>>(depending on if you ask the average consumer or a techie)
There are definitely people who feel left out by Apple. As evident by the numerous blog post and talks on the internet.
- simonh 10y agoIf the internet were to be believed, the iPhone was a marketing-lead fad with no chance of success and every month since 2007 a new reason gets trotted out for their impending doom. Meanwhile actual sales, customer satisfaction ratings and margins climb ever higher. All of which drives the haters ever more cranky, hence all the blog posts.
- John23832 10y agoNone of what you said matters. I said in my previous comment (and was implied in the OP) that people feel left out by Apple. The only proof I need for that is one person write a blog post saying that they feel left out by Apple, which we've definitely seen.
- Caprinicus 10y agoIt matters because people writing angry blog posts because apple leaves someone out has happened at every iteration of every apple product ever. Apple removing the firewire port was the end of the world. http://appleinsider.com/articles/08/10/16/jobs_responds_to_outrage_over_macbooks_missing_firewire http://appleinsider.com/articles/08/10/16/jobs_responds_to_o... Apple removing the matte screen option was a the end of the world http://www.macworld.com/article/1136061/matte_laptops.html http://www.macworld.com/article/1136061/matte_laptops.html Using USB instead of ADB, SCSI and GeoPort and ditching floppy drives was the end of the world http://www.technologizer.com/2008/10/17/firewire-isnt-alone-a-brief-history-of-features-apple-has-killed/ http://www.technologizer.com/2008/10/17/firewire-isnt-alone-... I don't think I even need to link posts about powerpc, flash player, or the 30 pin connector
- John23832 10y agoBut it doesn't. I was simply stating that some people feel left out. That is it. Regardless of whether people have BM'd on the internet before. Regardless of the implications of someone feeling left out.
