Indeed. I laugh at those that upgraded every year then THIS year they say the iPhone 16 isn't sufficient for an annual upgrade. When I look at the comparison of specs for the last several years, every year is incremental. I'm not calling that bad at all. I update about every three years based on some accumulation of new features but not on a schedule. Many many others are similar give or take a year or two.
Yes, it was ready on day one. If you didn’t want to download them you didn’t have to. My Macs and iPhone handled the updates smoothly and without issues or bugs that I saw.
Personally I have no problem at all getting the new AI features in multiple stages. I'll have to spend a little time with each anyway to see if/how it can fit into my routine. And I have no problem getting my iphone 16 now rather than waiting for AI to be fully ready.
I disagree. Someone else posted that only 8% update more often than every two years (very many are far less often). The ONLY thing that really happens because of these Fall releases is that the buying of new phones is weighted heavier later in the year than the rest of the year.
Interesting. 8% of existing Apple iPhone owners is nothing to sneeze at though. I think the shareholders will see the difference. Hard to believe the board would like these plans. We shall see.
I’ve been on the Sequoia beta for awhile now. I can’t say that I’m a power user or anything so your mileage may vary, but it’s been pretty solid except for a notification issue on the first beta.
Exactly. Apple peaked years ago and is on the slow decline now. Pathetic. More innovation? Unlikely. Apple Vision Pro was a complete and utter failure. The car project likewise. Everything is just a slightly better product from last year’s model. No innovation going on at all like that which happened under Jobs. Cook has destroyed a great company. Way to go. I just wish someone would come along and create something better so Apple was just a distant memory. They are now the Microsoft of the 2000’s. Soon to be IBM.
Yep, that 😂. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Removing the cycle means less revenue productivity which means stock suffers. Read up on investments. This is bad for shareholders
Just curious, what specifically should we reasonably expect as far as new products or substantial improvements that they don't have? Personally I'm very much appreciating my iPhone and Mac and especially how they work well together, but I'm sure I don't miss what I don't know we could have but don't. And what other company has done substantially better at adding those products or features?
Agreed, but I think they are perfectly clear that it’s not yet available. I saw a commercial that clearly showed available in fall and their website has the same text in the same page as the first mention of it. That’s probably enough of a legal force-field as required. That may not meet the threshold of “EXTREMELY”, but ultimately those who purchased the devices will be receiving it. Not long from now.
