Yep no major updates for
iWork 09
iLife 11 (and a sad goodbye iWeb & iDVD)
Logic Pro
Aperture
Final Cut Pro X update (to address everything useful they removed from the superior FCP Studio 7 such as DVDStudio Pro, Soundtrack Pro etc..)
I absolutely agree!
That way perhaps Apple will do the right thing and deliver a well tested relatively bug free phone.
Anything new is bound to have a few bugs, but Apple is the one company capable of keeping it to a minimum if they apply themselves.
haha I was waiting for a reply like that. Someone will always say that in reply to a post like that. the typical "buy android if you are not happy with apple. quit complaining"
Anyway, I just brought it up as a discussion point. I saw your post on having wider screens, you must have similar sentiments!
It's kind of hard to delay something that has 1) not even been announced yet, and 2) has no release date. I love new Apple products as much as the next guy, but all this rampant speculation gets so annoying. 
Seriously, that's all you could up with to reply to a constructive criticism of a customer that is disapointed with Apple?
Delayed? They have not even been announced yet.... How can they be delayed?
Wait..ummm.. I want an iphone6 in may.... But i hear it is delayed. Lol

Is that it? That was a good take on how he and a lot us feel, perhaps open up to others perspectives rather than put people down.
This is the same stock gaming that has been going on for years.
Every year a month or two before apple is expected to do something you get "analysts" who make up rumors and spin facts to rake in $$$ on the short term fluctuations in stock price.
Yes it may just effect a few cents, but if your firm is responsible for hundreds of thousands of shares and you have the ability to have your computer make thousands of micro-transactions per minute, you have a recipe for gaming the system which we have seen growing vastly in the last few years.
This is a microcosm, but its a naked example of how detached the economy has become from human reality, and this is just the beginning.

You must be living in LaLa Land - this is a key reason why Apple stock has taken such a beating since September. Apple is simply not delivering.
Under Steve Ballmer, Microsoft is thought to have had a "lost decade". My fear is that Tim Cook is headed in that same direction. Go read the list of REAL ISSUES and MISSES from Apple - that is not whining, it is reality.
These publicity-whore "analysts" are are bright as some of the reporters at Digitimes. They are not even believable. It's not like fingerprint tech is cutting edge anymore. It's 2013.
None of it is 'delayed' because none of it officially exists. And saying Steve wouldn't allow this to happen? How do we know the iPhone, iPad or unibody MacBook weren't 'delayed' ...we don't because it's all just pure speculation based on opinion, rumour and zero fact.
This is just the media and analysts back-tracking already as the 5S was never coming in the Summer! It will land in October, exactly 12 months after it's predecessor as originally expected.

I don't get this. Why does it need a bigger screen? Why do people want a bigger screens? The iphone screen size is perfect right now. Larger screened phones are uncomforatble to hold and don't fit as nicely in pockets.
And how are these things delayed? Unless Apple states a specific release date and then is unable to meet that date, you can't consider something delayed.

They need to get these production issues sorted out, this will be the 3rd straight quarter (at least) that's it's been a significant problem and it is certainly helping to keep the stock price depressed. If Apple can't make enough devices, someone else will step in and fill the void. Sure, these are still just rumors, but it doesn't seem unreasonable considering recent history.
Maaaan I was hoping the 5s would come out this summer as i'm up for renewal and my 4s is on its last legs
I still don't understand the people complaining about the mac pro refresh. Are there really that many people eager to throw $2,500 + on a computer? I'm way more interested in the macbook refreshes

iWork - Delayed
iLife - Delayed
FinalCut Finallyworthadamn - Delayed
LogicPro X - Delayed
... there's a lot more, but why point out that the whole company has become a mire of innovation since Steve hit the dirt?
