APPLE: The Eulogy :(

[freepomme]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

You can go back and look at my threads. I have been very consistent on this subject.

Apple is always in the headlines, always in the news, well, we're coming to find out ... maybe they don't deserve it...

We're tired.

When Apple finally decided to go big, it was only after we had told them for YEAAARS. For years.

We're tired. Tired!

Like I said, you obviously love tooting your own horn.

Tired? Try taking a nap or drinking a cup of coffee.

 

[freepomme]

I'll tell you this. I honestly don't care about any iPod, iPad, or MacBook coming out.

Oh, that's the worst thing that could have happen to your product line. And yet it's happened.

The Apple Watch isn't even on my radar. And this is coming from a person who has bought it and returned it.

Apple hasn't been able to tap into what the industry calls for for YEARS. And the thing is, they think they're so Great. They think they're innovating. But look at the iPhone 7 and AirPods...

It's a debacle.

I was at the Apple Store and whenever a person comes in asking for AirPods, and the Apple geniuses tell them they're not here, I just laugh.

THIS IS A MAJOR FAILURE. YOU JUST CANT DO THIS ****.

 

[T5BRICK]

Apple is not what it used to be. We all know that. But constant failures with follow-up apologies just can't sustain this company any longer. With the last releases of Apple products, I've just gotten tired. It's just fail after fail after fail. The iPad. The iPhone. The Macbook. All declining.

It's to the point now where we don't have one good product in their lineup. A touch bar. Wow. That's nothing new. Incorporating touch into your Macs is nothing new. Did they really expect anyone to buy it up as if it was?

I'm not even saying that Apple needs to innovate, I'm not even focusing on that right now. They just need to iron out all these bugs. That's all I'm focusing on, that's it! I've stood by and watched too many flops as it is. And I'm asking for a new CEO. I'm asking for you!

iOS 10 was a disaster!

Every single product in Apple's lineup has a fault. So when you see a crowd at Apple Stores across the globe, they're not in there buying nothing, they're in there trying to fix their devices!

Apple sat idle while their Macbook line burned. They released an iPhone with no headphone jack and can't manage to release the Airpods that were originally supposed to come out with the iPhone 7.

A chunk of their customers who own iPhone 6s's are now out of warranty and they're waiting for battery replacements on devices they TOLD Apple were faulty.

They failed to advance battery tech back since 2012. They've been holding onto retina displays for far too long.

Apple Maps never recovered.

They malingered as every other company in the game improved their AI tech while Siri squandered. They bought Beats and did nothing with it.

They released the poorly received Apple Music. And it still hasn't caught on.

The App Store has dwindled in it's offerings.

iTunes is still a mess.

The iPad Pro never got off the ground.

Beats doesn't give them any type of revenue. Beats didn't even give them a box of Captain Crunch. The Beats purchase didn't even give Apple a single crouton. It didn't give them a little crumb of cookie! Even if it's already been in their mouth!

Apple TV is irrelevant.

And last but not least, they let the iPod fall to the wayside.

This is the end of the road.

I know yall don't want to hear this but it's a fact! I just don't know where else we can go with this. They're done in 2016. They're done!

This is The Eulogy. Apple: The Company of Yesteryear.

I honestly haven't been impressed with anything Apple has released in the last 5 years. Apple is not indestructible. Wait! Look at the numbers! Everything they built is going to fade.

You talk too much.

 

[freepomme]

You talk too much.

THIS IS "APPLE! THE EULOGY."

 

[Mlrollin91]

THIS IS "APPLE! THE EULOGY."

This Is - "You are annoying with all your hate."

BTW why is this in the iPhone section, can this be moved to general discussion?

 

[T5BRICK]

THIS IS "APPLE! THE EULOGY."

This is your opinion. Nobody cares.

iPhones used to be a status symbol. Like a bucket list achievement for many people. Now with the market deeply saturated with great devices apple has been matched or outdone and prices of androids has made them way more appealing than anything with ios. In my house three out of four of our phones are iPhones. The fourth a Samsung. And the Samsung fairs just as well as any of the iPhones. As 2017 creeps up on us we most likely will see apples market share decline but will still be very prominent if they stay in the phone market. They may not be able to command the top tier of pricing which may hurt their ego more than anything but they still have a solid customer base.

I have to hate on the iPhone 7. I must! It's a failure. I mean, I could put this thread in the General section... but I mean... seeing as the crux of the issue has to do with the company precariously rolling the dice on the iPhone 8... it kind of makes sense to put it here.

I'll be sad if this iPhone 8 doesn't change a thing. Because after that, that's it. Apple loses. That's the end. Investors are going to pull out after that.

How do I lay this out for you. It is 100% YOUR opinion that it is a failure. I absolutely love my 7Plus, my GF moved from a 6s to a 7, she loves it, my brother moved from a 6s+ to a 7+, he loves it. Just because YOU think its a failure does not make it so. Sorry but the world does not revolve around you. You have way too much hate.

Not only that Joshua, but those who DO use iPhones are using apps on those iPhones that are MOSTLY GOOGLE.

Wooooooooow.

Apple doesn't seem to take that as a threat, but it most definitely IS.

What in the hell are you talking about? I don't have a single Google app on my phone. Where is your proof that the majority of apps being used are Google apps? I don't even have Youtube on my phone.

GOOGLE MAPS. GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC. YOUTUBE. GOOGLE CHROME. TRANSLATE. GOOGLE PLUS. GOOGLE KEYBOARD. I know you use GOOGLE SEARCH!

Google is infiltrating Apple devices, can't you see that?

I dont have a single one of those apps, not a single person in my family does. No lie, no exaggeration. If I need to access Youtube I use the browser.

Google apps are not taking over iOS. Where is your proof. Oh wait...you don't have any.

Google has 81 apps on the App Store. Yes thats a decent amount, until you realize there are currently over 2,000,000 apps. That is .0000405%. Hardly taking over iOS devices.

Oh. I wanna show youuuuu! The proof that Google apps are better than Apple apps any day of the week!!!!


But yet if you go to the App Store... uh.. oh look! #3! GOOGLE! YouTube! And oh, Google is GETTING their revenue from YouTube Red. Oh, yes they are!

#7 GOOGLE MAPS! Woahhh! If Apple Maps were so good, then why is Google Maps #7. A knife stab to Apple since 2012!!! Apple Maps never got off the ground. They only wanted to focus on 3D graphics and surprisingly enough, NOT DIRECTIONS. People have known for a while now that Apple Maps is a death sentence. Why do you think Google Maps is #7 and Apple Maps is nowhere to be found?

CONNECT THESE DAMN DOTS.

I HATE Google Maps. I have not had one problem with Apple Maps..EVER. But guess what, that is MY opinion and I don't fault others for not sharing that opinion.

Again, where is your proof that more Google apps are used than Apple apps. Just because its in the top of the app store means its been downloaded, it doesn't mean its still on the device. I have downloaded Google Maps but then I deleted it almost immediately because it was a waste of space when Apple Maps has suited me just fine.

I'm sorry. I was just trying to be edgy. I mean, everything I've said has been right.


But I didn't want y'all to get too triggered and that's what I've been doing so I'll tone it down. You're not bimbos. Sorry that was just my inner-self talking.

My original title still stands. But don't call on those moderators to take actions they really don't need to take.

They know better than I do that Apple is done.

I already reported. Thanks for the apology though.

 

[Mlrollin91]

This right here is the problem. Its your opinion and you seem to think only your opinion is correct. For a while now, you have been making thread after thread of bashing Apple and not taking into regards that this is merely your opinion and others may not share it, yet you think you are right.

 

[freepomme]

⁽⁽(੭ꐦ •̀Д•́ )੭*⁾⁾ Nooooooo! It won't be fair! And I know this about y'all... I've studied y'all for over 3 years!!!!! I studied y'all like a frog in a lab.

I know y'all!!

Nooooo! No, no. This has been my stance! Thread, after thread. After thread. And then I make more threads about when they come to light!


Oh yes! Nobody can deconstruct my positions. If not, then why haven't they already done it?

 

[EndlessBuffoonery]

Their obsession with making everything paper thin is gonna hurt them. We don't need smartphones this thin, give me a few extra mm and a battery that will last days without a charge.

This applies to the new MacBook pros too. Thinness and weight are subjective to everyone but in my opinion an extra lbs and some mm for better battery, or anything really, is not gonna break anyone's back for portability.

100x this! When I think of the future, I don't think of amazingly thin devices, beautifully crafted and effortless to use. I think of devices that are the same as they were 10 years ago. The same size and weight. I see devices that are improved merely by brute force methods. These won't be devices which utilize improved hardware design to simultanesouly improve computing speeds and form factor. These will be devices stuffed to the brim with old-fashioned battery technologies. That's what the future is. Hopefully in 20 years all of our devices will look exactly the same as they always have. Hopefully we've made no advancements.

Again thats the problem. Your stance is blurting your opinion out and claiming things are fact without evidence to back it up. It is one thing to state your opinion, but then to state your opinion is right is an entirely different matter. You just did this above "everything I said is right".

You are 100% wrong in your approach. Where is your evidence that Google apps are taking over iOS. That is your opinion and is not fact.

How have I not deconstructed your opinion. You must bring facts to backup your stance. You have no stance for your claim about Google apps and therefore is proven wrong. Another thread about AirPods shipping with iPhone 8, I personally proved you wrong just by reading the article that you linked. Thats the problem, you see and hear what you want, but not what is factually correct.

Okay. I like that. I like a challenge.

But damn! I forgot one of the most important Google apps of all! GMail! How could I forget?! Uh, gosh. Please forgive me.

(ノ ˘_˘)ノ Of course, I've got to sit it right in your lap! Traditionally. As I have always done.

Oh? Google Drive!!!!

Man, there's so many apps to choose from that I keep forgetting!

This is going to be an ongoing discussion in which I provide for you, visual receipts of everything I've been telling you.

I can show you better than I can tell you!
