        Seriously what???

        They are a 3 trillion dollar company that gets declared dead on this site on the hour, every hour. In fact every time I see post on here saying Apple are finished, they seem to grow their market value a billion dollars or so.

        And they seem to be reporting record numbers of late, so what exactly are you basing your dime store level soothsaying on again?

          DaFink, 23 Apr 2022Cool, I design rockets that go to the moonYou couldn't come with a better reply. No one design rocket as the whole. Lmao. It's designed part by part like, fuel tank reservoir, supply system, upper frame, lower frame, crew cabin, engine, afterburner, engine propeller, engine frame structure and so on. You should have done your elementary school study.

            How long does Apple have? They stuffed around the computer market with reduced physical featured expensive computers, and the same thing is happening to phone (disappearing ports). With the hardware sales goes the content sales, less and less. There are other content competitors too, plus Spotify and Netflix and advertising based streaming, and the ability to bypass the stores and stream direct, listing titles on databases. I've known there is a problem since the top Newton and the original ARM based educational notebook dissapeard. The cube, the floppy and optical drives. No pro touch 3D or OLED TV. All past reasons to buy. They need new blood. Pre iMac flat pack second generation blood. Even I could have a go at that.

            A Trillion dollar Titanic looking for a iceberg.

            What they could do. No port fashion phone. All port professional phone. Open software market install, no spying. A subscription services psck. Extreme privacy and hardware switches. With per app hypervisor type virtualisation, for protection. At half the price for either. Which means the base price is half that of an iPhone SE.

            With the Macs, fashion Mac for audio visual and gaming. Pro Mac's with every modern port and drive, and other physical features (touch, lay down and auto 3D) 4k-16k support. Half price. 30 inch Slate -84 inch table sizes, and more for commercial touch video walls and upmarket home theatre). 16 bit 4:4:4 hdr 1000-4000 nits full screen rec2020 and above colour gamut. Quality good priced products to luxury products.

            That's just some of the existing markets that can be revitalised.

              AnonD-1033007, 22 Apr 2022Can someone tell me the REAL reason why people hate Apple? Hate is a bit too much to describe it. It's more of economic choice. People generally don't hate Apple. Some fandroid here are a bit too fanatic of android. People simply don't buy iphone because its expensive and doesn't fit their lifestyle. It's analogous to an average salary man wearing a freaking expensive Rolex. If it doesn't match your wealth just don't. Apple is treated like a status symbol like any high end brand. It safer to opt for regular Android device if it fit your budget.

                Omg, it's unbelievable, you can't say anything negative about Apple or iOs. Your post would get deleted by moderators. But you can bash, insult and trash Android and its OEMS, and it's OK.

                      Regarding camera: there are dozens of androids being able to resolve more line pairs (meaning better optics and resolution) than iphones, with more zoom range, better night modes, more natural processing, and so on. Not my fault if you only have experience with entry level androids, i guess.. For the rest, social media apps not being able to access camera 2+ api is to blame. But wo really needs all the hdr fakery for a miniature social media picture that is forgotten after a day.

Unix like systems are my only preferences and DOS like ones are always to avoid. If a Mac is provided in my workplace then I'm ok with it, if a laptop of another brand is provided I'll just install Linux on it and if Windows is mandatory, well you guess it, just use a Linux VM. As far as my phone goes, just use an iPhone like 90% of people people that I know, just enough with Android bugs and crappy camera experience, I just want something powerful and optimized and the only phones being like that is the iPhone.
