How much do you miss him on a scale from 1 to 10?
8/10
With him Apple had at least some uniqueness. I even considered getting an iPhone. Now their phones are just yet another line of thin shovels.
0b1010
In 2011 when I lurked /g/ constantly and went to see talks by Stallman (twice): 0/10
In recent years after starting to use, like, and prefer Apple products: 6/10
This week when I've been reading "Becoming Steve Jobs" (last chapter now): 10/10
>>57031087
about a 2 but that goes up to 10 after every Apple conference and you see how far they are falling in design and innovation and vision.
Apple is so controlled by their own desire for money now it's not even funny. 3 years with the same phone design for the iPhone. Like 6 years of the same macbook. Apple Watch is still so fucking shit. Siri hasn't been improved in years. Apple Maps still a fucking shit. Design abortions like that mouse and charging case. Airpods shit. MacOS is nothing new, it's being called MacOS for literally no reason at all. iPad Pro what a fucking joke.
Steve Jobs left them ways to make money but no vision for the future. I hope their cars won't be total shit.
>>57031087
>Apple hardware is locked down as shit
>Windows has become a spyware platform with OS functions on the side
I miss them both, to be honest.
>>57031087
he was a self righteous prick, but he got them doing something different, even if it was dumb shit half the time
-50
Quite a bit. However, Apple is much better without him, he started something good but he was also the biggest hindrance of Apple. He had a lot of dumb ideas, he was extremely stubborn. Tim Cuck and Jony Ive are all Apple needs.
A solid 8
>>57031166
Apple isn't doing anything out of the ordinary. You're a clueless teenager if you think they're not just carrying out their 15 year product roadmap which Jobs already had a part in.
For example, the AirPods. Adapted from the EarPods which were in development since around 2008-9. Since that date Apple already knew they were going to make them wireless earphones around this time and so made a design that would suit both while also putting in research to try and make them fit well. Try anyway.
>>57031087
Welp, I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone. Nobody deserves to have to die - not Jobs, not Mr. Bill - not even people guilty of bigger evils than theirs. But we all deserve the end of Jobs' malign influence on people's computing.
Unfortunately, that influence continues despite his absence. We can only hope his successors, as they attempt to carry on his legacy, will be less effective..
>>57031087

RIP Steve. You were the best

Apple is worse off without him. Ive hasn't produced something unique since Bush left office
>>57034035

A good 7, he was an amazing meme machine. Tim cook is just a flaming homosexual and annoying.
>>57031166
I don't even think Jobs would have made the Apple Watch, it was just Tim Cook jumping on the meme bandwagon. Jobs was doing a reinvention of the TV before he died iirc.
>>57036005
I agree, the watch was a half baked concept, underpowered and not useful.
Jobs might have shipped it eventually but probably only about the time we get the V3.
Miss when Apple used to innovate in areas other than dongles
Imagine a world without Tim Cook's stupid fucking celebrity skits every WWDC
everything was much more fun when /g/ was getting told by master Steve at every turn

8.5/10. Apple didn't sign on to the NSA eschelon program while he was alive. Jobs was the last big hold out. Tim Cook signed up the same month or the month after he died.
>>57031087
Steve Jobs would feel super cucked if he came back to life to find out the woman he married shortly began dating again after he died despite inheriting millions of dollars and she goes on pleasure cruise trips with her current lover and doesn't even try to hide from the paparazzi.
Steve Jobs would die a second time if he could see that and knows that he lost yet again to Bill Gates because at least Bill Gates' wife doesn't seem like a gold digger.
I feel bad for Steve Jobs. He died before finding his true soulmate.
>>57036467
Wow she literally got B L A C K E D
>>57031087
I can agree with >>57031109
I hate Apple and Steve was a dickhead but at least with him at the helm it made Apple somewhat always worth taking notice of.
Now it is slowly falling apart. The blackhole that Steve's passing left is causing us to see Apple disintegrate in slow motion towards his distortion field event-horizon.
>>57034116
sweet, you're saving $50
>>57036454
No, probably what happened is Jobs outright refused while blowing a gasket at whomever notified him of the plan. He likely went kamikaze and stated to not only implode Apple to not comply, but, inform the public of what was going on. Knowing that he was probably gonna die thought the government would have waited until someone succeeded him and then pushed them on the issue.
10.6
>>57036609
Having read his biography I can imagine the absolute rage fit he had when they asked him to allow the NSA a backdoor in to their MacOS and iOS.
The ego rage fit would have been a site to see.

>>57031087
Who's that?
4/10, Apple was always about overpriced computers for casuals, but at least they made different, innovating shit for it's time, nowadays they just sell hardware with the same "thin" gimmicks and small software features that Linux distros and Android will mimic and improve some days later.
Hell i dont even know if they care about computers anymore, nowadays that Windows is <100 IQ retard friendly i don't think apple has much left to do.
-1/10
>>57031087
still using my 2011 mac air and iphone 4s.... they are timeless - probably the last things he approved
honestly he would of built some highspeed satellite network by now instead of hoarding the iphone profits.... he originally wanted to shaft the celluar carriers when he was designing the first iphone ....
I started on an Apple ][+ and I always hated the guy. Woz has been the one for whom I've had a modicum of respect.
>>57041246
Woz is a meme
>>57041322
Like RMS
Funny thing is, most people see steve as the guy who brings apple to become a premium brand, golly gee, people doesnt know how much my dad paid for a fucking 68040 based mac in early 90s, its nearly 10 grand. Compare that price to the macs post steve return in 98, i still remember my dads drooling face when he learn that those faggy imac g3 only priced 1499$
>>57039881
im still using an iphone 4
of course he did. he was a greedy little fag.

while that is a stupidly costly pc, 8 years (from the 68040 release to your imac g3 in 2008) is a stupidly long time in tech
8 years ago in 2008 the q6600/8800gts combo were still hot shit, we were using ddr2 on primarily 720p/1680x1050 monitors with 1900x1200/1080p being high end, 1440p being a pipe dream
a $1200-ish rig that could barely manage crysis at 1680x1050 on high back then would be doable for $300 today, with $200ish cpus catching up

I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone.
8, after El Crapitan, watch and pen...10,
After Sierra... 100.
Needed a snow leopard type bug fix / optimization release for many years but nope, nothing but bugs and regressions, introduced by useless features no one ever wanted or cares about. Too much focus on keeping shareholders happy as opposed to keeping customers happy.

Even if you dislike Apple, Steve was a quite of a guy. Has the same Elon Musk aura that makes you think that a person can introduce game changing products. Even if that doesn't happen in decades.

Can't stand the keynotes now. The other heads of Apple are shit in comparison and whoever is directing the keynotes is an idiot. Plus Jony has no filter anymore.
>>57036005
What makes me the most mad is the constant meme products apple is releasing now. The iwatch is a waste because the mobile phone made watches obsolete. Steve Jobs was already reinventing the t.v when he died. The first use i can remember of anyone using their t.v for streaming shoes or movies was in 2007 on the apple tv. To put that in perspective youtube launched in 2005 and the video quality was shit. So now we live in a time where no one wants a cable provider for anything other then internet and we can thank Steve Jobs and the hard working people at apple.
>>57034035
my $400 Thinkpad t520 is far more powerful
I noticed his absence the minute iOS updated it's look. Everything about the design turned into absolute garbage. Most of the shit they're putting out today would have been ripped apart by him.
>>57039881
my gf has a 2010 macbook pro that i use all the time. Last year the graphics card went kurt cobain. i took it into the applestore to see how much they would fix for free (we had no warranty). guy says that they can take it and send it to corporate and maybe they can get the card working again. 2 weeks later i get a call to come pick it up. They replaced literally everything but the hdd and the board. I tell em that im not going to pay for it because i strictly said i was not going to pay any money for it and they tell me its all free. So now me a qt3.14 gf share a 2010 macbook pro with a i5, 8gb ram. Thnx based steve jobs.
