac Pro.Gnash
- ^ yes, the Mac would crush it, but keep in mind the COST. Wayyyyyyy higher********
- if the PC had a display even close to the 5K res 27" that comes with the iMac it would be way more expensive than $4kmonospaced
- the off-the-shelf MacPro is $3,999Gnash
- Stupid comparison. Also, who cares.********
- $2,999, I'm sure that was a typo.monospaced
- ^ that's for the quad, $3.9K for the 6-coreGnash
- LG makes Apple displays, can't see why would they be more "special" than 5k Dell or Samsung displays********
- thats why i switeched to PC a few years ago. PCs are a lot cheaper tp buy and performances are equal or better to Macs. and all the softwares are exactly the saBennn
- me.Bennn
- @shove, sure, but they didn't spec a 5k display in that $4k build, they picked one not much better than 1080.monospaced
- Actually, a lot of people should care. Eventually Apple's shiny logo isn't going to be enough to blind people to the more cost/less power formula they've hadformed
- Its a bit disappointing that there isnt hardcore apple clone community it seemsyurimon
- ^ they tried a few years back. Apple wasn't very accommodating.Gnash
- I would build a hackintosh in a heartbeat if the whole thing didn't involve so many unknowns and possible headachesmonospaced
- when they did license Mac OS to 3rd party developers, I owned the fastest Mac at the time and it was a PowerComputing rig, and it was cheaper than a Macmonospaced

^ Could be a lot faster on both machines if Adobe would fucking optimize their sluggish software. I mean InDesign still running on one core etc. WAT
- Adobe apps rely more and more on the GPU to do zooming, panning etc. They run like absolute shit on the laptop chips Apple use in iMacs.face_melter
- On my last iMac I installed beta drivers from nVidia to try an eke out extra % of performance because the Apple drivers are so out of date.face_melter
- fuck adobehans_glib
- Now I have a PC with a proper gfx card, Adobe performance is like night and day, across the board.face_melter
- Apple didn't even support 10 Bit Output/Workflow a year ago. Silly Apple and their "Professionals"mekk
- I roll my gorgeous green eyes when they bang on about their 4/5K displays when it's only a 2GB card running them. Good luck doing anything remotely heavy.face_melter
- yup, I would happily buy a heavier MBP with smaller battery but with a proper GPU..What about VR, can they (mbps,iMacs) handle it?********
