You think ATV and iPhone 6S pre-orders will go live the same day/time?
Your sentiment was old in 2008. Someone ALWAYS says this. Thanks for keeping up the tradition! If we had an Apple event and no one made your comment, the Internet would explode. The backlash to the way Apple sold the Apple Watch would be nothing compared to the furor if no one complained about the Apple online store going down before a keynote.2015? Why does the Apple Store still have to go down for several hours before a keynote?!
For the phone? Yeah.... ATV hasn't had a pre-order since the last one a few years ago.This Friday I would think, but they didn't allow pre orders last year if I remember?
And it clearly works!You would obviously have an offline copy, so you would make the changes to that as and when. Putting it up online when its complete takes seconds!
Its clearly to grab attention!
This.I wish I were excited, but I am not really. It will be nothing revolutionary. Apple plays catch up these days.
I think we can safely conclude that taking the store down is not a matter of technical reasons.
Either Apple are doing it solely for the PR value of it or there are other practical reasons (like education of staff, translations of materials and other stuff that they want to do in the last minute to prevent leakage).
Ooh I would buy that.I hope this is released this week....if in fact it's true. Saw on 9to5 Mac![]()
This.
I get hyped during Google I/O keynotes these days.
They might not execute as good as Apple does, or did shall I say, but they show off a lot more new things that I know some of them might make their way to Apple's development teams some day.
By the time Apple shows their spin on a feature, often times more polished, often times not, I'm happy to get it, but the wow effect faded.
And to add insult to injury, if you don't live in the US, many things are on hold anyways and by they time they launch in your country the excitement long got replacement with the same old boredom and disappointment that you had to wait for a ridiculously long time.
There have been some wow moments in the past years, but they are overshadowed by the disappointing moments, Aperture getting canned being one of the biggest ones for me personally.

Yes, you should watch them.There are "Google I/O keynotes "????
I feel like Apple always has innovations, but too things that other companies have already done.
6. Reducing iOS size and app sizes
6: Who cares about that?
Better yet, look at the covers of Popular Mechanics. Now that's exciting stuff! By the time Apple gets around to making a flying car, it will be old hat.Yes, you should watch them.
More surprises and also a lot of cues of what Apple might work on next as well.
The catch up game of both of these companies is strong.
Both copy a lot, which is GOOD, however Apple seems to be more in the position of playing catch up feature-wise, so if you want to see some fresh things, watch that.

PS: I know you were trying to troll.
A note... I've always thought Apple should just offer the 4G versions of the iPads with full phone capabilities. Not that I'd want to have a 10" phone... but it could be useful for businesses or even for consumers if you could dynamically use your iPad with your current phone account so that it's the same number and same everything as your normal iPhone.
I care zero about Apple making a car, so possibly a bad example, but you're right.Better yet, look at the covers of Popular Mechanics. Now that's exciting stuff! By the time Apple gets around to making a flying car, it will be old hat.
I think that Apple has always played catch up. There have been better-spec'd computers, higher capacity MP3 players, bigger smartphones, and desktop-level tablets, but every few years, Apple has made a successful consumer-friendly version of each. I don't know why people have grown to expect frequent innovation—much less be disappointed when there isn't.
tl;dr: Apple does innovate but not as frequently as their massive successes lead us to believe.
I agree with your analysis of apples history. The iPhone I think was their greatest achievement in that space. I don't expect revolution every year or even more than once a decade, but they did it twice in the naughties (3 if we include 2010 and the iPad), but there has been nothing since. iOS is a rip off and is flaky, AirPlay is as flaky today as it was when it was launched, that apple watch isn't groundbreaking (it is slightly useful based on my experience, but if mine broke I wouldn't replace it). The iPhone feels as though it is driven by margins first and innovation second (completely counter to the SJ attitude of screw the shareholders).
You know, it is what it is, but apple feels like it's been using Jonny Ive to put lipstick on a pig and even he seems to be losing interest.
Apple ain't Apple anymore.
