I’m happy with my iPhone X. I used a retina macbookpro for a job recently and have some issues with it but overall it performed well. My issues were very high-end situation specific.
jobs was a tech-guy - he loved the products.
cook is a finance-guy - he loves money and grow
we will never see, products like the one with jobs, ever again.
cook will do his best, to focus on shareholder, and even more on cook, and cook.
cook first - america second

Great. Another paid puff piece for Tim to pontificate with abandon, while the entire product pipeline is going down the gutter.
I don't get the #1 placement at all. The companies lower on the list were far more interesting. And useful. Innovation-wise, it's far more impressive what Patreon and Diamond Foundry have accomplished.

“The owner of that drone. Find him. And bring me his head.”
Apple DID tell people but people never bother reading the details in iOS upgrade notices. They need to be handheld at all times. Including being told to take their phone in for service before buying a new one.
I have moved away from traditional computers. I find that iOS has been better for my needs. I bought the iPhone X, iPad Pro 10.5, Airpods, and Apple Watch Series 3 last year. All have been perfect for me.
Repeat with me: Mac Pro and Mac mini don't sell well, so they don't get updated that frequently.
Sorry.
iMac has been regularly updated (2013, 2015, 2017), in line with significant-enough jumps in processors which is due to Intel.
They didn't cheat anyone with the phone- they tried to increase stability and phone life with a small hit to performance. And as an AASP I can say that phones that actually ran into this issue are less than 20% of the people who show up wanting a cheap battery.
If Apple cares about artists, they don't care about custom experience. If they did, then Apple music would have improved since the launch... Could be a combination of AM and/or iTunes version. but the main plot is there.
Any company will say they care "more for" but really, that's not how it ever turns out.
If Tim reckons otherwise, prove it..
Apple could have done better by communicating with users about power management on iPhone as well initially, so that alone tells you they don't care.. otherwise, it wouldn't have happened.
Mistake do get made, but not if you are really concerned about your goal 100%, its not. It's supposed to be a clear, not just muddy waters.

Sometimes it’s what you claim. Sometimes it’s anti-Apple trolls making up stuff. Sometimes it’s professional whiners who simply don’t know how to use tech. It’s all of that. People who make logical critical comments are respected. People who just b*tch and moan aren’t.
No, they DIDN'T. When Apple says "improves power management during peak workloads" nobody but Apple engineers translates that to "we throttle your processor frequency."
And the service/genius test would have pointed to no wrongdoing, instead their advice would be to just buy a new phone.
Get your facts straight please.
“Would be” tells me you never actually took a phone in for service. My iPhone 6 was shutting down at 40% charge. I took it to an Apple store and they changed the battery for free in an hour. THAT’S what a normal owner is supposed to do.
Very little people care about the Mac Pro or Mac mini. That is why it is not a focus.
That’s fine for you but I am in the professional A/V for live events. Can’t use iOS devices for that.
Exactly the Pro was never a mainstream product and neither was the mini. The MacBook Pro has been what has really been pushed marketing wise.
Sure Tim. Apple maintains some of the highest margains out there. It does so for shareholders and that makes sense.
If Tim was so concerned about people and other nonsense he wouldn’t be sitting on more money than many countries have.
I respect Apple for what they are. But in the end it’s all about the money.

It seems like most of this anger has to be tied into the economy in which case that is not The fault of Apple
Should do like I do...realize all the negative Neds and Nancys posting here haven’t ever owned or used most of the Apple products they whine about, then completely ignore them while you enjoy the marvels that are Apple products with groundbreaking technology!I'm sure there will be a lot of negative post on this article but i still think Apple make great products, the iPhone X is easily the best iPhone yet (and the best smartphone on the market in my opinion) the iPad Pro is a great device that has evolved to become a more computer like device for a lot of people, the Apple Watch is easily the best smart watch on the market, the AirPods are great and the HomePod is a great sounding speaker that is worth the cost alone.
Ok i've posted my positive thoughts and agree with Tim Cook, it's now time for the negative ones to start flowing
[doublepost=1519235454][/doublepost]
Yes, because Apple and its employees are supposed to work for free! /s
Tim Cook literally says the same thing over and over and over again, and every time, the media eats it up like its novel
And logical legitimate critical comments generally come with a logical way Apple could maybe make a product better. OMG ROFL THERE’S NO AUX INPUT ON THE HOMEPOD DOES NOT fit into that category.
Ah people in here whinging about the iPhone X price. I wonder if these are the same people who complain when their car company launches a high end model.
Likely a deal your government made with Apple to bring the jobs to those countries. Better to have employment opportunities I would think.
I would say apple is focused on how to aligned their products with people's needs. Because if they really cared about people the would be paying all their taxes which go to fighter fighters, police departments, street maintenance, etc. you know things people need and use.
