Unbelievable. I recognized in that moment that one of us was a sad, pathetic case.
So you want him to ask a question about what Apple NEEDS to be doing as opposed to what they are currently doing? I'm sure their response would immediately pivot back to "look at these great things we're doing now."So true. When he was getting them to talk about pro apps for iOS, I kept waiting for him to ask "What could or should Apple do in order to help the development of pro apps, for the good of the platform?" He consistently blows opportunities to ask Apple execs insightful questions as opposed to "Why did you do this or that awesome thing?"
Does anyone really give a **** what these douchebags have to say?

Great interview, very spontaneous, authentic and fun. I doubt the armchair quarterbacks could have done materially better.
I think you are screaming. PCs don't buy or operate themselves, they require users, 600 million PC users.
You will find that here on macrumors that our users most definitely define themselves by thier computers. It's the key attribute actually, also many are both PC and Mac users, so anti PC comments raise a few eyebrow, manly due to being in accurate.

Ha ha never heard that term. Makes sense lol
Basically he was insulting Mac Pro users, almost all of whom have older machines - and even if they'd buy a new one, it is already 3 years old - and offering them an iPad.
I've always thought Schiller to be an idiot. He's not proven me wrong yet.
I said normal people, didn't I?![]()
And? You can insult a tool without insulting the person using it.
For sure. But I don't think he was insulting people or tools/PCs. But rather just bringing to light a situation being the way it is.
Still... I know there are people in the world who for some reason or other need to feel they're being picked on or insulted in order to get through life. I buy and use a certain brand of socks and could not care less what people think about that. Ditto with my woodworking tools, car, and other material things I own.
I can't possibly imagine being insulted by a company executive of a competing tech company commenting on the computers or tech gadgets I own. Why would I even consider giving someone that much power over me?
Would Apple care if you did go to Windows machine?Was this the one where Schiller mentioned the bit about they spend a year working on a new file system and no one cares, and they do two new emoji and everyone flips out?
That was really a sweet moment for me. The one when I stopped feeling guilty about my next computer purchase being a Windows machine.
Yeh, insulting a tool (a PC) really makes sense... Poor argument you've got going on here.And? You can insult a tool without insulting the person using it.
I said normal people, didn't I?
Or maybe he was insulting the Mac Pro as well. I honestly don't think he was insulting people.
Did we just watch the same interview? Federighi seemed to be in very fluent conversation.His presentation was probably written by/with Schiller. Because Federighi is more clumsy when doing these interviews, but this interviewer is bad also so it makes it worse.
And Kevin is hands down the worst, he actually put me off buying the apple watch initially. When first announcing the apple watch and he said "in my spare time I like changing my watch face" it was so cringe. He wasn't any better at presenting at WWDC xDFederighi is _handsdown_ the best keynote speaker at Apple.
Federighi is _handsdown_ the best keynote speaker at Apple.
Come on. Don't you love Johny Ive's white background videos?Federighi is _handsdown_ the best keynote speaker at Apple.
Federighi is _handsdown_ the best keynote speaker at Apple.
I would have asked:
1 - Why no hardware this year?
2 - Why does Tim Cook speak like he's trying to steal children?
3 - Now that Apple allows you to hide apps that are on the home screen, why don't they let you set default apps?
4 - Why is Jony Ive incognito at the biggest developer event of the year? And is he still responsible for the software design?
Just a few I would have asked.
Old womans talles and total ********. Down the road i can easily add another 16-32G of ram, new and current graphic card or even new processor if choose so. And it would cost a fraction of new mac. And win 10 are working like a charm.Upfront cost of windows pc is cheaper agreed, long run cost is a different story altogether.
Since they try to rip buyers and save every penny.....yes they do care. They are public company making profit with......you are right, sales. Sure tim cook is not going to call you at home and beg you to buy macbook but they sure want so sell macbook to evey person they could. Thing of this.....on lost macbook sale in one more added to windows base.Would Apple care if you did go to Windows machine?
If they did care I'm sure they know why more and more people are going to window. If they did care about the sales, wouldn't they realize by now that all these disposable macs and not updating would be shooting themselves in the foot? Tim needs a wake up call.Old womans talles and total ********. Down the road i can easily add another 16-32G of ram, new and current graphic card or even new processor if choose so. And it would cost a fraction of new mac. And win 10 are working like a charm.
