Surely that should read "Apple Charging the World"? And I am not referring to a Qi type of charging.
Do you ever ask how Apple is eating Samsung's lunch in mobile? Best mobile silicon, 90% of the profits in the smartphone industry, #1 Watch, $20B profit in 90days, $88B in revenue in 90 days...both up 13% y/y?I’ve some serious questions to ask:
How come Apple neglected so many areas and let competitors eat Apple’s lunch?
Why did Apple make so little progress in their computer hardware?
How come Apple charges the same amount of money for 4+ years old design?
Some people feel trapped into Apple’s ecosystem, what does he think of that?
How come Siri was first and ended last?
What is compelling about Apple TV when all smart tv’s sold today offer more included?
How come Apple does one transit of a city a month and google does a whole country in the same timeframe?
I can go on and on... and I really wish I could ask those questions because no one does it in an interview![]()
Of course that is your opinion, however going along those lines of thinking that would be due in part to Steve Jobs.Agree 100%

And they could have made a faster/better/cheaper iPod back in 2006 when Apple were iPod kings of the world. Apple hasn’t released a new product of relevance since 2010.
Funny to see a post this frivolous from one among a team of moderators entirely willing to remove posts for being frivolous.I think he's going on a world tour to promote the new emojis

He should milk away. Stock is up, record breaking quarter, etc. new products that are selling well, according to Apple and the analysts.
I don't think his post was "frivolous", as Apple has been advertising emojis extremely hard lately. This seems to be the direction Apple is going lately.Funny to see a post this frivolous from one among a team of moderators entirely willing to remove posts for being frivolous.
The "money" is the sign of what apple is doing. It's the end product of producing products and services your customers want, not the goal in and of itself. The market is determining Apple's worth. And to paraphrase: "one person's innovation is another persons meh, and one person's meh is another person's innovation".Well that’s the problem, isn’t it? Some of us remember not too long ago it was about innovation. Now it’s about money. I can’t wait til the Tim Cook era is over. Half ass updates, trickling out technology behind everyone else and charging a fortune for it. The lamest collection of half ass products in Apples history have been under Tim Cooks leadership. Seriously.,, what have they done since Jobs died? Nothing. Same old ****, different wrapper.
Whining about emoji on unrelated topics is quickly getting as tired as “Apple is doomed,” Safari being snappier, etc. and will soon—if it hasn’t already—meet a fate similar to those types of posts.I don't think his post was "frivolous", as Apple has been advertising emojis extremely hard lately. This seems to be the direction Apple is going lately.
Do you think it’s an either or proposition? Emojis or update computer line? Emojis or fix some bugs?I don't think his post was "frivolous", as Apple has been advertising emojis extremely hard lately. This seems to be the direction Apple is going lately.
I think it’s hilarious that there are people saying Apple hasn’t innovated since Steve Jobs does. They’re clearly not paying attention.
Because it's on MiSinformationNBC, Tim Cook will be goaded into slamming President Trump in socio-politically correct fashion even though Apple has made millions if not a billion dollars just off of the US Tax Reform bill. Mark it on a calendar now.
Yep, they're clearly not paying attention. That's why iPhone X & iPhone 8 sales were below expectations.
Although in Tim Cook's brilliant mind, that was only because there were not enough device colors and animojis.![]()
He only pretends. Apple actually seems very politics-neutral, especially compared to some of the other big tech companies like Google.Apple stopped changing the world when Jobs died. Tim Cook only tries to change the world with his politics.
Does Apple? Last time I checked I saw Samsung making profits in the range of Apple. But as I’m not a shareholder and care less about profits. You should consider that Samsung and even the Chinese brands are pouring more money into R&D and it’s beginning to show. For a company the size of Apple there is very little progress that they make.Do you ever ask how Apple is eating Samsung's lunch in mobile?

The entirety of Samsung includes washing machines, not a compatible business model. Poster did say mobile. As far as this connected home, I don’t want it, not even from Apple, but I do agree there probably will be HomeKit in non-Samsung appliances way down the line.Does Apple?

People laugh about Bixby but sooner than later Samsung is able to connect the dots. Their tv, refrigerator, washing machines, phones, wearables, are able to communicate with each other in a way Apple can’t provide.
As long as Apple keeps focusing on pleasing shareholders (short term) and less on building the stones for the future I’ll keep reminding them.
They could focus more on services now. But in my opinion you chose a service out of free will because it’s the best choice. Apple is trying to trap you. It’s only short time working.
If Apple really cared about customers, they should’ve made most of their products in the buyers guide a BUY NOW. Even Dell has surpassed apple’s latest offerings.
Tim Cook is now introducing products that are more than a year away (MacPro and even the HomePod was talked about spring 2017???)
I understand when companies get more matured they can’t constantly wow you. But Apple is surely under delivering these days. Maybe they put all their efforts, engineers and programmers in some secret project like Titan... if not I there is definitely something very wrong at this once beloved company.

''he wont answer a question like that because it showcases that he's a better supply leader and accountant than actual CEO.How come Apple neglected so many areas and let competitors eat Apple’s lunch?

You cannot reason with anti-Cook people. It does not work. They live in fearful bubbles where race, sexuality, and progress scares them.... every Tim Cook thread on this board always has the anti-progress crowd out in force. It takes so much energy to be bigoted..... it’s easier to not be.Considering Apple’s growth exponentially since Cooks leadership in 2011 and onward that Apple has taken since Job’s passing with the company‘s value and expansion of products/services, what you’re posting is absolutely false.

You think Samsung’s profits are from selling Galaxies? They make most of their money from selling components to other company’s like Apple. They also sell dishwashers, appliances, RAM, and military equipment.Does Apple? Last time I checked I saw Samsung making profits in the range of Apple.

You’re devaluing cook. Cook is NOT Ballmer, far from it. Cook is a genius in his own right and was always viewed as one of the brains at Apple who killed it behind he scenes. He’s grown into his role as CEO, who Jobs handpicked to run the company. Jobs respected and trusted Cook.I don't know about that. I'm pretty damn critical of his performance as CEO, and I'm absolutely a Progressive Liberal.
I can support and encourage social responsibility and progress, while at the same time think he's riding the coat-tails of those who came before him.
If we want to say that Apple's profitability shows he's a great leader, I point you at Steve Ballmer. Who saw Microsoft's profits skyrocket under him, but NOBODY would tell you he was actually a good leader of microsoft. He was a bean counter, no different than Cook, who inheretted a juggernaught that already had a marked upwards trend.
Seems to me being a "Steve Ballmer" is a good thing. Microsoft is no worse from it, apart from the failed cell phone attempts. Apple will be no worse for it either. It doesn't really matter what one labels Tim Cook as, the reality is he's CEO and will stay until a major catastrophy or he leaves of his own volition.I don't know about that.

Ballme is given a bad wrap. He did a lot of good things that set MSFT up for what it is today, just like the Cook detractors argue Jobs did for Cook.Seems to me being a "Steve Ballmer" is a good thing.
