Unless Steve Jobs calls home.
So they got amazing products in the pipeline?
Sorry, must have missed that Apple entered the oil drilling business...

apple better come out with something interesting quick before samsung or Huawei
release another revolutionary device
there is nothing worse than someone hitting you when you are down in the floor
apple should get up quick and act before samsung and Huawei finish the fight via knockout
sorry is not looking good for apple
is a shame because apple was a good quality company
beautiful high class devices but Tim has lower quality and raise prices
this is for for apple lawyers
we are not haters, we love apple but we can't clap
when apple do something wrong
we are not haters, we are realistic and we are not blinded by fanaticism
yes I will like apple to success to be what it was
but is not going to happen under Tim leadership
Steve was dying and he had to make a rush decision
so he selected Tim because he didn't have time to get anyone else
if he would it have more time , I'm sure he would it have selected someone else for the job
if you guys think that he is doing a wonderful job ripping off his own costumers
then I will clap for that if that makes you happy
but why you want to forced us to like him or accept him
when we know that he is doing an awful job
this is not nothing personal
we are not haters
we simply want things to be fair
I pay you good money and you give me a good device worth that amount that I just paid
don't overcharged me and sale me some cheap crap
yes a nice paint job but what's under the hood

The pipeline is lost in the roadmap. The roadmap is currently stuck in a colour swatch.
lol!
This headline made me laugh.
Wait I'm not done.
lol!!!!
Doesn't he say this every year?

A Tim Cook"Book" coming out that will blow us away?

$200-300 less than XR, I would definitely be interested.Think he means this, which will be announced on Tuesday:
Latest processor and camera on a par with Google's phone, using software to improve image quality. You can't see but there is a fingerprint reader under the screen, would have been so much better without the notch, but they are betting on facial gestures being central to iOS in the future.

You forgot to add "Filled by Tim"
Apple could easily fix all the issues we are complaining about.
It's standard components, that are widely available.
Just a little more conservative design and better quality control.
Done.
The MacBook Pro can be fixed easily.
The MacPro could be re-established easily.
The iPad could have more flexible iOS versions.
The iPhone could be priced according to its features.
The Apple TV could have a way better interface.
Apple just does not care.

Or, after seeing what customers want, they realize that the whiners on macrumors are nothing but a very loud and obnoxious minority.
Same **** different day from Cook then.
Nothing but salesman talk from him.

With upgradable memory and replaceable SDD. We don't need new and excitable, we need top specs and slightly upgradable. Simple, does not take a rocket scientist. Exclude Ive's team from working on it and the cost to manufacture can be cut in half. Quit trying to blow people away with a garbage can. Just make a Mac, skip the keynote, put it in the store at midnight and users will rejoice.
You're wrong. Users usually don't hate Apple, quite the opposite. However, it seems the direction Apple is going these days is not the majority of user's convenience, to say the least.
In other words: users like Apple, but dislike where Apple's executives lead the company.
So true..
If anything the normal MR experience is that of incessant praise for any/all things Apple does.
It's actually pretty telling how much the tide has turned here in the Mac area in particular.
We are all huge fans - usually long long time Apple users..
None of this is joyful or what anyone wants.
It's pure disappointment and exasperation with where we find ourselves right now honestly.
True enough, the problem is that in between the paradigm shifts, Apple is not even keeping its flagship final products up to par. Apple is so busy floundering trying to find another iPhone like product that its core customers are leaving in droves. Right now they are making it up profit wise with fashion buyers, but that won't last long.
Absolutely the funniest thing I have seen all year, so far.
I like Apple devices and software. I use many everyday for casual and important purposes.
The mystery from my perspective is that one of if not the largest tech corporations in history with no limits on any resources seems to move out incremental updates only and at a snails pace at that.
It really is time for them to either hit another home run and/or to aggressively push and refine their current lines.
In the three main areas, iPhone, iPad, and Mac, the current models give me no reason to not continue using my 3-8 year old devices.

Translates to: Don't sell your stock so I meet my hundreds of millions of dollars bonus. Buy more.
It's been a commOn theme of TC to always use superlatives describing future products (he can't talk about). Then only for us to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait -
After more than seven years of this bluffing, the gig is up. There's NO mind blowing products in the pipeline. There never was and there's zero reason to believe there is now.

The $100 premium for the handy-craft beads? Did they let some poor third world person hand thread these? Why not an app to personalise them and make your own? Beats laser etching hands down.
I hope someone aligns three styles and finds a hidden message "over priced" maybe?
I do hope the ads avoid "ribbed for your enjoyment".
I don't mind using something old that works for me. There's stability in not chasing the latest trend.
My problems are:
- I have needs that remain unaddressed for years and my only alternative is to jump ship.
- New software and processes slowly eroded something I enjoyed (like iTunes -- now an unusable mess).
- Being a perpetual beta tester of hardware and software driven by fashion and "courage".
