Some idiots gonna come here and say “ItS BecAusE TheY PoliSh ThEIr ProDucts” understand that there products were polished 10 or so years ago and still managed to be innovative
Iam an Apple fanboy, but the truth is that Apple has shifted to playing it safe, abandoning the innovation that once defined the company. Staying at the top requires taking risks, a quality this generation of Apple leadership seems unwilling to embrace. It’s disappointing from a brand that once revolutionized the industry.
M-series chips wasn't a risk? First USB-C only desktops and laptops wasn't a risk? Integration straight into ChatGPT wasn't a risk? Setting off on Private Cloud Compute isn't a bold journey? Perhaps we've all just become so used to the revolutionary playbook that we fail to be shocked and awed by it. But it doesn't mean it's not there.
@@Äpple-pie-5kubc only was a bad risk nobody asked for. A laptop with just ubc. Apple are so late to the ai thing u can't even call it a risk. M series is the only innovation we have had this decade. Would be nice if apple was first to innovate. If apple was still like that the iPhone would have gone all screen along time ago, silly things like sticking to lightning for 10 years would never happen. Old apple just wouldn't let the competition be better. Mac is good, iPad is ok, but the iPhone is being left in the dust by android 😭
@@miscipsakitsune4667 I know nobody said it was an innovation. I was referring to how Apple presents their yearly product releases. I use Apple Products daily with a mixed of Galaxy and Windows PC so, I don't think I have an issue. If I'm not mistaken, society has an issue of demanding too high and not wanting true innovation like what LG used to do.
@@miscipsakitsune4667 No one ever said it was "innovation", yes, but it's how Apple presents their yearly products to us. I daily Apple Devices, along with a Galaxy phone and a Windows PC so I don't think there's anything wrong with me. What there's wrong with is the society wanting more and not real innovation like what LG used to do.
@@elytthat’s because they are talking to their main target audience and that’s the consumer who needs to be talked to like that because they are not tech nerd. Many people criticize Apple for the way they do things but they forget that the vast majority of people who buy Apple aren’t tech nerds, they won’t be able to tell the difference between 60hz screen and one that is 120. They don’t need some ultra zoom camera or even AI. These type of people just want something that works, that’s supper simple and that can add more value to someone’s productivity work via an eco system that not only works but that works super well and that is leagues ahead of anything any Android can offer. That’s the Apple core audience, none tech nerds.
Just bought an iPhone for the 1st time and not having numbers on the keyboard is one of my biggest frustrations.. Let alone a God damn comma or full stop
@ right? I’ve written them about this. No response. It’s prob another aesthetics over function decision. Which is ridiculous. It’s prob no decision at all, they don’t care. At least having the option for it would be nice.
Apple has lost their way to innovate. They’re too worried about MONEY instead of innovating and really changing things for the consumer/the world. Look how they missed the boat on AI. If they weren’t so focused on a bunch of different products to just throw out there to take in the money. They wouldn’t have missed the whole AI scene. We miss Steve Jobs.
“M” Series Chips were/are a breakthrough when they came out. Not always we will get a new physical gadget from Apple just to simply demonstrate Apple’s greatness, sometimes breakthroughs are on the details.
In all fairness they weren't really a breakthrough were they they're based on ARM lithography and that's British, I don't know why everyone's giving Apple the credit for these chips when they're actually based on British designs
I agree. For example I upgraded from iPhone 11 Pro Max to 16 Pro Max and --Apple Intelligence aside-- they're basically still the same phone. YET for some reason a plethora of tiny updates has come together to make it a significant upgrade. I'm not saying Apple couldn't do even better--I'd like to see more stability, efficiency, optimization, bug fixes, and evolving the UI to the reality of it being 6.9" where your thumb can't reach the top to swipe. But all my newer Apple devices are definitively BETTER than the older Apple products I loved, so claiming they're going down the tubes is a bit exaggerated. But yeah we need a little flurry of optimization, efficiency, debugging, and refining what's been done so far.
@Mr__Anon-E-Mouse Bro drop the blind Apple hate and appreciate tech leaps when you see them. They brought in insane power management and unified memory, they literally spoiled every other laptop for me and I wish there was a Linux alternative but there isn't, they shit on absolutely everything at a fraction of the power. Besides, ARM was a joint venture from Acorn, Apple and another company, so what now?
What details have the come out with since the M1? The apple right now isn’t what it used to be. Their quality and attention to detail surely has taken a fall.
Nobody wants a liar who sits there and says "we need innovation" when there is none to be made. Everyone likes the new ipad mini this guy clearly wants clicks.
@@00z53 He's speaking for me as someone who is still on a 13 Pro Max and doesn't have a compelling reason to upgrade, who is on an iPad mini from 2020 and doesn't have a compelling reason to upgrade, who has a two year old Apple Watch and no compelling reason to upgrade. Just because he buys products to evaluate doesn't mean he is a cheerleader. It's his literal job to evaluate.
Couldn't agree more. I was so disappointed by Apple Intelligence. It's simply not good. I can't use it to improve my writing. It ruins the context of the entire message almost every time. It's basically like having someone with a thesaurus to swap simple words for bigger words all while not appearing to have any idea what the intended meaning behind the message is supposed to be.
The guy that Apple bought Siri from was an AI expert that wanted to bring AI to Sire. Apple drove him out in little over a year and we were left with a broken Siri for a decade. Just think had they had vision and listened to him about AI and Siri.
I agree. There is a way to 'teach' AI to write better and more naturally, by starting with a prompt, something like: You are a writing assistant. Vary the sentence length, follow the Elements of Style, and write in the style of [Your favorite Author, but not Hemingway or Faulkner]. Write for a 7th grade audience using simple words with impact. .... If you search through some of the earlier RUclips videos for 'writing like a person', you may find specific prompt suggestions that will generate reasonable prose.
The problem is these companies don’t reinvest enough time or money into their products or services. The money is just held there for investors to cash out when they’re ready to, the problem is everywhere.
The button itself isn't a joke. It is actually a very good input for the camera albiet in the wrong position. It is however a bad justification to justify an upgrade from an older iphone to the 16 line. Anyone with a working iPhone is better off staying where they are.
“Why isn’t apple making new things for the sake of making new things” This is the mindset behind enshittification and software bloat, no thanks. Apple needs to fix the shit that’s broken FIRST.
I been android users for 7 years in 2021 I did switch from LG 8 phone to iPhone 13 Pro Max and get Apple Watch SE first generation and AirPods Pro I’m enjoying it so much I will not go back to android
iPhone 13 Pro Max was great. The new 16 Pro Max, the camera and Lidar are badly engineered. Trading in was a major waste of money. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra would be a lot better if not for the malware and security breaches almost nonexistent on iOS.
I just bought the refurbished by Apple beautiful Sierra Blue 13 Pro Max 1TB because the upgrades since then don’t tempt me and unlike most I love the lightning port and I have dozens of cables for it and I don’t transfer data.
Thats Great! It is worth your money, and all the features you are getting! Atleast your not getting lied to by android about their "Camera" features and quality because they just use AI to make it look better. I hope your enjoying your iPhone!!!
biggest red flags, the reason why i wasnt interested in the guinea pig iphone 16 pro and those goggles are so so outdated over priced and looks fkn stupid. they should just focus on "mobile(cell)phones" like a flip and a fold phone. samsung is already at it's 6TH! gen.
I tried to go Christmas shopping at the Apple store last week and remember realizing how stale every single product was. The only things worth it for me are Mac or AirPods 4. Everything else BEEN due for a major update.
Once Steve Jobs passed away and all the creative ingenuity was used that he left behind, his successor who has NO creative bone in his body, this is where we are
I am the furthest thing from an Apple apologist, BUT sometimes I feel like people look at past Apple with rose-colored glasses. The first iPhone was met with some skepticism and criticism for lacking features (like MMS), the lack of a tactile keyboard, and let’s not forget there was no App Store that came later. Then there was antennagate with iPhone 4, and bendgate with iPhone 6. I think part of the problem now is that it is hard to refine on product categories that many companies (including Apple) have refined to a razor’s edge. And consumers expect to be wowed with the “next big thing.”
This is 100% spot on. Cannot be fixed? Yes, just not by Tim Cook. Tim Cook is great at making money but he’s not a product guy. Apple needs the next Steve Jobs and/or Jonny Ive and they don’t have that. They have no taste makers. No one with heart. No one with style. No one with vision. I could run product development a lot better than Tim Apple.
Disagree. App quality and ecosystem feels like I went back in a time machine 10 years whenever I use Galaxy 24. And don't get me started on the hair pulling and teeth gnashing you have to do to get something even half as good as Apple's automations and shortcuts. Android fanbois squeal with glee over changing icon packs while iPhone users can literally customize the way the entire phone works.
@@joeking22 No. I develop on both platforms and it's an actual educated opinion. All opinions are somewhat subjective, but educated opinions form themselves based on reaction to facts. So, joeking22, I can only logically conclude that you are NOT a master guru on both platforms, or else you'd have enough basis of comparison to not think I'm joking.
@@Äpple-pie-5k Quite the contrary. I use both on a daily basis as an end user. iPhone for work and Android for personal use. Just because you write code on both platforms doesn't necessarily make you an expert. I have used, and promptly removed shit written apps. Who's to say that you are not one of those writing them? As far as app quality is concerned, that IS subjective as I have used the same app on one platform which behaves much better or has more features than the other and vise versa. In any case, your views as a "developer" is pointless as the article is projected from an end users perspective. Your attitude comes across as concieted.
Straight to the point, I'm an Android User, all Google and Samsung Products and there is a good reason for that. Samsung and Google have everything and more, the only thing I wish Android had years ago was an iMessage and FaceTime competitor and now we do-Google Meet and Google Messages. Google Meet works for iOS Users and Google Messages RCS works with iMessage. I currently use a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and its ridiculously great, could have a larger front screen I have to admit, but when I use it out in public some poeple look at it like its a product from Mars lol. They find it cool, especially iPhone Users. I'm a tech guy and Apple has never impressed me, and honestly I never liked Samsung either, but ever since I got a Samsung Galaxy Note8 and seen was Samsung is all about with an Open Ecosystem, Innovation, some copying, and making just about everything under the sun, I just find Samsung to be more impressive as Brand with what they accomplish. When Apple finally releases a Foldable iPhone using a Samsung Display Screen and calling it revolutionary, I'll be on my Scrollable/Rollable Samsung Galaxy Phone lol.
I've thought this for 2-3 years. They've been riding on the coattails of Steve Jobs innovations it seems, but the Mac mini was a good release, especially the last upgrade.
People are mad that the Vision Pro released and is a gen 1 product instead of a gen 5 product. Like…no shit right? The first iPhone didn’t even have copy and paste. Give them time to cook. They already laid the foundation to build on
I wish more content creators would put disclaimers like "This has been a problem for ME, and for many others..." Because to say it's been a terrible year for software and hardware from Apple for everyone is simply not true. Plus, Apple came out with bangers this year (i.e. Mac mini). I believe the iPhone 16 lineup is actually better than most people give credit, and the new Series 10, in my opinion, is the best form factor in the lineup's history, and the jet black color is SO CLEAN. This is all to say: I disagree with a lot of the video, and I wish there was more nuance to this conversation.
Controversial clickbait = lots of user-generated comment = higher recommendation algorithm = more views = $$$. Hope that explains what you just witnessed, because that's what it is.
Why do you need a disclaimer? Any opinion is obviously subjective, or do you ask for disclaimers also when watching news or chatting with your friends?
@@itisabird Obvious to us, but looking at many other comments, you have people drinking the koolaid like the Great Prophet himself had delivered the Laws of Nature themselves.
@@itisabird Not sure what your issue is, but I never said I needed it. I think as a creator like Sam who reports on things, presents his findings and experiences, and makes generalities about those experiences, yeah I think it's necessary to include that this is HIS experience. His clickbait headline, and what he puts in his video is up to his discretion. Since he allows comments on this video, I gave my opinion on it.
@@Äpple-pie-5k Appreciate the lesson lol I know why he did it this way, and I'm allowed to give my opinion on how he did it, and the content he chose to cover. That's why he also has the comments turned on.
Honestly the iPhone to me is perfect it just needs a much much better battery and screen and I’m good. I just think adding a silly button for the camera was just dumb when my action button already can do that. I most social media’s can’t render the highest iPhone or camera photos, and most people can’t tell the difference so why camera updates matter idk. Battery and speed matter more and if we wait 2 years just for that I think most would be happy with just that
I agree. Someone needs to realize the UI that worked on one-handed phones doesn't work on phones 6.3" and up. Time to do your suggestion exactly like you suggested it, and about a dozen or so other things that suffer a similar situation.
The universal “back button” is probably the only thing I miss from Android sometimes. With one-hand use,it can be very difficult to press the back button on top left to outright dangerous in case you lose grip on the device and it falls.
Simply as put, Tim needs to go . If I or anyone are spending a thousand dollars on this expensive toy, we Americans, or any other country should have some input in the future of this product . Americans , and other countries have great ideas on this product and add-ons
None of Apple's software works as it should. Each macOS update has fixed one major bug but brought a new one with it. My old M1 MacBook Air went from kernel crashing daily, to Safari crashing hourly, to it not updating, to iCloud not syncing, to the system wiping my desktop twice and finally the laptop getting bricked due to iCloud issues. I've had gigabytes of data disappear from iCloud (related to prior iCloud issues) and Logic Pro files reverting back to old version when moving them from iCloud to the local storage. My iPhone is also slow and buggy as hell
@@grahamevans8567 Trust me, I've tried other products. One other issue I've had was with my AirPods Pro's. Few months after buying them I started having connection issues periodically which evolved over a few months into won't connect at all. Had them replaced, had less severe issues with the new pairs, but still issues. I decided to replace them with Sony XM5's expecting them to be better. No. Still connection issues, and the left bud died less then a month after buying them. Sony support is a nightmare and I still haven't gotten them replaced/refunded. I also used to be an Android user and have looked at switching back, but the other side doesn't seem much greener, just different issues. Then I'd argue Windows is worse than MacOS in many ways, besides compatibility.
- AirPods - M-series silicon chips - AirTags - Apple Watch ( technically some digital watches were out already but they fleshed out most of the designs so others could follow ) - Apple Vision Pro ( even if it was a failure ) - Literally the iPhone X ( I know it fucked up the usual 2 years that apple released a phone, and that some stuff is very similar to some stuff from the palm phones, but goddamn the iPhone X was something ) Steve Jobs was a horrible person by the way, the crunch he put onto employees makes rockstar games look like a workplace from heaven, washed his feet with toilet water, and was just generally, a jerk basically. Tim Cook might be less innovative, but at least he isn't a jerk, and hey, it could be worse, we could have in the future some dumb exec at apple that would absolutely make it into the new Microsoft 💀 (looking at you satya)
Apple doesn’t have a problem, Apple Track has problem because he is desperate for clicks bait content because he has to pay for that cyber truck. Dude apple used to basically do chip upgrades every other year and camera upgrades every other year. The iPhones in 2024 are amazing.
Apple is not the same company anymore and I’m a big Apple fun boy unfortunately android phones are doing way more and better also I used the pixel and it’s amazing so with its AI
"The iPhones in 2024 are amazing." - I'd even say they're best ever. Whatever specs you look at on paper, you just don't get it unless you own one and dive into learning everything it can do. All the "little" ugprades come together to make an ARMY.
Vision Pro could’ve been a computer replacement in small spaces plus more if it had a computer grade chip like the m4 pro as well Mac OS on there without a Mac
Give Apple a break! The AVP is still very young. It needs a killer application to take it to the next level. The Apple II was once seen as an expensive toy until VisiCalc made it one of the most successful products in history. Many critics forget the AVP has a built-in computer and the equivalent of 8 4K screens.
Starting to hate apple, really they’re regressing similar to automotive industry. Terrible and so behind due to their controlling built in technology that’s stunting their advancement. They’re not transparent with whom they dance.
MacBook Pro M4 14 inch. Enough said. If you want a good phone throw this iphone away and go get a Galaxy S24. Don't say "that apple has ever released". You're too young to remember the Apple camera or the CUBE. Or remember what it was like to go from iOS 4-5-6 and then experience iOS 7.
With everything so good with the technology we have with these products.They’re doing us a favor, We don’t have to purchase them as often and we’re saving more money. It’s a win for us.

The big issue with tech is the yearly update cycle. My ipad pro is 4 years old and still works perfect. Absolutely no need for a new one. Same with my 2021 MacBook pro. I upgrade my phones every 2 years because of the type of plan that I have but my IP14pro is just as reliable as my wife's IP16pro.
Iono about this, Apple still here honestly lol. Nothing this dude said on his video makes sense, guess I’m too deep in the Apple sheep world to understand how bad the iPhone is lol. But not really since I have an android as my second phone. I still use my iPhone way more.
They are so stale now! I love the products but I feel like they only want to do minimal updates, nickel and dime everyone to death, and make everything a subscription. The so called updates have been terrible this year, for both software and the hardware. Buggy software and the AirPods Max are my terrible highlights.
Hard disagree, I love using my 16 pro max and I didnt expect myself to really enjoy using Apple Intelligence, even though these “tech youtubers” falsely saying these products are lame.
Interesting to see a different view from my own. I can't even keep up with studying how to use every feature in the updates, they come so fast. I'm the kinda girl who reads the manual and tries to get the most out of it. And I can tell you this. The last few years have been a whizbang speeding freight train. Maybe they're all out of things for normie users to do because they won't even learn more than their 5 fave things to do on it anyway. But for someone who squeezes every last drop of juice from the device, I'm getting to where I can't do it anymore. The feature upgrades are coming out faster than I can learn to use them!
My iPhone 16 Pro on iOS 16.2 is buggy as hell. I'll lose touch capability for up to 30 seconds at a time then the phone just restarts. It's extremely annoying. For the first time in a decade I'm considering an Android.
Nail on the head. Your usage of the word “lazy” is spot on. I finally had to stop buying the new products, they just aren’t worth it and it’s clear Apple is not trying. For those old enough, the Apple of the early 2000s was just incredible. Everything just worked, and not only that - Apple was able to SEPARATE themselves from their competitors dramatically (the primary one being the PC, but also MP3 players etc). Apple was such an alternative to “mundane” PCs and marketed themselves that way, as being for creatives and performers. In 2024, Apple can’t separate itself. The competition is incredibly strong and DEFINITELY more innovative. Apple’s become the kind of company I think Steve Jobs would make fun of back in the day (RIP). I say this as someone who owns a ridiculous number of Apple products. I’m so entrenched in their ecosystem I have zero interest in resetting all of that up on other platforms. And I think Apple knows this, and relies on it way too much.
Apple from the 2000’s didn’t “just work”. I dare you to try macOS puma or cheetah. Not to mention the Titanium PowerBook G4 and multiple GPU issues with iMac’s and iBook’s. They were sluggish and awful. Mid to late 2000’s is where they were polished all around. Far from polished in the early naughts.
@@megatronskneecap sorry I should’ve been more specific but my comment was already too long lol. I can only speak for my experience learning music production, but I was blown away at how intuitive the OS was and how I could connect everything to my keyboards, MPCs, mics etc. At that time, windows was often known for its “blue screen of death” and nothing was simple. Macs (to me, at that time) felt “simple” in a good way. That’s what I mean by the “just worked”. But I take your point. Nowadays my M series products don’t even even start up fast or load music efficiently like back in the day. My AVP sucks at even syncing its photos with my other devices. To me, Apple products have a lot of power but they’ve become more clunky and less streamlined. Just my opinion.
Yeah. That's why everything competing with the new Mac Mini is total trash in measuring up. Costs more, performs worse. Uses an insecure OS made stuck together with duct-tape and bubblegum. Strong competition indeed.
Just received this video recommendation as i am looking to change to S24 from the 15Pro. The new updates have made the phone enormously buggy and unbearable at times. Agree with the video
Apple intelligence and particularly Clean up heating up iPhone 16 pro after 2 mins of use is so weird for a phone built from the ground up for that. Besides the fact that it’s very hit or miss, and it crashes the photos App without saving your edits. Same for image playground. But worse experience of all is AirPods Pro 2 disconnecting and connecting abruptly minute in minute out. This happens every now and then and goes away for a while after resetting them. I’m the biggest Apple fan I personally know and I’m very frustrated with Apple.
So before the 16 series launched I had 2 15pro that I loved an black and natural titanium and I brought the 16 pro just for the desert colour and ai only to realise that my 15 pro somehow was better idk man I feel like this year iPhone isn't giving me the feel and now having both 15 and 16 pro I feel the most useless things is the camera button which is just useless and honestly i want to shift to using the Samsung s24-25 ultra the only thing stopping me is the ecosystem
I’m no techie, but I disagree. What made Apple and so many other companies great wasn’t that they gave the masses what they wanted, they gave them what they needed. Henry Ford said it best, when talking about his cars. Before he made one, if you asked the average person how to make travel better, they described a more efficient horse. Not a car. Apple used to have that. They’ve become such a massive company they have no choice but to listen to their consumers, what they want, and rightfully so. But it is a double edged sword. Could our want for the perfect iPhone or product X be the deterrent of “the next big thing?” I don’t have the answer to this “question” and no one does. Just a thought. Thanks for making tech news consumable for those of us who passively enjoy Apple.
Henry Ford never said this quote. The earliest linkage known between the saying and Henry Ford appeared in “The Cruise Industry News Quarterly” in 1999. John McNeece, a cruise ship designer, speculated about the desires of Henry Ford’s potential customers. John McNeece: “There is a problem trying to figure out what people want by canvassing them. I mean, if Henry Ford canvassed people on whether or not he should build a motor car, they’d probably tell him what they really wanted was a faster horse. Interestingly, the words above were not credited directly to Ford. The earliest ascription to Ford appeared in a letter sent to the UK publication Marketing Week in 2001: „Being market-led implies being led by the consumer - and consumers are bad at coming up with innovations (Henry Ford’s quote: “If I had asked my customers what they wanted they would have said a faster horse” springs to mind…)“ Yet Henry Ford died in 1947, so the evidence connecting him to the quotation appears to be very weak.
"Masses" can get what they need from multiple different companies, it is not like Apple was the only manufacturer of computers, phones, smartwatches or speakers. If people chose Apple instead of other brands is for different reasons.
It's been the end for years. Tim Cook took over with a number of things in the pipeline. Now, that pipeline has run dry. Even Jony Ive seen it coming... I'm still disappointed that he neutered a person's pension after decades of work over an ambiguous farewell email to staff. And I'm disappointed with Tim Cook firing top exec over a little crude fun on a TikTok viral video that he was approached to do. Tony Blevins was his name. He was the best and saving the company money and like that without warning fired him. It was a big deal and the moment I lost faith in Apple.
I’ve been an Android user for ages, but I decided to give the iPhone a try. My first Apple product was the iPhone 11, along with the first-gen AirPods Pro and the Apple Watch Series 5. Honestly, Android had more features with software and hardware, but I have to admit, Apple has something special. Their ecosystem is unbeatable, and they just have what people really need and use. It’s like they know exactly what we want. And let’s be real, companies now are struggling to innovate. Most of them are stuck in a rut, not just in the smartphone market, but everywhere.
I recently visited friend with whole Samsung ecosystem, similar to my Apple ecosystem. Tablet, phone, laptop... but he doesn't have desktop cuz I guess they don't make those. Over and over I was like "how do you do X in this ecosystem" and he'd be like, showing some primitive backwards way. The stuff you actually need to use isn't as good, but he was all fanboyed out over having Dex, and I'm like thinking, OK so your phone can act like a really crappy chomebook laptop but you don't really use it because you got a laptop anyway... why doesn't my cursor just slide off the screen right into the tablet, how do I share the song I'm listening to right to it so when I walk out of the room the song follows me?
Every company has problems and does annoying things but the problems you mentioned I dont think its big deal and feels like your nitpicking. The company doesnt lack vision and doing just fine.
A better question is, who has even come close to what they have so far? On the desktop, no one. On the laptop, maybe those ARM-based Surface, but their launch is all whacked out and not taking off so well. On the phone, the Samsung S24U/S25U is a worthy competitor except the business model of the OS is to sell your identity down the river.
@@joeking22 OS RAM bloat is objective. Geekbench single and multi-core are objective. CPU performance per watt?--It's objective. ARM-based Windows sales figures are objective. The Google/Android business model of profiling user identity and selling it for ads, is also objective fact. I expected you to be right and looked for something subjective I said, but it turns out it's all 100% objective. Fancy that. Seems you need an epistemological primer on the meaning of the two terms.

What do you guys advise me to do?
This is one of your most nuanced and well crafted videos. Metaphorically, it was a nice dine in meal compared to the normal fast food videos you’ve made previously. I can tell you’re growing as a content creator. Nice work.
Outside of a foldable phone what exactly can be done that we would call innovation??? I just wish apple would polish its software and make it better than the competition. How is it we still can’t write on a pasted note!
It’s not the first time in Apple’s history that they couldn’t come up with game changing products. The 90’s, the last time Steve wasn’t there. I would say they couldn’t come up with much without him. They are way too big now for an innovation first CEO. There’s too much pressure from the shareholders. They need to fail again, get desperate, then with a little bit of luck find another Innovator that has the balls to stand up to the investors.
oque falta para Apple e bateria em seus aparelhos, e inovações melhores, e simples so que ela não quer ser simples, ela se acostumou a fazer coisas grandes e isso e um grande problema
I suppose if you expect a mobile phone to keep doing amazing new things year after year after year then I suppose it will become boring and stagnant. What is it that you have to have your phone do that it doesn’t at the moment?
I agree ios 18 is the buggiest update ever, I recently got iPhone 16 plus and series 10 Apple Watch and trust me there are so many bugs for ex. My Apple Watch wakes me up at 3 am and tell me that I have been sitting for too long time to stand. I was so pissed off reading it, I felt like throwing it against the wall but then I remembered the money I spent. 😕
I think on a lot of points you are right however, I also think that this is a tech-industry problem and not an Apple one. I think we as people, nearly hit the pinnacle of "life-changing" products, that do not feel gimmicky to the average joe. For example, for those who are into CES, there are A LOT of awesome tech created everyday, very useful but it's not taking off. For the few variables either feeling gimmicky to people, or it's just not a dramatic shift for people. Smart-glasses are starting to be the next "hot-item" but I think that will only go so until there's a huge cultural shift... that can go for any tech product.
One of their problems the can fix is the price jumps between their device capacity increases. Like the 256gb is 1200 then the 1tb is 1600. That’s an unnecessary price hike. 1tb of storage is only a $100 difference max depending one where you buy the storage card. Not $400. That’s insane
My iphone 13 pro seems more stable than the last couple of iphones. 14-16 seem like they all have issues with cameras vibrating like mad and/or overheating and other glitches like you describe here. My 13 has been so stable over the years, but people with newer iphones are always complaining more. I'm thinking of going to a pixel with graphene os when my 13pro stops being supported at this point rather than another iphone if Apple keeps it's current trajectory
13 was a great year. 16 is also, though I will caution everyone that early revs of iOS 18 have so much new functions stuffed inside that it's not quite as stable as the rock solid 17.6. But it'll get there. My recommendation for any owner is to upgrade every 4 years, plus or minus. 13 Pro owners should definitely wait it out for 17 Pro, in my opinion.
Honestly I love iPhone now. I use to hate iPhone and be a strictly android guy Samsung to be exact I have an s24. But I got iPhone 15 and iOS 18 with RCS and all the customization options they finally decided to add and the fluidity of the software. I honestly find it hard to even pick up my Samsung, my number is mainly on my iPhone and the times I do try and use my s24 I end up going right back. I really do feel like with iOS 18 there software is finally for the most part better then what it use to be. Before I wouldn’t dare touch Apple. I feel as if my Samsung no longer has that appeal with software customization and screen. Like yeah it’s cool but iPhone just does it smoother. Only thing I feel Apple needs is back gesture.
Everything is fine. What’s happening with Apple is a symptom of what’s happening in the market - their stocks are doing great. The worst thing (stock-market-wise)a top publicly traded company can do now is to do nothing; so companies playing “the game” just make (a) change(s) for the sake of change
100% agree - my iPhone had enough bugs that it felt like how people used to talk about cheap Androids 10 years ago. iOS18 made it crash all the time, and Apple apps would freeze up the phone (even features like the built in translate), so I downloaded alternatives that actually work. I shifted to a budget Motorola and now have a phone that "just works" again. Also bought an iPad Mini 7 thinking I'll have at least one Apple device, but man in comparison to a Galaxy Tab it sucks - I returned it.
The reason the iPhone has been pretty much the same thing every year recently is because there isn’t much more you can do to make it better or more practical yet. There will have to be a new technological breakthrough to see rapid development in Apple’s products again. This has been the case for all technology throughout history.
One thing I am noticing after recent updates is the screen brightness is setting much lower then it used to. I now have to hold my phne under a light to get the brightness to increase to a viwable level from being in my pocket. I've only noticed this startig in December.
One of the reasons the vision pro didn’t have the same impact as the first iphone is because the size of the market these products tried to disrupt. The cellphone/smartphone market was already a big and mature market, while the VR one is still a niche with not much use in the everyday life of people.
Same old shit every year. I had used iphone from 2012 and iphone 13 mini is last and I decidet change to samsung galaxy s24 ultra, because 14-16 iphone have nothing new. I have ipad mini, ipad pro, macbook air m2, airpods max, homepod mini and apple watch ultra, but I dont use them anymore, because software is updated to slow and batterys are very poor too. Bye bye apple
wait, the ios 18 lag isn't just because i use an old iphone xr? God that thing became dog slow after the update, i thought apple was just bricking it intentionally to get me to buy a new one.
@@adenlee0226 Fair enough. When people ask me what phone I suggest for them, the first thing I ask them is, what are they going to do on it and what is their budget. I have been using both Android and iPhone together for quite some time and I would take Android anyday but it will be different for different people.
It’s because they are so focused on maximizing profits for their shareholders now that either the talented people are leaving the company or are being “fired” for absolutely anything just so they can save a few $’s. It’s making every part of the experience worse as the highly talented people are driven away, leaving only subpar workers they can pay less. They have also started playing it safe with all their decisions except the Vision Pro which was an over-engineered nightmare failure for them. They have become the IBM they once fought against.
I think the Apple Watch situation is the worst part of this drop in quality. It would be so easy to just pay Masimo to use their patents in their watch, but they’d rather try and cut corners and take a risk in court. This is ridiculous.
And they are charging astronomical prices for their products. I love apple products, but I can no longer afford to buy them. And iOS 18 is an absolute disaster. My iPad just freezes for up to a minute.

Ha! 😂
This comment made me smile. ❤
Tim Apple is so lazy. 🙄
He need to go as does Craig, they are done.
Iam an Apple fanboy, but the truth is that Apple has shifted to playing it safe, abandoning the innovation that once defined the company. Staying at the top requires taking risks, a quality this generation of Apple leadership seems unwilling to embrace. It’s disappointing from a brand that once revolutionized the industry.
M-series chips wasn't a risk? First USB-C only desktops and laptops wasn't a risk? Integration straight into ChatGPT wasn't a risk? Setting off on Private Cloud Compute isn't a bold journey? Perhaps we've all just become so used to the revolutionary playbook that we fail to be shocked and awed by it. But it doesn't mean it's not there.
@@Äpple-pie-5k Well said. It feels like people expect a revolutionary leap like that from Intel chips to the M1 every year

If apple was still like that the iPhone would have gone all screen along time ago, silly things like sticking to lightning for 10 years would never happen.

@@elytthat’s because they are talking to their main target audience and that’s the consumer who needs to be talked to like that because they are not tech nerd. Many people criticize Apple for the way they do things but they forget that the vast majority of people who buy Apple aren’t tech nerds, they won’t be able to tell the difference between 60hz screen and one that is 120. They don’t need some ultra zoom camera or even AI. These type of people just want something that works, that’s supper simple and that can add more value to someone’s productivity work via an eco system that not only works but that works super well and that is leagues ahead of anything any Android can offer. That’s the Apple core audience, none tech nerds.

Apple has lost their way to innovate. They’re too worried about MONEY instead of innovating and really changing things for the consumer/the world. Look how they missed the boat on AI. If they weren’t so focused on a bunch of different products to just throw out there to take in the money. They wouldn’t have missed the whole AI scene. We miss Steve Jobs.
“M” Series Chips were/are a breakthrough when they came out. Not always we will get a new physical gadget from Apple just to simply demonstrate Apple’s greatness, sometimes breakthroughs are on the details.
In all fairness they weren't really a breakthrough were they they're based on ARM lithography and that's British, I don't know why everyone's giving Apple the credit for these chips when they're actually based on British designs
@Mr__Anon-E-Mouse They are based on ARM ref architecture, but way more than just ARM's basic designs.
I agree. For example I upgraded from iPhone 11 Pro Max to 16 Pro Max and --Apple Intelligence aside-- they're basically still the same phone. YET for some reason a plethora of tiny updates has come together to make it a significant upgrade. I'm not saying Apple couldn't do even better--I'd like to see more stability, efficiency, optimization, bug fixes, and evolving the UI to the reality of it being 6.9" where your thumb can't reach the top to swipe. But all my newer Apple devices are definitively BETTER than the older Apple products I loved, so claiming they're going down the tubes is a bit exaggerated. But yeah we need a little flurry of optimization, efficiency, debugging, and refining what's been done so far.
@Mr__Anon-E-Mouse Bro drop the blind Apple hate and appreciate tech leaps when you see them.
They brought in insane power management and unified memory, they literally spoiled every other laptop for me and I wish there was a Linux alternative but there isn't, they shit on absolutely everything at a fraction of the power.
Besides, ARM was a joint venture from Acorn, Apple and another company, so what now?
What details have the come out with since the M1? The apple right now isn’t what it used to be. Their quality and attention to detail surely has taken a fall.

Just because he buys products to evaluate doesn't mean he is a cheerleader. It's his literal job to evaluate.
Couldn't agree more. I was so disappointed by Apple Intelligence. It's simply not good. I can't use it to improve my writing. It ruins the context of the entire message almost every time. It's basically like having someone with a thesaurus to swap simple words for bigger words all while not appearing to have any idea what the intended meaning behind the message is supposed to be.
The guy that Apple bought Siri from was an AI expert that wanted to bring AI to Sire. Apple drove him out in little over a year and we were left with a broken Siri for a decade. Just think had they had vision and listened to him about AI and Siri.
I agree. There is a way to 'teach' AI to write better and more naturally, by starting with a prompt, something like: You are a writing assistant. Vary the sentence length, follow the Elements of Style, and write in the style of [Your favorite Author, but not Hemingway or Faulkner]. Write for a 7th grade audience using simple words with impact. .... If you search through some of the earlier RUclips videos for 'writing like a person', you may find specific prompt suggestions that will generate reasonable prose.
This is the first year I didn't upgrade to the newest iPhone, I am still using the iPhone 15 Pro Max, nothing is exciting anymore.
Bro, same! First year in a long time I didn't update. Seemed literally pointless.

The problem is these companies don’t reinvest enough time or money into their products or services. The money is just held there for investors to cash out when they’re ready to, the problem is everywhere.
Thank you for pointing out that this isn’t just an Apple problem. The only person here with common sense.
with a .4% annual dividend yield, I wouldn’t say that investors are cashing out.
Only one permanent innovation is called "make shareholders happy".
My iPhone 16 feels gimmicky, the camera button is a joke 😂
The button itself isn't a joke. It is actually a very good input for the camera albiet in the wrong position. It is however a bad justification to justify an upgrade from an older iphone to the 16 line. Anyone with a working iPhone is better off staying where they are.
1% of people will use it. I am the only person I know who take pictures horizontally!
“Why isn’t apple making new things for the sake of making new things”
This is the mindset behind enshittification and software bloat, no thanks. Apple needs to fix the shit that’s broken FIRST.
I been android users for 7 years in 2021 I did switch from LG 8 phone to iPhone 13 Pro Max and get Apple Watch SE first generation and AirPods Pro I’m enjoying it so much I will not go back to android
iPhone 13 Pro Max was great. The new 16 Pro Max, the camera and Lidar are badly engineered. Trading in was a major waste of money. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra would be a lot better if not for the malware and security breaches almost nonexistent on iOS.
I just bought the refurbished by Apple beautiful Sierra Blue 13 Pro Max 1TB because the upgrades since then don’t tempt me and unlike most I love the lightning port and I have dozens of cables for it and I don’t transfer data.
Thats Great! It is worth your money, and all the features you are getting! Atleast your not getting lied to by android about their "Camera" features and quality because they just use AI to make it look better. I hope your enjoying your iPhone!!!
Sure you did 😎
So you like buying the same phone over and over with the same design lol. Android is better than apple.
The Apple Vision Pro and Apple Intelligence are flops.
biggest red flags, the reason why i wasnt interested in the guinea pig iphone 16 pro and those goggles are so so outdated over priced and looks fkn stupid. they should just focus on "mobile(cell)phones" like a flip and a fold phone. samsung is already at it's 6TH! gen.

@@hahja40 💯 fact!
@@hahja40i hear this comment every year! 😂
Yep, just read this the other day
I am the furthest thing from an Apple apologist, BUT sometimes I feel like people look at past Apple with rose-colored glasses. The first iPhone was met with some skepticism and criticism for lacking features (like MMS), the lack of a tactile keyboard, and let’s not forget there was no App Store that came later. Then there was antennagate with iPhone 4, and bendgate with iPhone 6.
I think part of the problem now is that it is hard to refine on product categories that many companies (including Apple) have refined to a razor’s edge. And consumers expect to be wowed with the “next big thing.”
This is 100% spot on. Cannot be fixed? Yes, just not by Tim Cook. Tim Cook is great at making money but he’s not a product guy. Apple needs the next Steve Jobs and/or Jonny Ive and they don’t have that. They have no taste makers. No one with heart. No one with style. No one with vision. I could run product development a lot better than Tim Apple.
I think it would take a whole lot of Jesus and Gospel for you to do anything significant in product development.
Perhaps they do have a new Jony Ive there but they don’t have a public face or leadership position like Jony did?
You are correct 💯
You are right.I am the biggest Apple fan and getting the 16 pro max was the first time I felt like Android was a step above…. iOS is too limited
Android is way ahead.
Disagree. App quality and ecosystem feels like I went back in a time machine 10 years whenever I use Galaxy 24. And don't get me started on the hair pulling and teeth gnashing you have to do to get something even half as good as Apple's automations and shortcuts. Android fanbois squeal with glee over changing icon packs while iPhone users can literally customize the way the entire phone works.

@@joeking22 No. I develop on both platforms and it's an actual educated opinion. All opinions are somewhat subjective, but educated opinions form themselves based on reaction to facts. So, joeking22, I can only logically conclude that you are NOT a master guru on both platforms, or else you'd have enough basis of comparison to not think I'm joking.
@@Äpple-pie-5k Quite the contrary. I use both on a daily basis as an end user. iPhone for work and Android for personal use. Just because you write code on both platforms doesn't necessarily make you an expert. I have used, and promptly removed shit written apps. Who's to say that you are not one of those writing them?
As far as app quality is concerned, that IS subjective as I have used the same app on one platform which behaves much better or has more features than the other and vise versa. In any case, your views as a "developer" is pointless as the article is projected from an end users perspective. Your attitude comes across as concieted.
iPad Pro and MacBooks are still cooking though
Straight to the point, I'm an Android User, all Google and Samsung Products and there is a good reason for that. Samsung and Google have everything and more, the only thing I wish Android had years ago was an iMessage and FaceTime competitor and now we do-Google Meet and Google Messages. Google Meet works for iOS Users and Google Messages RCS works with iMessage. I currently use a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and its ridiculously great, could have a larger front screen I have to admit, but when I use it out in public some poeple look at it like its a product from Mars lol. They find it cool, especially iPhone Users. I'm a tech guy and Apple has never impressed me, and honestly I never liked Samsung either, but ever since I got a Samsung Galaxy Note8 and seen was Samsung is all about with an Open Ecosystem, Innovation, some copying, and making just about everything under the sun, I just find Samsung to be more impressive as Brand with what they accomplish. When Apple finally releases a Foldable iPhone using a Samsung Display Screen and calling it revolutionary, I'll be on my Scrollable/Rollable Samsung Galaxy Phone lol.
I've thought this for 2-3 years. They've been riding on the coattails of Steve Jobs innovations it seems, but the Mac mini was a good release, especially the last upgrade.
No it's worse than M2 but faster...
People are mad that the Vision Pro released and is a gen 1 product instead of a gen 5 product. Like…no shit right? The first iPhone didn’t even have copy and paste. Give them time to cook. They already laid the foundation to build on
Did you forget about the Mac mini and iPad Pro that was released this year.

@olivercarothers5414it’s a smaller computer, nothing really groundbreaking.
@olivercarothers5414 It’s smaller, that’s not innovative it’s what should happen to a “mini” computer.
Mac mini is a great product but still "just" a mac mini, and honestly who cares about the iPad Pro anymore? It's just a big iPhone
I wish more content creators would put disclaimers like "This has been a problem for ME, and for many others..." Because to say it's been a terrible year for software and hardware from Apple for everyone is simply not true. Plus, Apple came out with bangers this year (i.e. Mac mini). I believe the iPhone 16 lineup is actually better than most people give credit, and the new Series 10, in my opinion, is the best form factor in the lineup's history, and the jet black color is SO CLEAN. This is all to say: I disagree with a lot of the video, and I wish there was more nuance to this conversation.
Controversial clickbait = lots of user-generated comment = higher recommendation algorithm = more views = $$$.

Honestly the iPhone to me is perfect it just needs a much much better battery and screen and I’m good. I just think adding a silly button for the camera was just dumb when my action button already can do that. I most social media’s can’t render the highest iPhone or camera photos, and most people can’t tell the difference so why camera updates matter idk. Battery and speed matter more and if we wait 2 years just for that I think most would be happy with just that
Fix back gesture on iphones. Make it like android. Back swipe from either edge systemwide
I agree. Someone needs to realize the UI that worked on one-handed phones doesn't work on phones 6.3" and up. Time to do your suggestion exactly like you suggested it, and about a dozen or so other things that suffer a similar situation.
The universal “back button” is probably the only thing I miss from Android sometimes.
With one-hand use,it can be very difficult to press the back button on top left to outright dangerous in case you lose grip on the device and it falls.

None of Apple's software works as it should. Each macOS update has fixed one major bug but brought a new one with it. My old M1 MacBook Air went from kernel crashing daily, to Safari crashing hourly, to it not updating, to iCloud not syncing, to the system wiping my desktop twice and finally the laptop getting bricked due to iCloud issues.

No. Still connection issues, and the left bud died less then a month after buying them. Sony support is a nightmare and I still haven't gotten them replaced/refunded. I also used to be an Android user and have looked at switching back, but the other side doesn't seem much greener, just different issues.

Apple stopped inovating ever since Steve Jobs passed away. Thats because Steve was the heart and soul of the company.
- AirPods
- M-series silicon chips
- AirTags
- Apple Watch ( technically some digital watches were out already but they fleshed out most of the designs so others could follow )
- Apple Vision Pro ( even if it was a failure )
- Literally the iPhone X ( I know it fucked up the usual 2 years that apple released a phone, and that some stuff is very similar to some stuff from the palm phones, but goddamn the iPhone X was something )
Steve Jobs was a horrible person by the way, the crunch he put onto employees makes rockstar games look like a workplace from heaven, washed his feet with toilet water, and was just generally, a jerk basically.

Days a person who watches this channel and buys Apple
You would be dead before you tried to say it that many times.
I have the iPhone 16 Pro Max. I have a hard time swapping. It sticks. The lag is horrible. Reminds me of the Amazon tablet.
They are so stale now! I love the products but I feel like they only want to do minimal updates, nickel and dime everyone to death, and make everything a subscription.
The so called updates have been terrible this year, for both software and the hardware. Buggy software and the AirPods Max are my terrible highlights.
Hard disagree, I love using my 16 pro max and I didnt expect myself to really enjoy using Apple Intelligence, even though these “tech youtubers” falsely saying these products are lame.
@@00z53 Because it is lame… You’re bloating an OS with unnecessary features that don’t benefit the user at all, that’s inherently bad UX design
Interesting to see a different view from my own. I can't even keep up with studying how to use every feature in the updates, they come so fast. I'm the kinda girl who reads the manual and tries to get the most out of it. And I can tell you this. The last few years have been a whizbang speeding freight train. Maybe they're all out of things for normie users to do because they won't even learn more than their 5 fave things to do on it anyway. But for someone who squeezes every last drop of juice from the device, I'm getting to where I can't do it anymore. The feature upgrades are coming out faster than I can learn to use them!
My iPhone 16 Pro on iOS 16.2 is buggy as hell. I'll lose touch capability for up to 30 seconds at a time then the phone just restarts. It's extremely annoying. For the first time in a decade I'm considering an Android.
Nail on the head. Your usage of the word “lazy” is spot on. I finally had to stop buying the new products, they just aren’t worth it and it’s clear Apple is not trying. For those old enough, the Apple of the early 2000s was just incredible. Everything just worked, and not only that - Apple was able to SEPARATE themselves from their competitors dramatically (the primary one being the PC, but also MP3 players etc). Apple was such an alternative to “mundane” PCs and marketed themselves that way, as being for creatives and performers. In 2024, Apple can’t separate itself. The competition is incredibly strong and DEFINITELY more innovative. Apple’s become the kind of company I think Steve Jobs would make fun of back in the day (RIP). I say this as someone who owns a ridiculous number of Apple products. I’m so entrenched in their ecosystem I have zero interest in resetting all of that up on other platforms.
And I think Apple knows this, and relies on it way too much.
Apple from the 2000’s didn’t “just work”. I dare you to try macOS puma or cheetah. Not to mention the Titanium PowerBook G4 and multiple GPU issues with iMac’s and iBook’s. They were sluggish and awful. Mid to late 2000’s is where they were polished all around. Far from polished in the early naughts.
@@megatronskneecap sorry I should’ve been more specific but my comment was already too long lol. I can only speak for my experience learning music production, but I was blown away at how intuitive the OS was and how I could connect everything to my keyboards, MPCs, mics etc. At that time, windows was often known for its “blue screen of death” and nothing was simple. Macs (to me, at that time) felt “simple” in a good way. That’s what I mean by the “just worked”.
But I take your point.
Nowadays my M series products don’t even even start up fast or load music efficiently like back in the day. My AVP sucks at even syncing its photos with my other devices. To me, Apple products have a lot of power but they’ve become more clunky and less streamlined. Just my opinion.
@@NitinRamlall I agree, that’s why I said mid 2000’s. Nothing beats an iPhone 2G, a 2007 MacBook Pro on Leopard with an iPod classic as an ecosystem.
Yeah. That's why everything competing with the new Mac Mini is total trash in measuring up. Costs more, performs worse. Uses an insecure OS made stuck together with duct-tape and bubblegum. Strong competition indeed.
Just received this video recommendation as i am looking to change to S24 from the 15Pro. The new updates have made the phone enormously buggy and unbearable at times. Agree with the video
Apple intelligence and particularly Clean up heating up iPhone 16 pro after 2 mins of use is so weird for a phone built from the ground up for that. Besides the fact that it’s very hit or miss, and it crashes the photos App without saving your edits. Same for image playground. But worse experience of all is AirPods Pro 2 disconnecting and connecting abruptly minute in minute out. This happens every now and then and goes away for a while after resetting them. I’m the biggest Apple fan I personally know and I’m very frustrated with Apple.
I haven't had that problem. Maybe you didn't check your iOS version is most recent.
@@Äpple-pie-5kI’m pretty sure every person watching this video is on the latest software available.
Never had that problem with Gemini on my pixel 9 pro fold.
@@arpsichord7474 Gemini is not on device. At this stage, neither should Clean up nor image playground.
@BADIHSALMAN It's on my pixel 9 pro fold. I just say "Hey Google" and it pops up.
So before the 16 series launched I had 2 15pro that I loved an black and natural titanium and I brought the 16 pro just for the desert colour and ai only to realise that my 15 pro somehow was better idk man I feel like this year iPhone isn't giving me the feel and now having both 15 and 16 pro I feel the most useless things is the camera button which is just useless and honestly i want to shift to using the Samsung s24-25 ultra the only thing stopping me is the ecosystem
I’m no techie, but I disagree. What made Apple and so many other companies great wasn’t that they gave the masses what they wanted, they gave them what they needed. Henry Ford said it best, when talking about his cars. Before he made one, if you asked the average person how to make travel better, they described a more efficient horse. Not a car. Apple used to have that. They’ve become such a massive company they have no choice but to listen to their consumers, what they want, and rightfully so. But it is a double edged sword. Could our want for the perfect iPhone or product X be the deterrent of “the next big thing?”
I don’t have the answer to this “question” and no one does. Just a thought. Thanks for making tech news consumable for those of us who passively enjoy Apple.
Henry Ford never said this quote.
The earliest linkage known between the saying and Henry Ford appeared in “The Cruise Industry News Quarterly” in 1999.
John McNeece, a cruise ship designer, speculated about the desires of Henry Ford’s potential customers.
John McNeece: “There is a problem trying to figure out what people want by canvassing them. I mean, if Henry Ford canvassed people on whether or not he should build a motor car, they’d probably tell him what they really wanted was a faster horse.
Interestingly, the words above were not credited directly to Ford. The earliest ascription to Ford appeared in a letter sent to the UK publication Marketing Week in 2001:
„Being market-led implies being led by the consumer - and consumers are bad at coming up with innovations (Henry Ford’s quote: “If I had asked my customers what they wanted they would have said a faster horse” springs to mind…)“
Yet Henry Ford died in 1947, so the evidence connecting him to the quotation appears to be very weak.
"Masses" can get what they need from multiple different companies, it is not like Apple was the only manufacturer of computers, phones, smartwatches or speakers. If people chose Apple instead of other brands is for different reasons.

It's been the end for years.
Tim Cook took over with a number of things in the pipeline.
Now, that pipeline has run dry. Even Jony Ive seen it coming...
I'm still disappointed that he neutered a person's pension after decades of work over an ambiguous farewell email to staff.
And I'm disappointed with Tim Cook firing top exec over a little crude fun on a TikTok viral video that he was approached to do.
Tony Blevins was his name.
He was the best and saving the company money and like that without warning fired him.
It was a big deal and the moment I lost faith in Apple.
I’ve been an Android user for ages, but I decided to give the iPhone a try. My first Apple product was the iPhone 11, along with the first-gen AirPods Pro and the Apple Watch Series 5. Honestly, Android had more features with software and hardware, but I have to admit, Apple has something special. Their ecosystem is unbeatable, and they just have what people really need and use. It’s like they know exactly what we want. And let’s be real, companies now are struggling to innovate. Most of them are stuck in a rut, not just in the smartphone market, but everywhere.
I find Samsung ecosystem better.
I recently visited friend with whole Samsung ecosystem, similar to my Apple ecosystem. Tablet, phone, laptop... but he doesn't have desktop cuz I guess they don't make those.
Over and over I was like "how do you do X in this ecosystem" and he'd be like, showing some primitive backwards way. The stuff you actually need to use isn't as good, but he was all fanboyed out over having Dex, and I'm like thinking, OK so your phone can act like a really crappy chomebook laptop but you don't really use it because you got a laptop anyway... why doesn't my cursor just slide off the screen right into the tablet, how do I share the song I'm listening to right to it so when I walk out of the room the song follows me?
@@ljacobs357
only thing keeping me from going to Samsung ecosystem is their laptops still running windows …
Windows for me so too messy than Mac OS
It’s Apple and many companies on top they get to comfortable
Every company has problems and does annoying things but the problems you mentioned I dont think its big deal and feels like your nitpicking. The company doesnt lack vision and doing just fine.
If you say so Tim
A better question is, who has even come close to what they have so far? On the desktop, no one. On the laptop, maybe those ARM-based Surface, but their launch is all whacked out and not taking off so well. On the phone, the Samsung S24U/S25U is a worthy competitor except the business model of the OS is to sell your identity down the river.
@@Äpple-pie-5k Everything thing you have mentioned is subjective.
@@joeking22 OS RAM bloat is objective. Geekbench single and multi-core are objective. CPU performance per watt?--It's objective. ARM-based Windows sales figures are objective. The Google/Android business model of profiling user identity and selling it for ads, is also objective fact.
I expected you to be right and looked for something subjective I said, but it turns out it's all 100% objective. Fancy that. Seems you need an epistemological primer on the meaning of the two terms.
@@Äpple-pie-5k Literally anything can beat apples desktop lmao. Every android is now of equal competitor to the lineup of apple phones. Plus no folds from apple.
I am a big apple fan, and I use an iPad a Mac and airpods, but my phone is a Galaxy s23 ultra for the last almost 2 years. I used to carry an iPhone 12 pro before getting the Samsung, and now I am tempted to get the iPhone 16 pro max, and because everybody is saying that this phone is really bad, I don't know what to do. What do you guys advise me to do?
Think with your brain.

Apple was Steve Jobs. He was a visionary, and he also understood what would be worth pursuing.

Who could have money for apple robot? Probably would cost more than the house in which it should help.
Outside of a foldable phone what exactly can be done that we would call innovation??? I just wish apple would polish its software and make it better than the competition. How is it we still can’t write on a pasted note!
60 Hz on $1000 phone is a joke
Is a folding phone innovation? Other brands have been making folding phones for years.
and they're all spectacular failures...
The innovation was STEVE'S JOB😅
It’s not the first time in Apple’s history that they couldn’t come up with game changing products. The 90’s, the last time Steve wasn’t there. I would say they couldn’t come up with much without him. They are way too big now for an innovation first CEO. There’s too much pressure from the shareholders. They need to fail again, get desperate, then with a little bit of luck find another Innovator that has the balls to stand up to the investors.
Feels wrong to be here this early😳

The iPhone in my opinion has become very boring and stagnant. And this is coming from a 16 Pro user😂
I suppose if you expect a mobile phone to keep doing amazing new things year after year after year then I suppose it will become boring and stagnant. What is it that you have to have your phone do that it doesn’t at the moment?
I agree ios 18 is the buggiest update ever, I recently got iPhone 16 plus and series 10 Apple Watch and trust me there are so many bugs for ex. My Apple Watch wakes me up at 3 am and tell me that I have been sitting for too long time to stand. I was so pissed off reading it, I felt like throwing it against the wall but then I remembered the money I spent. 😕
That made me laugh that you wanted to throw it!!! I can relate to the frustration!
I missed Steve Jobs, he’s the true APPLE CEO who brings the true update for 🍎
The redesigned MacBooks have hinge problems, particularly when closing the lid. They no longer feel like premium products.

I think on a lot of points you are right however, I also think that this is a tech-industry problem and not an Apple one. I think we as people, nearly hit the pinnacle of "life-changing" products, that do not feel gimmicky to the average joe. For example, for those who are into CES, there are A LOT of awesome tech created everyday, very useful but it's not taking off. For the few variables either feeling gimmicky to people, or it's just not a dramatic shift for people.
Smart-glasses are starting to be the next "hot-item" but I think that will only go so until there's a huge cultural shift... that can go for any tech product.
Happy New Year's
One of their problems the can fix is the price jumps between their device capacity increases. Like the 256gb is 1200 then the 1tb is 1600. That’s an unnecessary price hike. 1tb of storage is only a $100 difference max depending one where you buy the storage card. Not $400. That’s insane
Ones you get woke, you get broke
Define woke.
At last some is not licking the 3:09 products just because a bit of criticism they put on a video…
Since Steve Jobs Pass Away, Apple Hasn’t Been The Same…💔😢🖤
My iphone 13 pro seems more stable than the last couple of iphones. 14-16 seem like they all have issues with cameras vibrating like mad and/or overheating and other glitches like you describe here. My 13 has been so stable over the years, but people with newer iphones are always complaining more. I'm thinking of going to a pixel with graphene os when my 13pro stops being supported at this point rather than another iphone if Apple keeps it's current trajectory
13 was a great year. 16 is also, though I will caution everyone that early revs of iOS 18 have so much new functions stuffed inside that it's not quite as stable as the rock solid 17.6. But it'll get there. My recommendation for any owner is to upgrade every 4 years, plus or minus. 13 Pro owners should definitely wait it out for 17 Pro, in my opinion.
Honestly I love iPhone now. I use to hate iPhone and be a strictly android guy Samsung to be exact I have an s24. But I got iPhone 15 and iOS 18 with RCS and all the customization options they finally decided to add and the fluidity of the software. I honestly find it hard to even pick up my Samsung, my number is mainly on my iPhone and the times I do try and use my s24 I end up going right back. I really do feel like with iOS 18 there software is finally for the most part better then what it use to be. Before I wouldn’t dare touch Apple. I feel as if my Samsung no longer has that appeal with software customization and screen. Like yeah it’s cool but iPhone just does it smoother. Only thing I feel Apple needs is back gesture.
Everything is fine. What’s happening with Apple is a symptom of what’s happening in the market - their stocks are doing great. The worst thing (stock-market-wise)a top publicly traded company can do now is to do nothing; so companies playing “the game” just make (a) change(s) for the sake of change
100% agree - my iPhone had enough bugs that it felt like how people used to talk about cheap Androids 10 years ago. iOS18 made it crash all the time, and Apple apps would freeze up the phone (even features like the built in translate), so I downloaded alternatives that actually work. I shifted to a budget Motorola and now have a phone that "just works" again. Also bought an iPad Mini 7 thinking I'll have at least one Apple device, but man in comparison to a Galaxy Tab it sucks - I returned it.
The reason the iPhone has been pretty much the same thing every year recently is because there isn’t much more you can do to make it better or more practical yet. There will have to be a new technological breakthrough to see rapid development in Apple’s products again. This has been the case for all technology throughout history.
One thing I am noticing after recent updates is the screen brightness is setting much lower then it used to. I now have to hold my phne under a light to get the brightness to increase to a viwable level from being in my pocket. I've only noticed this startig in December.
One of the reasons the vision pro didn’t have the same impact as the first iphone is because the size of the market these products tried to disrupt.
The cellphone/smartphone market was already a big and mature market, while the VR one is still a niche with not much use in the everyday life of people.
Same old shit every year. I had used iphone from 2012 and iphone 13 mini is last and I decidet change to samsung galaxy s24 ultra, because 14-16 iphone have nothing new. I have ipad mini, ipad pro, macbook air m2, airpods max, homepod mini and apple watch ultra, but I dont use them anymore, because software is updated to slow and batterys are very poor too. Bye bye apple
wait, the ios 18 lag isn't just because i use an old iphone xr? God that thing became dog slow after the update, i thought apple was just bricking it intentionally to get me to buy a new one.
I love Apple and it's not like I'm changing to any comparators, it's just that I don't find any reasons to change the device yearly
Maybe you should try?
The grass just might be greener after all.
@@joeking22 I tried different devices but still Apple ecosystem works better for me
@@adenlee0226 Fair enough. When people ask me what phone I suggest for them, the first thing I ask them is, what are they going to do on it and what is their budget. I have been using both Android and iPhone together for quite some time and I would take Android anyday but it will be different for different people.
perhaps Scott Forstall will return to the company and save it with stage-show inspired designs and services
It’s because they are so focused on maximizing profits for their shareholders now that either the talented people are leaving the company or are being “fired” for absolutely anything just so they can save a few $’s. It’s making every part of the experience worse as the highly talented people are driven away, leaving only subpar workers they can pay less. They have also started playing it safe with all their decisions except the Vision Pro which was an over-engineered nightmare failure for them. They have become the IBM they once fought against.
Just curious why would apple lower the price of the airpod max?
Hey at least 8 gig of ram has finally disappeared
I think the Apple Watch situation is the worst part of this drop in quality. It would be so easy to just pay Masimo to use their patents in their watch, but they’d rather try and cut corners and take a risk in court. This is ridiculous.
YEEEESSSS YOU USED BALLERINA BY JEHEZKEL RAZ IN A YT VIDEO WOOOOOO (09:00) (this song is heavily underrated imo)
And they are charging astronomical prices for their products. I love apple products, but I can no longer afford to buy them. And iOS 18 is an absolute disaster. My iPad just freezes for up to a minute.
