I'm struggling to decipher what you're saying here, but I think the logic follows that apple could release the ENIAC, put MacOS on it, and it would be the best mac technology, because they are the only ones that make it?
They drilled 2 holes, added an extra fan, then redesigned a motherboard.
Reading isn't that hard:
The touchbar is, to put it lightly, ****ing retarded.
The Macbook (I assume you meant this by saying Macbook Air) is innovative?
The iPhone isn't a Mac.
The iPad isn't a Mac.
The App Store on the Mac needs to die. It isn't an innovation, it is a hemorrhoid.
The iPod isn't a mac, and has been abandoned by apple
Fingerprint sensors on computers have existed forever, and continue to be stupid.
Only the 5K iMac is innovative, so I guess one out of 8 isn't bad.
Again I'm trying to decipher what you're saying. I'm boorish and ridiculous because I can't see if something isn't relevant to me....? Does not looking at the dark side of the moon also make me boorish and ridiculous? Since I can't see it, and it isn't relevant to me?
I think you need to read up on your computer history, so you can understand what real innovation is young padawan.
Apart from loving the Star Wars quote, the rest of your post is just deliberately not understanding me.
However i’m getting a hell of a lot of likes on my posts in this thread so i’ll take it most people get what i’m saying.
Just to spell it out Apple innovate all the time, just because you personally don’t appreciate their innovations doesn’t mean they aren’t happening and doesn’t mean they aren't brilliant.
The first retina laptops and the best attempts at a low glare glossy screen. Predating everyone else by over a year in 2013.
I love the touchbar (it’s just a pity I don’t need a new laptop currently I have loved it when i’ve used it) I hate touchscreens on computers, for me that’s innovation an alternative to a touchscreen laptop or 2 in one and a new avenue for software developers to customise their controls a double innovation. Touchscreen computers that require you to smear the screen and lift your arm into a very uncomfortable and un-ergonomic position to use now that’s innovation I can do without myself, but hey it’s still innovation. (see what I did there? I appreciated an innovation that I personally don’t like as innovation nonetheless) And if you want it, you know where to shop, Microsoft make some great hardware these days, pity their software is still a sack of doodoo but you can’t have everything.
5k screens on an all in one 2-3 years before anyone else got close and still unmatched, it gave the ability to edit 4K footage one to one pixels with your software controls still visible on screen, now that’s innovation.
The MacBook a fanless, silent, all solid state, retina screened beauty perfect for anyone who needs personal computing and business apps on the go, so innovative that everyone copied them within months.
Lastly the iMac Pro a fully featured workstation built into a slim compact all in one with a class leading screen and I/O. Now that’s innovation as no one else makes one.
Notice this time I stuck to macs and your arbitrary 5 year timeline. Now show me the innovation in the rest of the market. If you’ve read the thread you’ll see my thoughts on the surface studio and I’ve been pretty clear what I think about touch screen computers in their current incarnation but knock yourself out point out what i’m missing.
As I say you may not want or need any of these innovations but not recognising them as innovations is ridiculous.
Lastly i’m Off to see Star Wars tonight can’t wait are you booked in to see it??
