Have you noticed the iPhone wasn't as successful as people think?
It is easily beaten by Samsung and others.
Even fucking nokia was still strong.

Apple has one/two model of phone at a time.
Samsung puts out flagships to compete with the Apple iPhone on the western market (ie people who can afford it) and churns out bazillions of cheap disposable phones for parts of the world where there are more smartphones than toilets like india.
If Apple made "pooPhone Sriksha Edition" for the price of those "Samsung Galaxy Prime Ace Dual-Sim" phones it would sell by the gorillions because every brown xda developer dreams about apple logo on his phone.

Let me interject here. This is stupid. The whole existence of Apple is based on fooling its stupid customers into buying expensive hardware into an an extremely more expensive markup, e.g. hardware that costs 400, they sell it 800.
If they abandoned that model they would be kill. Their whole trick in fooling people is that. Buy "good", fool people it's excellent and god-line and sell it 2X the price of others.
Anyway, enjoy your $400 hardware for the $800 you gave and fuck off.

A buttblasted andropoverty user, how surprising.
Product is worth what people are willing to pay for it not "it costed them $10 per unit to make it therefore it's a ripoff they ask for more than $15 with shipping reee"
Just because you think your $400 budget phone does more than $800 product branded with an apple doesn't mean entire world thinks the same.
>If they abandoned that model they would be kill.
It's a successful model, it would be stupid to abandon it.
Apple's success did not appear from nowhere.
It's part brand loyalty, part good marketing, part being well oriented on the market.
See how much apple devices retain value on the used market.
Flagship from Samsung costs half of the initial cost after a year.
I use a blackberry device since this information seems important to you in deciding whether to consider someone's opinions valid or just berate them as a "shill"

How would you realistically improve Windows 10?
>Remove legacy code
This is why the "Windows is bloated meme" exists. If they add a new file explorer, get rid of the old one. Fuck the enterprise users. Learn something new.
>Allow Telemetry and other "core features" to be turned off
Most users don't look into these types of settings, the botnet would still be on by default. Same goes for Cortana.
>Design a tablet and desktop mode
Live tiles are shit, so is the entire Windows UI. Microsoft put too much stock into their Surface Pros taking off and completely fucked the design.
The desktop mode would just be the Windows 7 start menu and tablet mode would be similar to Windows 8/8.1.
>Remove dumb apps like Xbox, Candy Crush, etc
There's honestly zero need for these. At least give people the option to install them via installation. "Do you want to put this pointless bullshit on your computer? No? Neat." Microsoft has to realize the majority of people that use Windows are average PC users, gaymers and businesses. No business, gamer or average person wants GameDVR running in the background 24/7.
>Hire a designer and make a more consistent attractive UI
The new Project Neon shit looks promising, but somehow they're messing it up. The transparency of the windows is fine, but they're trying too hard to appeal to phone/tablet users. There's way too many buttons. The interface should be clear and concise.
Even if you have to copy Apple, you might as well do it.

at the very least release a separate enterprise version. "Add or remove features" is supposed to mean something.
>There's honestly zero need for these. At least give people the option to install them via installation
correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those tiles (except bullshit like mail, xbox) just hooks to install the real program from the windows store? Also, they sell those tiles, it's part of how they make money.
>Hire a designer and make a more consistent attractive UI
Jesus fucking christ yes
KDE is, right now, a better windows than windows.
>>58696653
>Wouldnt that remove backwards compatibility?
only for certain legacy apps, especially for shit like Win2000/ME/whatever. I think the current 10 compatibility goes back as far as Vista.

Thinkpad fedorapros:
I can't recommend enough that you give the macbook a go. The trackpad is just sublime, the display looks better, the keyboard is good enough and the computers are cheap (second-hand obviously).

I'm fed up with Sony Vegas Pro 13. I record using bandicam pro, and since it puts out .AVI files, Vegas decides to fuck me all the time. So I'm biting the bullet and just gonna have to learn to use a new program.
Whats the best program considering I use .AVI /g/? I have heard good things about Adobe Premiere for people switching off Sony Vegas.

Try Davince Resolve. The free version has enough features for a professional editor.

Premiere Pro should do you fine. DaVini is totally free (no demo length) but has a much harder learning curve than other programmes. Premiere has easy links to things like After Effects.
I'd also suggest trying out other screen capture programmes, AVI output is pretty old and is probably the main reason you're having problems editing anything.

My scanner stopped working on the newest version of OSX about 1 year ago because the maker stopped updating the drivers.
The scanner still works perfectly on Windows 10 and Ubuntu without searching around for drivers or using paid scanning software.
Why do people still use OSX?

So, I've downloaded the whole Rick and Morty season 1 and I couldn't play it. After realizing it was coded with h.265, I upgraded my "K-lite codec pack" (I still don't know if it is a pirate software, open source or what, but it works).
The problem is, playing the video in my notebook produces a lot of heat (it has intel core 5) and changing the video foward and backwards is slow and de-synchronize the sound for some seconds.
Is there a solution for this? I've read that you need new gpu's h.265 or something like this.
Does this new codec uses THAT MUCH of processor capacity (consider in a notebook heat production is a problem)?
