Some may prefer the boredom if we all used the same Apple stuff, drove the same cars, ate the same porridge and wore identical uniforms.
But I would NOT be amongst that group.
I have far too much imagination, education, enthusiasm, energy and love of life to be so narrow and restricted.
It's just that simple![]()
Wow, you must drive a unicorn to work! That's awesome.
Anyway, if it's the best overall porridge being produced at the time, then I'll have another bowl, please. Or no, wait... On second thought, give me a bowl of that **** porridge, I want to be different for different's sake and express myself!![]()
I think as long as Steve Jobs heads Apple, he'll be pushing the company to innovate, competition or not, just because he wants to. Hearing this idea that Apple will stop innovating if there were no competition gets tiresome. Did Apple make the iPhone and iPod touch because they had competition? When the first iPad came out, was there any competition? No, Apple innovated just because they could and they wanted to.
Let's take a step back and dissect this for a sec. Outside of iOS related contents and acquisition of the chip designer, apple does not invent, manufacture majority of the hardware inside of idevices. Most of key features including retina display is coming from another company's porfolio (ie LG in this case).
You guys are seeing this from a device perspective and missing the point of competition improving the supplier market which in turn trickles down to the device manufacturers. Lot of these hardware that we're considering as class leading existed and demoed multiple times.
You do realize the iPod, iPhone, and ipad were invented by apple to compete in the mp3, smartphone, and tablet market right? Competition is good, if apple didn't innovate to compete in those markets then we wouldn't have the products we have today.

You do realize this has nothing to do with what's been argued in this thread, right? The OP already addressed this.
Ok, well I haven't read page 4, but most of the arguing I saw revolved from the perspective of someone who will only buy apple products, like "how is that going to make the next apple product better if it can't even compete with the current model, there for competition is meaningless".
What I was pointing out was that apple developed those products to compete with what was out there at the time, fat is how competition is good. And since apple developed those products the other manufcturers have responded with thinner and more powerfull devices and android, winpho, and webos. Competition got us the iphone and ipad and it'll get us whatever comes next that will eventually outdue the iphone.
tl;dr as they sayEvery new
