Jony Ive Remains 'Eager to Create' and 'Completely in Awe' About Creative Process

Apple isn't a quarter-by-quarter company, and in the long term the stock will recover and continue to grow. Here is what Apple said at their most recent earnings call:

well if the price does look like it is going to recover, who knows I might buy a few shares.
Not reporting the unit sales is a minor factor in the sell off, if you don't report the figures, you have something to hide mantra.

1. The screen turns on as you raise it up to use it.

I was using my phone on the arm of a chair, so was static - thats good to know, at least when holding it, that is one less step - pressing the bottom of the screen was the step that was annoying.

2. You can turn off the feature that requires you to look at the phone.

Will need to look in to that one. Is that where your eyes don't need to be open?
The issue I had on the arm of the sofa is that I am not on top of the phone so it is not seeing my face in range/angle

3. After you swipe up, your thumb is hovering over the screen to hit a target. Before it was resting on the home button so you would need to add an extra step (4) to move your thumb off the button and up to the screen (like a swipe does in one step).

I don't see that as much of a difference.
I think the main thing that was annoying was the press bottom of screen, but like you pointed out that step can be avoided some of the time.
Haven't tried it in bed yet, that will probably be another annoying aspect, phone is in clock dock and want to turn on phone but will have to do gymnastics to look at the phone...

Apple sold 218 million iPhones last year.

If 99% were perfect and only 1% had a defect, they would still have sold more than 2 million defective iPhones.

That doesn't mean there is a quality control issue, but I agree it's good that Apple makes it easy to get things replaced.

I have heard a lot of stories online that mentions Apple having issues with quality control.
I guess they make enough money that it is easy to cover all the replacements which keeps customers coming back.
If it had been any other company, I don't think I would have come back.
It might not seem it from my posts but Apple does have a lot of plus points in its devices.

There is no such thing in this world as luck.
The odds of having such a stream of failures goes to show that Apple has some issues with quality control.
Its just as well that it is easy to get things replaced.

I said it before, luck is beating the statistical odds. Like getting hit by lightning is 960000 to 1. Or winning the powerball is 262 million to one. Would you think that if you got hit by lightning, it’s a common event? or if you won the lottery it must be easy. When one beats the statistical odds they are said to be lucky or unlucky.

You are unlucky. It’s not apple’s quality control, it’s you statiscal (lack of) luck.

You are probably right, it is not Apples quality control, it is more likely Apples design that is at fault.

It's more likely you are metaphorical statistical equivalent of a lottery winner in hardware that misses the .05% QC.

You keep saying that, but discount things like the iPhone 6 Battery program.

The base iMac Pro outperforms a $10,000 custom-built Windows machines for editing RAW footage in Premiere Pro, and looks better while doing it.

Thanks for the link, that's interesting (but not entirely surprising being Adobe haha)! I wonder how long that will remain true? I guess it's lucky that it's a very specific use case.

It mattered to me as a video editor working in Premiere and After Effects, which is why I was impressed. That's the main reason for me to need a desktop these days.

Look at the post history of the majority of negative commenters.

They have never owned an Apple product and only post negative comments.

Then ask yourself why they are spending so much time commenting and liking in a forum that focuses on products they don't own.

I own a Retina MBP (which works great, and I won't "upgrade" to the pieces of crap they are making now (if it dies, I will hunt down another second hand rMBP, or look into Hackintosh)), and iPhone 6 (which works great, and I won't upgrade to a newer iPhone without a headphone socket, I will sadly have to move to Android next), and my son owns an older MBA (which also works great, and similarly I won't "upgrade" it in a pink fit), an older iPad mini (works fine, and the prices of the new ones are now prohibitive), and an iPhone 7 (which he scored for free). So no, my comments of disliking the direction that Apple design has headed in recently, are not from someone who has never owned an Apple product. And I think you'll find that a huge number of the negative comments from others are in the same boat. We ARE Apple users, who love the Apple products that SJ made, and are furious with where the product line has headed recently.
