is it just me or has apple really lost its advantage with the departure of steve jobs, i mean johnny ives is still there, but they seem to be doing a mediocre job, dont get me wrong, i really liked the new macbook when it came out, and i own an apple watch (more of a fashion accessory more than anything else), but maps, siri, music, photos, etc seem like minor increments. blow me away apple like hou did with the first intel based macs, or how about when mac os x first came out, the very first ipod, we need more makers, not an operations guy
- rimantas 10y agoJobs was there when iOS was in infancy. Now it is a mature platform. I don't get this constant "entertain me" whine.
- epynonymous 10y agoi've been a loyal apple user since the motorola 68030 mac ii, this was in the 90's so it's natural to expect apple to change the game every few years, with cook at the helm, he's done nothing exciting, just a lot of conservative incremental changes, you see where the stock's trending lately. i am not some fanboy that jumped on the apple bandwagon in the past 10 years, so from my perspective, apple is starting to falter, but jobs has laid a solid foundation of innovative products, couldn't see myself buy a dell/lenovo or android phone anytime soon, but things have certainly changed in the past few years, regardless if apple has so much cash in the bank. wwdc's in the past unveiled mac os x, the intel based macs (from powerpc), ipod, iphone, ipad, this wwdc has really been underwhelming granted it is a developer conference, but apple has always been using this to market their new gadgets.
