So we can all agree Apple has stalled, right?

they aren't moving any slower than they were 10 years ago
i mean they haven't invented a neural net or anything """revolutionary""" like the first iphone
but in terms of product development things are about the same

>>62084465
>things are about the same
But that's the issue: NOTHING new has been released recently except a laptop with no F keys.

They're the world's biggest tech company and the world's biggest overall company and they're on the way to be the first ever trillion dollar company with more products and updates in the pipeline. 'Stalled', yeah sure maybe in your bubble reality.

Apple might score a win in the future if they can follow through on their pitch to make a new Mac Pro desktop that is modular. We'll see. (I'm guessing late 2019 for this)

I think they did and are starting to figure out how to exist without Steve's playbook. The iMac pro, while being a weird idea, is a good start. Adding ports back to the mbp while keeping a couple USB c ports would be a good next step.

Imagine a stable nix distro with a nice UI, actual support, good power management, and hardware designed specifically for it. Also the hardware can run both windows and Linux pretty well.

This is /g/. We talk about tech here. Apple's tech has stalled. No one is arguing about how much money/ business sense Apple has. If they can keep passing off shitty memes like the touchpad as a selling point, that's good business. The argument is that Apple hasn't made any legitimately different, innovative improvements.

Good joke.

Even XXXTREME GAYMIN laptops are more energy efficient in Windows with their tiny batteries than fruitbooks running bloatOS.

Maybe in college. Building enterprise software is far more demanding, and it's not uncommon to be running several local servers at once in addition to VMs, a sql editor, etc...

I only just recently got my first ever apple product and that was only because it was free. It's an old gen 3 appletv. It's pretty neat for what it is but the downside is the damn thing only has a set number of apps you can't add any others like you can on the 4th gen. Why the hell was this allowed?

>>62084695
The best time to charge that up would be overnight when you're not using it.

>>62084257
Yes. The only Apple device I own off the top of my head is a 4th gen iPod Touch that just collects dust, but I still feel quite bad for their current situation. Recent design situations have been awful (the meme images of their mouse that charges on the bottom, the apple pencil that sticks out, etc.), and they are not doing anything _exciting_. I wish there was something I could do to help. I bet if they made their OS completely free software, that could really kick things into gear and start a new era of Apple relevancy. Bonus points if they somehow freed their hardware.

Why.

I wouldn't give a shit about Apple if other manufacturers didn't insist on copying them. The days of the early smartphone market were glorious with unique designs and extra features like removable batteries and holes for headphones. Now they're just boring bricks and becoming increasingly featureless.

>>62089400
>The days of the early smartphone market were glorious

that's just nostaliga talking anon. early smartphones were absolute shit compared to what we've gotten the last 5-10 years. a phone today can do more than any phone 10+ years ago, so if anything they're constantly gaining features.

They are still ahead, it's just harder to see it.

The iPhone 8 is going to be OLED, 500+ ppi, 120hz, slimmest bezels of any phone, excellent camera, and face/iris detection that actually works consistently. Every android phone is gimped in one of those categories, and none can match the refresh rate.

>>62089400
>>62089436

I've never owned a smart phone yet , yeah sad I know but at least my flip phone has some personality/uniqueness to it's design instead of just being a "boring brick" as you say. It's a shame we can't have the best of both worlds.

That keyboard looks like absolute shit. LG had one that I thought was ok, but using an android phone with a keyboard like that felt somewhat inefficient, since navigating menus and doing general stuff was so much faster using the touch screen.

Software aside, the hardware engineering/manufacturing decisions Apple are making of late are certifiably retarded. It baffles me that self respecting hardware engineers in their employ subject themselves to Apple's recent insanity.

This is not to say they have a flawless historical engineering reputation, but this latest stuff (particularly with the MacBook Pro) is baffling on an entirely new level.

- Worse keyboard build quality
- Worse trackpad that is awkwardly oversized
- Removal of standard stereo socket
- Poor battery life
- Slow SSD performance
- Zero user serviceable options
- Hilarious price points for all options
- Removal of ports that offer standard functionality that even the most basic of users miss
- Removal of MagSafe ports (This truly is strange. This was a fine feature)

I get business decisions that funnel end-users down intentional paths, but for a company like Apple that is certainly not scrabbling for cash, these decisions are clearly to their detriment. They are actually tainting their reputation, even among many of the mindless automations that default to their offerings without question. This speaks volumes to me.

I expect their next 'serious' hardware revisions (again, particularly when it comes to the MacBook Pro line) to perhaps reconsider some of these retarded decisions. At the same time, the ego of that company suggests otherwise, which is entertaining in itself.
