Posted December 13, 2015 after watching some old Apple tech launches it seems like Apple under Steve Jobs was the most innovative company at the time, seeing what he compared the original Air to it seems to me like every product he brought out was a game changer and well worth the price. Now Apples turned to shit, I just hate to have seen Tim Cook run the company into the ground even if they still do make a hefty profit. What do you think?

Posted December 13, 2015 No, they died when Steve Wozniak left. Well, they didn't die, they just stopped innovating, and became a "bake and re-bake" style company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 13, 2015 Watch a Tim Cook commercial, and watch him explain a technology that's existed for decades. Then, watch him tell you how it's a revolutionary breakthrough for technology. Repeat. There, you have every new Apple commercial. I used to be quite active here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 13, 2015 Apple used to take working products, and make them look nice while still functional. Now they take working products, make them look premium, and lower their functionality by quite a bit. blackshades on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) after watching some old Apple tech launches it seems like Apple under Steve Jobs was the most innovative company at the time, seeing what he compared the original Air to it seems to me like every product he brought out was a game changer and well worth the price. Now Apples turned to shit, I just hate to have seen Tim Cook run the company into the ground even if they still do make a hefty profit. What do you think? Steve Jobs was certainly in Apple's prime, although if he were still alive today would he have run out of ideas? Who knows. I know Jobs wouldn't have allowed for some of the dumb designs and decisions made today.

Posted December 13, 2015 I have to agree with @MagnesiumPC. The Woz was a genius of early home computing. Jobs was always just a really good "used car salesman" type figure. Apple has long since lost their original plot.

Posted December 13, 2015 Who is Steve Wozniak? Guys I'm just kidding don't get mad pls I am FURIOUS. In a way, I think some of the good ideas and designs went with Jobs. Now they seem to be obsessed with making devices as thin as possible. Still, it hasn't stopped them from making even more money than before.

Posted December 13, 2015 Who is Ron Wayne? PS HE IS THE ORIGINAL FOUNDER OF APPLE. But who was phone? Whats changed since he died? Bad phone design, bad laptop design, bad battery pack design. You conveniently left those out. EDIT: I'm talking about the new Macbook that has one freaking port on it. EDIT 2: I'm wondering if it's more than just Cook that's the issue, much like how people conveniently blame Obama in the states for literally anything.

Still, it hasn't stopped them from making even more money than before. i think jobs would agree on making things as thin as possible with no thought about the battery life. and iphone would still be 4.7 inches at 720p and there would be no stylus or keyboard for the ipad pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
