If only Apple was the Nintendo of the phone world, but sadly they are far from it.

Especially the new name "iPhone Xs MAX". Why can't it be IPhone Max instead? 

Because it would be nicknamed iMax, which would infringe upon IMAX.

 

 

But, I also love the idea of iPad Max. More maxipad jokes of that ever becomes a thing.

I feel like Jobs was an angry narcissist slave driver guy that would snap at any mistake. He probably got involved at every step of the process and never took « no » for an answer. 

 

Tim Cook is just more shy and doesn’t want to intervene too much.

I always find threads like these baffling, because to me Apple has gotten much, much better since Jobs died. 

 

Sure they have done some horrible stuff like removing the headphone jack, but they did those kinds of things under Jobs too. The biggest difference I have seen is a focus on customer privacy as well as far less frivolous lawsuits.

It always baffles me when people increasingly canonize Steve Jobs as some kind of messiah figure.

 

Jobs had some good ideas. He fostered some innovation and some great products.

 

But he was also an asshole and a terrible human being. He also contributed to multiple failures, and he almost ran Apple into the ground before being fired, and then ironically saved the company after being rehired.

sometimes the only way you can make a bunch of dirty hippies something good is through abuse and taking credit.
