APPLE: The Eulogy :(

freepomme said:
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.

I already pointed out to you that Google has 81 apps on the App store, out of 2,000,000. That is only .0000405%, hardly taking over iOS. That you cannot deny. Just so you know, Microsoft has 104 apps on the App store. Oh now, Microsoft is taking over iOS too! :rolleyes:

I... ._. Don't care about that percentage.

The charts are the only thing I care about. And let's face the facts, okay? Because you know we have to deal with facts!

Fact: Apple just recently allowed their stock apps to be deleted. So any Apple apps we're seeing in the App Store now, are apps that were downloaded from the App Store.

Why aren't they higher up in the rankings? (I already know this.)

Alright lets try more facts.

1) The app store top charts are based on downloads and not those actively using the app. I have downloaded many google apps but I no longer have them on my phone, so I have contributed to the top chart stats, but not the actual usage of them. Therefore that is a variable that cannot be counted and your fact is no longer a fact and is a theory.

2) Apple apps can be hidden but not deleted. This is because many people don't like the clutter of stock apps, such as Tips, Podcasts, News, Stocks and so on. Some people have zero use for these apps. Therefore, this is another theory and not a fact.

3) Deleting stock apps does not give you the ability to assign new default apps. So therefore Apple does not want you to use third party apps for mail, safari and so on because otherwise they would give you the ability to change the default like macOS.

4) Because you are hiding stock apps and not actually deleting, they would not appear in the app store top charts ranking because you are not downloading anything from the server. These apps do not appear in the app store on iTunes, only if you are on your iOS device.


There we go. I just proved all your 'facts' as not facts.

Correct. And even if the "downloads" of Apple apps from the store were counted it would not count the people who never delete them in the first place.

Exactly, which I outlined in my list of facts for the OP because he loves facts so much. Stock apps are not even counted in Apple's app store count because there is no way to download them to iTunes for syncing, only on the iOS device itself.

So are you not going to respond to my 4 points? That proved your facts as not facts? lol

If not, that is my point. You are claiming things to be facts without being able to back them up as such. No one would consider you a troll if you politely expressed your opinion as an opinion and if you had evidence to back up your claims that you are claiming to be factual.

"I'm right, you're wrong!"

Seems a bit childish, doesn't it? I get into arguments like this with my 13 year old son.

Okay let's just cool down for a couple of days. We don't need to argue. All we have to do is wait.

And I want to see you there. When everything comes to light. That's why I'm not trying to ban anybody. I don't send reports. I'm just gonna wait.

Watching you after I've been proven right is the ultimate satisfaction.

And trust and believe, I WILL be back to rub it.. IN YOUR FACE!

No. Wait for what I told yall...to come to light. I don't take glory in this, it's hard to say.

This is the Eulogy. I'm just as sad... But Apple is being dragged down. How can you deny that?

Agree..

Soooo google maps is #7 on the app download list? This doesn't mean it's used more than Apple maps on iPhones .. since Apple maps is already on the device when you buy it it's never going to make the top 10 downloaded apps.

I personally use Apple maps and have never downloaded google maps on to an iPhone (although I've used it in the past on android), I prefer Apple maps and that is my own personal preference.

Everyone you and I have ever known will die eventually and someday the the sun will explode(or implode), destroying the solar system as we know it.

Of course Apple will fail eventually. It most likely isn't because you think the iPhone 7 is a failure.

What in the world is Apple being dragged down by? Maturity in the market? Sure, but so is everyone else. You're just a pessimist looking for the negatives in absolutely everything.

I know y'all don't like it! But it's a fact! No, I'm not looking for negatives

The fact is: Apple released the iPhone 7. No headphone jack, Airpods. But never went though on the promise about it the Airpods.

And also having us wait for new Apple categories, and then having it be more of what we've already seen.

No, no, no. Apple has to be taken down. You can't deny this! We gave Apple a chance. But the cat is out of the bag now!

These AirPods.... Let's go back to that. (Since I like to use stuff y'all can relate to...)

AirPods are still not out and y'all are getting NOTHING on that. You're not even getting a box of Cap'n Crunch!

We received word last week that they will be out by the end of the month. There you go. The fact that you keep saying Apple has to be taken down is astonishing. Why are you hoping for a company to fail. If Apple were to fail, it would kill our economy even more. Apple has hundreds of billions of dollars in cash on hand.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I wasn't ever planning on buying AirPods. It's sucks that they haven't shipped, but in the whole scheme of things you're complaining about an accessory product that doesn't really affect Apples bottom line.

If you were never planning on buying Airpods, we can leave you out of the discussion...

These Airpods most certainly do affect Apple's bottom line. This is what the iPhone 7 was based around.

And I'm going to cite the Airpods as one of the major products that contributed to Apple's downfall.

AirPods don't matter. iPhones and iPads account for more than 60% of Apples revenue. AirPods fall into the "other" category that they report, which is less than 10% of their revenue.

If you think that Apple shipping $150 headphones later than you wanted is going to cause any meaureable damage to the company, I'd like to show you the $9.99 skull candy headphones that are always being sold at my local supermarket.

AirPods don't matter.

The AirPods are a major product? Good grief. I'm at the point where I've had it with this thread. :mad: It needs to die.
