[Insidious Von]

Tim Cook went ass up before Trump, why would he do that?

I my Google Pixel.

Actually 14 years. Steve Jobs died in 2011. Apple has fallen steadily behind in innovation. Only the difficulty in moving out of the Apple ecosystem (Job's innovation) has saved them.

The ecosystem is really the product, devices are just access points. Until someone nails AI, innovation is done on mobile computing.

Apple has become a joke. Tim could doesn’t care about the products, just the stock price.

Zero innovation, just money grabs. Eliminating headphone jacks to require expensive air pods, not allowing cheap memory cards, instead requiring monthly fees for cloud storage, etc.

You can upgrade the memory card at a pixel?

The brilliant unicorn and visionary, the late Steve Jobs was what gave Apple its legs.

Apple lost their spark but still wont stop them from sales perspective. Iphones are so popular, everyone just buys them not because they do their own esearch and find the features interesting. Majority of people buy iphones because others buy iphones, basically to "fit in". The brand is a joke now.

Apple does have a global cult status

Now the Musk Tesla Pi Phone is giving the Apple iPhone 17 a run for the money and it can even can link to the Space's Starlink Satellite. All for $789 vs more than $1,129 for the iPhone 17:

EXCEPT THAT IT IS ALL FAKE, AS MUSK DOES NOT HAVE ANY INTENT FOR SUCH A PHONE.
WOW, so much of AI created BS on the internet these days!!

 

[bver_hunter]

I would boycott all muskie products when he steals social security from the poor he loses my vote.

I agree, and I will steer clear of any Tesla products!!

I don't know what the decline is but i've recently become an apple user (PC prior) and i can't be happier. It works flawlessly and and i love the integration between my iPhone, iPad, work MacBook, and my Mac Mini. Zero issues, works amazing. No hiccups, no annoying windows updates to worry about it.

That's why I went from MS Windoze years ago. Apple just works.

However, now Apple products, operating systems and Apps are getting too complicated FFS. All this "Focus" mode can FOC OFF! My fucking Apple watch gives me a buzz in the fucking morning at 7:50am to tell me it's time to get my ass out of bed. I can't figure out how to shut off whatever the fuck it has programemd. And weird stuff liek when I wear my Apple watch, it BINGS when I get a text on my phone, but not on my phone. And when I switch my iPhone to silent during a presentation last week,, my fucking Apple watch goes off and rang when I got a phone call!

And there is no quick way to(that I can figure out) how to just put my phone on and off Do Not Disturb while I am busy with something.

They keep trying to jazz up shit and it takes away from the simple elegance of just working.
