So many knee-jerk comments on this forum; makes me see clearly why the majority of the population of this forum (or, the planet?) could never even dream of being employed by Apple - that takes VERY special insightful people.
Got a tip for us?

Apple CEO Tim Cook: It 'Means More to Us to Get it Right' Than to Be First

Good point. While I personally had a good experience with iOS 7 at launch, maps was definitely a disaster.
I think this is right on. It reminds me of a few things:
The move from PPC to Intel. It was a huge change/gamble, and it paid off. It showed that Apple is forward thinking, and not stuck on something because of ego.
iPhone - Apple hasn't always been first to the market with every new feature, but what they've implemented has been well done for the most part.
iOS7 - slightly rough at first, but it was for the right reasons - the software is better overall.
Mac Pro - took a few years to update but what they came out with is game changing. All the hoopla about abandoning the Pro Market was unfounded.
Final Cut Pro X - Apple went a little too far with this. They had good intentions, and have been good about fixing it, and adding features. I think they went after a heavier prosumer market and nailed it.
Probably more examples I can't think of at the moment.

Yeah cause when I was on my iPhone (before I switched) listening to music and then having my phone crash for no reason is considered "great"
----------
Lets note here that I was on iPhone before I switch to Android in January. iOS 7 was great....on its looks. But functionality....nnot so much. Lets ALSO note that I have an iPod Touch 5th gen running iOS 7 as well so yes, even though I left for Android, I still have an iPod Touch to run iOS 7 with.
----------
Im not criticizing its looks. On the contrary I am a fan of iOS 7's look...for the most part. Thing that I didn't like about iOS 7 was its functionality. It was really buggy and crashed a lot on my iPhone 5 when I had it.

Now I Understand
Thanks for clarifying that Mr. Cook. That explains why I had to drive 240 miles last Friday to get OS X reinstalled on my new Mac Pro because you won't provide a version on a thumb drive.
Now I feel so much better.

Wait... you're accusing Android OEMs of focussing on litigation rather than innovation? Riiiiggght.
TouchID is highly innovative - in fact, since it was released i've been wondering how I managed to use phones for all these years without a fingerprint sensor on them! I think of all those extra milliseconds ive saved unlocking my phone and just stare in amazement
If that is what passes for innovation in technology now then we really are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Better yet, come back and talk to me when Apple manages to "invent" a phone with a screen that's a usable size.

Have you heard of the internet? Just asking, with sincerity.

I have heard that it is quite hard to access the internet if your computer won't work...

Yep, why bother actually using words to communicate anymore when you can just use tired and out-of-context meme imagery

I love my yellow iPhone 5C, it has a very nice feel to it, and is a premium product. It supplements my 5S very nicely.
80% of Worldwide market at what cost to profitability? Profits matter, market share is just there for Blandroid cheerleaders to mentally masterbate over. It lets them think they are "winning".
This crap is beyond old. Buy some else if you don't like it and stop whining.
Quit making excuses Tim. Larger screen phones work. There's nothing to "perfect." It's been done and you're late to the game. The only reason why a possible bigger screen iPhone gets any press is because of the name. The rest of the world has already been there and done that and it works great.

If you did that you really aren't the sharpest pencil in the box. You can easily create a bootable USB drive from any other Mac. Not that you even have to do that, because the new Mac Pro is capable of booting into recovery mode and downloading Mavericks over the web. Finally, Apple stores are not the only place you can get a Mac reformatted. It is highly unlikely that the nearest authorized service provider to you is 120 miles away unless you live in a remote part of Alaska.
So would Mavericks...
Tim Cook is getting lots of practice telling people what they want to hear. Even better they actually believe it. As a company you can't ask for more than blind faith.
The success of those devices disagrees with you. Although looking at your post history, I think it's safe to say that both apply to you.
