I've only read the first page of this forum but wow so much hate for Apple. If none of you ar happy, switch. What exactly does Apple *need* to do to make all of you happy?

As far as pro apps, I am fairly sure Logic Pro is widely used. As for Final Cut. I just finished a feature length documentary and my editors were using Premiere. Horrid horrid experience and very crash prone and yes I did have a legit and most up-to-date copy, I paid Adobe for a year to have Premiere Pro. We had lots of multi-can setups and it was not stable at all. When I used Final Cut for a side project it was not only much more stable but a lot faster. I plan on using Final Cut X exclusively going forward.

So if Apple made these things would you actually buy everyone of them?

Okay, Tim. Don't underestimate the power of the jedi, but i'm sensing that you are trolling your consumers with blatant
lies.
quote #1: Apple has always stood for building the best products on Earth that enrich people's lives. Whether it was Steve's Apple or -- I don't view it as my Apple today, I'm the CEO of it -- that is what we're about. And so we want to change the world through our products. We produce products that give people the ability to do things they couldn't do before.
No...really. What are your "best" products on Earth? Iphones? Even when Chinese (your best friends) starts to imitate you and make their own version? Ipad? Apple watch with colorful bands? 480p cam macbook?
So, just because you are the CEO, do we need to worship you? Very narcissistic of you. Maybe it's about the people, yes?
You want to change the world? You're not Michael Jackson. Again...You want to change the world? How about you break that soldering method like Berlin wall...and let us be free with upgradability. Rather than anti-consumerism method...start proving it.
UPDATED: DANGER DANGER: You produce products that give people the ABILITY TO DO THINGS THEY COULDN"T DO BEFORE?!!! You are SO RIGHT.....SOLDERING.....UNABLE TO EXPAND INTERNALLY.
Killing longivity is your ideal. I don't have problem my mac pro at the moment...and you can thank the software developers for that...at the moment.
Quote 2: Government in general has gotten quite dysfunctional in the U.S. and in some other countries as well. What that does, I believe, is put more responsibility on the everyday citizen and companies to help promote change and improve things. And I don't mean to play a government role, but it's not just government who can change things. All of us are responsible for changing things.
Okay...government is NOT the only group that is dysfunctional. Have you tried to look at yourself? Your business method, priority, and vision (or lack thereof) would be dysfunctional, yes? I don't blame your company to fulfill investors' happiness, but you shouldn't abuse your buyers.
Yes, Tim. All of us are responsible for changing things. For example.....APPLE. Maybe my wallet can change things.
Quote 3: I had incredible love and respect for Steve and I think there has never been anyone like him and believe his contributions and gifts to the world were unbelievable. I also deeply admire people who fought for human rights and were pushing humanity forward. People who I think of when I say that are Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King. These people ultimately risked everything, including their lives, to push people forward so that everyone could be included. They were all about inclusiveness. I'm a great believer in inclusiveness.
Tim, Steve thinks you are a great guy....as COO. You're good at selling products...just not using common historical sense. Also, if you admire some human right celebrities (how could you? You haven't met them in person), maybe you want to apply that concept with your techs? You treat your techs like slave owner....giving people no choice.
This is my opinion by the way.
lies.

Stop talking, get back to work..
Not that you're talking too much, but you repeat yourself too often without really making them happen..
Apple has been nickel & diming for a while.. They are even behind their competitors on the standard yearly upgrades.. And still not even talking about the innovation yet..
Like 16Gb iPhones, using older processors, as well as very low RAMs on desktops and laptops.
Listen, asking $1300 for a laptop (12" macbook) which only compares to 2010 Macs in terms of processor speeds.. It's not acceptable.. Same thing for iMacs, you may call it your low end desktop but that's by far the slowest pc in that price range..
And hey we all know what you did giving a Pro name to an iPad Air 3..
Get your act together Apple..

I found it is really laughable when you dismissed entire Android as cheap alternative and Apple is the only thing that decent.
I have used bunch of Android devices are just as good and probably better than iPhone 6S in many ways. Take LG G5, it's modular desgin. Take Nexus 6P premium looking and has very high user satisfaction. Take Galaxy S7 Eege, take looknat Huawei P9 with dual camera.
Sometimes I feel some Apple users in this forum are living under the rock and refuse to believe competition has catch on.
Of course. That's an abbreviated list of the most common complaints people cite as what they're waiting for Apple to catch up on here.
Oh dear gods no, you didn't jump straight into a "what's wrong with Apple these days" discussion with a glowing opinion of FCPX after a single project with it...
Might wanna put your helmet on.
That cracked me up. Lighting port is cool....but where it plugs....geez...lol

Here...this is how he would say in regards to your quote:"So.......Steve Jobs, eh?" He throws tantrum and throws things at his designers and engineers.
iPhones, Watches and home gadgets. That's what Apple stands for. Instead of a headline about (yet another) new Apple bigwig they just hired for automation, I sure would have rather heard about hiring a new head of the computer division to ramp up and innovate!
I read today that LG came out with a phone screen where the whole screen surface is a fingerprint sensor! Not just some smallish button you have to manipulate to get it "just right". A great example of innovation. Why couldn't Apple do that? Instead we lose a headphone jack and the ability to use normal headphones without a bagful of adapters.
We need a "Trump" at Apple..."Make Apple Great Again!"

Well they all know the real answer: fatter margins to protect record profits. But they also know that they'll be fed a non-sense answer by Tim Cook about how Apple customers are finding 16GB to be ideal, that anything more than that is for "Pro" users, etc.
Except for the fact that PEOPLE BUY THE STUFF, regardless of how overpriced and undervalued it is! That's the amazing thing! If people would, just for 6 months, refuse to buy a new Apple product, I guarantee prices would change and everyone would benefit. Apple might actually work harder to make products WE WANT!
I was not the one editing but I was spending seven months with very seasoned Premiere editors and I saw first hand the issues Premiere had. As far as my experience with Final Cut. That was the first legitimate time I used it, I have used it plenty for non commercial projects with much success.
Yeah? Your products will cure cancer and end hunger? That's changing the world. The toys you make don't change the world.
I guess you haven't seen what they've done in health have you? They're doing a lot more than Android devices have ever done and Android devices are far cheaper.
The iPhone is the most expensive phone, but is the least impressive of the flagships. Go figure, right?
Media hyped? Apple is down 11% year-to-date. The company has slid 27% over the last year. The iPhone being their largest revenue driver is down 26% in China alone--a key market. If rumors are true, the iPhone 7 will be a spec-bumped device that will remain cosmetically unchanged when compared side-by-side with the last two iPhone generations. Wall Street nor Carl Icahn is buying the BS Tim Cook is selling.
How does Apple treat their customers like ****? Seriously?
Innovation? 2.5 years without a Mac Pro refresh? No coherent strategy for USB 3.1/Type-C/Thunderbolt 3? The Mac product lines are stagnating, and simply renaming OS X TO macOS at this year's WWDC won't change that.
There isn't a single armchair quarterback in this thread that could do the job that he has done so far. So many Android trolls. If you don't like Apple products, don't buy them. You will NEVER convince any apple fan not to, so your efforts are utterly pointless
While I can agree they need to bump specs, I must say I am impressed by Apple's commitment to recycling and renewable energy. That's measurable and inspiring for not just the consumer but other businesses to follow their example.
If Apple truly wanted to change the world, it would start off with reducing its retail prices while absorbing the cost to do that, so the world could actually afford to be changed.
There's a lot of spin and little substance coming out from the Cupertino factory of late.
