This is due to a number of factors outside technology, but it's also true that universities here graduate people who never grew up with big screens and unwalled gardens, never grew up creating rather than consuming, and don't have a sense of what it's like to go from blank screen to working prototype to polished platform. Websites/services in developing countries are painfully bad. But creating a good SaaS or a good UX on a phone is darn tough. It's hard to create complex, multi-layer structures on phones: the screen is too small, the processor is too underpowered. Mobile devices are still consumption devices. It's true that smartphones are the only computer people have or need, which is a problem. Cook is trying to emulate the hardheadedness but fails to recognize the reasonability needed to balance that. They don't listen to the industry or the consumers anymore, they stick their fingers in their ears and pretend to know best. to remove something that was as core and identifiable a part of their computers was just a stupid move and served no purpose. I wont buy a laptop without a magsafe or similar connection, i have kids and animals, and the magsafe has saved a laptop more than once. The decisions are getting dumber every time. The new "features" every cycle are more "lets put this phone feature on the desktop" Now they are a phone company who presides over the death throws of an amazing operating system that is going to be killed off to make it more like a phone. Then they became a phone company who also made computers and tablets.

Then they became a computer company who also made a phone and a tablet. then they became a Computer company who also made a phone. First, they were a computer company driven by a man who loved computers ("first" here is the Jobs return era). Mostly because of the exact reasons in the article.
MOCKS APPLE DOOMED TOUCH BAR NEW PC
I never went back.īut what am I saving money for right now? To build a nice PC again. That's how you start rumors, and also how you turn an asshole into the president elect.Īs long as there are creative minds, dreamers, thinkers, and those who share Jobs' passion for creating great products, people will rise to the occasion to make tomorrow better through driving technology to new heights, and I guarantee you a company that put a computer in your pocket will ensure that they'll be a part of it.Then 10 years ago I got a mac. It's the mechanism of making permanent this suggestion that Apple has "fucked up", and thus are doomed that is a laughable misconception, and a byproduct of the great hive mind that insists on reading headlines rather than checking facts. No artist improves without critique, no gambler wins without risk, no child learns to walk without falling. Like most things, the internet has catastrophized not a failure, but a sidestep.



The touch bar on the new MacBook is also a new addition (think what you will of it).Īpple isn't hurting, we're not seeing innovation like we did with Jobs (for the moment), but in a few years, maybe a decade, who knows, I bet the power will shift hands at Apple, and we'll see another landmark innovation. The Apple Watch was the first product post Steve Jobs, and it's been selling well from what I understand.
