Samsung Fold makes to many compromises just to tick a checkbox of "we did it first" it's neither a good phone nor a good tablet. HomePod is hardly a failure from a technical standpoint and I would not trade it to anything else. I have two of them.

Obviously this didn't catch Apple flatfooted, as foldable displays have been talked about for a while and Samsung's foldable phone was rumored for quite some time as well, but what can apple do? I mean Samsung has the advantage of developing display technologies, Apple buys display panels from others.Yeah, from Apple headquarters ...
No it wasn't, they are #1 in the watch market, not because of new band colors but because of the innovation in the watch. They were doing things that were not fully done with other smart watches.
As or emojis, the iPhone's popularity is not due to emojis but the phone itself and the ecosystem. We're seeing pushback on people buying new iPhones annually because all we're seeing is emojis and cute features that mean little, but are incurring high prices.

I think its too early to tell quite yet. While this phone is the very definition of bleeding edge, and we have to wait to see what sort of "teething" problems that early adopters will incur the foldable screen and integration of software like they did is innovative and incredible. I have my doubts that this will be a run away success in part because of the hefty price.
LOL. Apple IS doomed. Sorry, buddy. Once Pope Jobs dropped Computer from Apple Computer. The beginning of the end was when the stupid iPod came out. I saw it then. I called it. I was right in the end. The iPod failed. And it took down Apple with it.
Notice many of these companies require mobile "apps". Well then what are they running on? Thats right, iOS and Android.
Curious, where are you getting that definition from, or is it your personal perception?
Agreed.
What I meant by mere cynicism (the kind that isn't based in valid criticism) are those that seriously act like the introduction of Animoji was adding to the delay of the Mac Pro or like Face ID wasn't an impressive achievement ("just shoved Kinect into a notch"), comments that just have no basis in reality. And I read a lot of those around here, which annoys me.
So, since we are all a bunch of haters, what has apple innovated in 2018?
They are counting on black earbuds to put them back on top.
Innovation.
Innovation.
Innovation is about new changes to things. It’s best when changes are made for the better.
Apple innovation: Swift, APFS, custom chips, new unibody architecture, Force Touch, 3D Touch, Force Touch tracking, Touch ID, Face ID, rounded displays, health monitoring, ProMotion, Touch Bar, butterfly keyboard, beamforming sound, easy Bluetooth pairing.
Samsung innovation: too many to list.
Yeah maybe I’m bad at reading between the lines and good at exaggerating... but people on this site sure aren’t the most cheerful crowdIt's so funny you think people feel miserable because of a bad news for Apple
Watch 4 is more innovative than anything tech released in 2018.
Lists are generally stupid and just opinion at their core. Apple at 17 this year is about as relevant as them being 1 last year. It’s just a way to get clicks and for people to read your silly list. Now the headline can be a”Apple drops to 17...innovation dead in Cupertino.”
And so many of you just eat it up.

maybe if they made an SE2 for the millions of us who like a smaller phone, they made see a jump in sales again

Thank you. This was a good test to see if anyone actually read the article.
I had a good chortle over Stitch Fix as a fishing store for women. Talk about a niche market.
BTW, the also do men’s clothing too.
This is simply just false... Apple has come up with new and innovative ways to rip of their customers and alienate their most loyal followers. innovative pricing structures across all device categories. Tim Cook is an innovative genius.
Even though Apple ranked 17th, they finished better than their "peers"
So, if Apple ain't innovating, ain't nobody innovating.
I guess they are all waiting for Apple so they have something to copy.
