Apple, as a laptop manufacturer, is done.
The company is continuing to regress, having lost its edge (SJ).
They're completely on the process bandwagon of requiring more accessories, having lost the beauty and functionality of clever, practical simplicity which advances the user experience, instead of making it crappier and inconvenient for change's sake.
Tim Cook's gotta go, they need a more forceful visionary than a bean-counter. MacBook Pro's need to consider detachable displays, alternatives to keyboards, other modes of interaction, so on.

- aikah 10y agoTim Cook is fine. Ive need to quit.
- lostlogin 10y agoI haven't seen "Ive" at the beginning of a sentence before and it's surprisingly hard to parse.
- anentropic 10y agoAgreed he's beautifully designing a load of nonsense
- matthewmacleod 10y agoApple is what - the biggest single laptop manufacturer? It seems hyperbolic to describe them as "done".

- a-no-n 10y agoIt's irrelevant if they get eaten alive by Microsoft. MacBook Pro's don't even have a touchscreen, which would be the least innovation necessary to keep their heads above water. Right now, Apple is a sinking titanic like Woolworths.
- a-no-n 10y agoThree straight quarters of sales in free-fall. No significant new products. Done.
