Yes, it is. We've discussed it. Despite the fact that you may not have been involved in the discussion, it was discussed in great depth a year ago on this forum.
Because they release a phone once a year and fall behind. And will continue to do so more each year.
That argument would make sense if they NEVER updated their features, but they do. I think you may be a little slow or something. Do you think they never added 3G also?
Many followers are, that is true. They(Apple) have a Greatful Dead type following but many DO mind it and they will lose phone customers because of it. The new iPhone i believe will sell well but i doubt it breaks records because of it being not big enough and the new iOS not being anything exciting.
Again, you seem to be ignoring history and reality. Recall how the first iPhone didn't have 3G? But it sold like crazy? I was one of the guys holding out for 3G, i even wrote a blog slamming Apple for it, yet here I am. And I'm a fraeking Windows guy, definitely not an Apple "Greatful Dead" type. But I recognized Apple updated the product and that it was good. Also, I no longer cared to be on the bleeding edge.
Believe me, I know, as I'm sure Apple does, that ther are customers that want bleeding edge. But look across Apple's product line and you'll see decisions they've made that show they are okay with letting go of those customers. They know that having a stable and quality product is better than trying to please everyone. Take one look at their sales and you'll see they've made the right decision. Apple may lose a few customers, but not enough to harm the bottom line. Besides, Samsung has to sell to SOMEBODY!
I dont care. Im not buying one and it doesnt matter to me which one they choose.
Unlike you, I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. Enjoy whatever phone you want to buy. I won't criticize your choice. (Although you seem so determined to criticize mine and millions of others.)
And i wasnt criticizing, i was stating a fact.
What fact?
Dont let that cloud your mindset of feeling you need to post a bunch of sentimental crap about Apple fans just accept this and that
.
My mind is clear. I'm not the one trying to convince someone else their decision is wrong. No sentiments here. Heck, I used to work for MS and have buddies working at Samsung's mobile division (as well as others). I'm no Apple lover. But at this point in time their products (some of them) suit me well. I don't own their Mac line, but might buy one and load Windows on it....maybe.
The fact is, Apple fans will buy anything with a Apple logo on it whether or not it is improved much or not.
This is true, but why do care so much? (again, I'm not a part of that crowd)
Case in point. I love the iMacs but the new model has barely an upgrade in the CPU speed at all. Less than half a GHz which will do really nothing noticable so why buy a new one?
I would think you would buy a new one because your old computer no longer fits your needs. Not sure why Apple releasing a new model would be a part of that decision in any way. Windows PCs are updated all the time with very slight spec bumps. Do you attack them as well?
I never once said Android had LTE two years ago. In fact, i never said a thing about LTE. You are the one who is flawed.
Uh....re-read your second reply to me in your last post. You even admit t hasn't been 2 full years.
Edit: Here....
Android has had it for about two years already and you will get it in a month or so.
And we all know those 4G Android devices had much worse battery than the iPhone. For some it was worth it, but most complained. Complaints were all over the web about it at the time.
