Since the iphone all Apple seems capable of doing is playing the "me too" card. Their innovations have stalled and they've gone from being that awesome company that makes great dev/design laptops and really cool smart phones into Microsoft 2.0. Tim Cook == Steve Balmer??
- tashoecraft 12y agoThat's pretty harsh and also ignores how Apple creates its products. It didn't just see that everyone was doing smart watches and decided to hop on the band wagon like Samsung or LG. They have been building and designing a product they thought would actually do well in the market. They do purposefully try to become the first to announce just because they can. The iPad was considered a flop by every news outlet when it was announced. Mocked openly about how stupid it was and how no one would buy it. They aren't producing as many "market breaking" products, but I am sure they are working on them. Apple needs to be careful to release products that do very well, as sales that would be excellent for most any other company are considered a failure for Apple. That's not at all to say they haven't been leaving behind a lot of old products. I will be very happy if IOS 9 is focused on debugging the software and improving the overall experience. I just hope the next os x will be doing that as well.
- prapam2 12y agoThey did hop on the phablet band wagon which i believe was mocked just like the iPad.
- dba7dba 12y agoThe best ever quarter Apple has had definitely was helped by hopping on the phablet band wagon, started by Samsung. I remember the universal mockery most reviewers had when it was introduced. Also Samsung (Samsung Chemical) has been involved with battery business for a long time but they recently got rid of it.
