Nokia was 2 years ahead but blew it sleeping on its laurels when it should have designed its phones like Apples with the minimalistic look as users are turned off by if not scared of buttons.

                  The Android Freak, 13 Jul 20225G is still two years away in US. strongly disagree. 2 years away is inline with my original prediction for 5g but at the very least tmo has pleasantly surprised me. At least in New York State (not just city) i get great speeds. Currently in the middle of nowhere and i get over 300 mbps down.

                  Im sure ultra wide band is far off but 5g is all over

The iPhone design peaked with the 5-series (2012) that Steve Jobs had input before his death in October 2011. Then Apple slowly faded with their creativity after Jobs died and they fired Scott Forstall who helped design iOS. Apple is left with Tim Cook who is a bean counter. But he's the richest gay guy in Silicon Valley.

                        He must have gotten bored with the lack of innovation in Apple designs of late. They apparently didn't allow him to make radical design changes. Look at the more and more boxy iPhones. They're beyond boring.

Have been reading ‘After Steve’ recently, and from that it’s strongly suggested that after Job’s passing Apple moved ever further away from what Ive was used to.

                              In the end whether it was through his belief that he done all he wanted to do at Apple or the growing anguish over the direction the company has gone since the death of jobs, I think his departure was inevitable anyway.

When you work on such high level as he did at Apple, you kinda get bored over time and you want new challenges. It's usually top reason why people leave such companies, because money for sure wasn't the reason. He wasn't a store clerk in Apple Store for minimal wage after all.

                                  I mean, same reason why people like Jim Keller move around even though they were top engineers working on worlds most ground breaking chips for both AMD and Intel.
