    Rick, 29 May 2013With Laggy and Buggy androidApparently you have never used Android, there is nothing laggy or buggy on my S3 running CM 10.1/ JB 4.2.2, it is buttery smooth and fast, yes it is a CUSTOM ROM, something Apple will NOT allow you to do. Their stock has crashed "down over 80%" and big investing houses has dumped it, and keep dumping it. Android is taking over at a ridiculous fast pace, and Apple is still in denial, only way to slow down the competition is to take them to court, but it has failed miserably. Once Apple realizes that their iPhone is the not all, then maybe they will start inovating again, instead of litigating.

      Just means Apple not innovating at all, and now following Android's innovations.

              The interview's transcript could be transformed into a book, with the title along the lines of 'How to look like a trend-setter and fail miserably to answer consumers' demands, thereby dooming your company, a guide by Tim Cook, world expert on the matter'. Apple shouldn't get away with the things it does, and the fact that it only tries to exploit customers.

                  yeah it takes a lot of hard work to make the iphone 4 laggy in real racing 3 and finally making the scrolling choppy in the latest ipad. Good job.

                      this no-multi-tier phone strategy is, in my opinion, what causes people to think they're "cool and better" than android users or any other kind of phone. its because there is no cheap iteration of iphone which is what would ruin the iphone image.
                      the reason im posting this because im terribly bored lol

                        I really do hate such marketing word

                        "So we haven’t become defocused [by] working on multiple lines."

                        Just say that you don't and not because of this or that...

                        If you guys really know what I meant, you guys would hate it too.

                          but also apple has a history of denying whatever its rumored that apple might do and then just going ahead and releasing exactly what was rumored.

Where is all the smartphone/tablet innovation coming from these days? Samsung. Apple may have invented the smartphone and tablet sectors, but it's Android that is making them great.
