And of course, i weight in

>product
Touchbar MacBook
>person
Nutella, killing divisions and products left and right
>company
Apple. 2016 was their worst by far
>event
The Pixel launch
>innovation
PSVR
>>
>>57599852
This but I put Galaxy Note 7 as an alternate candidate for:
>product
>>
>>57599947
My fuck, i forgot that fiasco
Ty
>>
>>57599798
>product
Exploding Note 7
>person
Shiller. After the >no jack debacle, seeing him try to justify the new MBP was hilarious.
>company
I'd be tempted to say Apple or Samsung, but if we add foundations, Mozilla is clearly a challenger.
>event
Pixel Launch was the most underwhelming.
>innovation
The only innovations I can think of this year are the botnet dildo and the ddos from IoT devices with Mirai.
>>
>>57599798
>product
Macbook "we werent brave enough to remove the headphone jack, but brave enough to remove almost everything else" 2016
>person
Donald "encryption backdoor is okay" trump
>company
Apple, and their beginning of a long, slow, painful decline.
>event
Galaxy note 7, the whole thing
>innovation
VR, and their target audience disconnect
>>
>>57599798
Everything past 2009 was a mistake. Technology is heading towards redundancy and form rather than improving functionality and optimization so smaller and more mobile devices can overshadow traditional x86 computers reducing consumption of power and cost of buying hardware every 6 months.
>>
>>57599852
>touchbar

>not removal of a headphone jack
>or should I say, a courageous iphone 7
>>
>>57599852
If anything, Nutella has been saving Microsoft.

>PRODUCT
Tempted to say "anything VR" but the note 7 fucking explodes and isn't allowed on planes

>PERSON
Phil Schil for trying his damndest to sell the Macbook with Emoji Bar

>Company
LG has just now released its third consecutive bootlooping flagship phone

>Event
Pixel reveal and the Oculus price reveal are tied

>innovation
"virtual reality," or $600+ devices with a BOM of $203 ensuring the whole industry is dead on arrival. Runner-up: phone manufacturers copying apple on the "no headphone jack" but not the waterproof shit
>>
>>57599798

Galaxy Note 7

>Person
Johnny Ive (he really loves the $300 Apple book)

>Company

>justify the new macbook
He didn't have to justify anything. They sold record amounts and intel fucked up on the RAM
>>57600120
>le courage meme
>painful decline
Have fun hanging on to legacy ports for 10 years.
>>57602639
This is the shit you fucking pajeet/poorfag retards keep spamming with anecdotal evidence and no idea about anything. Lastpass fucked up, not Apple. Apple can't possibly anticipate shitty third party devs being incompetent.
>>
>>57599852
pretty much this, but maybe I would change Rajesh Nutella because I actually liked the Microsoft Surface Studio and mental canvas.
>>
>>57602704
Do apple shills do it for free?

My ass
It's the same sales success as the PS4

>>57602911
The bar is helping you type your password, literally putting it there

>>57602929
>a sales success isn't a success because I said so
Ok kid. Adults look at numbers.

>>57603342
>bad reviews
Coming from:
>autists on /g/
>an autist on youtube that people keep parroting
>people who didn't buy the macbook to begin with
AKA the vocal minority. This shit happens over and over. The /g/ echo chamber is full of lonely angsty nerds that like to shit on everything to make them feel better about themselves.
>>
>>57603447
Im sorry but that is not the case
Back to the topic, there's already enough Apple threads in here
