this guaranteed that he'd be first in line when the technology actually matured but it also guaranteed 20 years of failure

no, apple makes reasonably well designed, well built, well supported, products out of decent materials. supported by a national chain of stores and service centers.

they manage to do this while making incredible profits.

it's not some RDF voodoo magic wielded posthumously by steve job's glowering specter, it's just good business.

nah every smart phone is roughly equally a piece of poo poo. phones are generally garbage. micro$haft phones could maybe be good if there were any apps for it or anything but aneroid and ivesos is definitely both garbage

i know this was 3 pages ago but i'm still laughing at the concept of apple adding nfc

seriously they were always like "poo poo BE USELESS" and we're pushing for low-power bt who the the gently caress is this analyst

that's like saying apples gonna release a cheap, inexpensive net book running windows 8 to compete with dell holky gently caress

if it looks very likely apple will announce an iwatch everyone here will cry "tiiimbbbbb" and say what a dumb idea it is (like the 7" tablet form factor) then when it comes out they'll buy one anyway and it'll be bad but since this place is a more shameful iyg for apple stuff we'll get pages of purchase defenses then everyone will quietly stop talking about it outside of occasionally saying it'd be good if there was a retina version for some loving reason
