Today Marks the Ninth Anniversary of Steve Jobs' Death

[UK-MacAddict]

My guess is the iMac Pro is a one-off, and they'll unify that once the iMac moves to ARM.

But also, yeah, the iMac design is really just several refinements of the 2005 iMac G5 design (replacing white plastic with aluminum, adding glass to the screen, adding Retina, decreasing the bezels and thickness, removing the optical drive, etc.), but I'm not sure there's a pressing need for a new design there. It's simply the new dependable mid-range desktop.

If anything, the last major rev that reduced the thickness was a misfire. It caused several unforced errors like making the RAM harder to replace, and making thermals worse. It's nice that they have the better cooling system in the iMac Pro, but is it really necessary? They could've simply left it a little thicker. Who looks at the side of a desktop display?

I do like products to look nice and perform well and I do sometimes just stare and admire well designed products lol.

The iMac needed to go back to the G4 flexible arm a long time ago for ergonomics and adjustability. The XDR display has essentially re adopted that mechanism but without the side movement.

In terms of the cooling, the iMac Pro design alleviated that so there was no need to thicken the case. Its just curious as to why it’s not in the standard iMac.

Interesting photo of Steve Jobs. It very obviously has digital boca... something that didn't exist on the iPhone 4s. Notice the background is blurred but the section of his circular lens on his classes isn't... Wonder if this was a test photo of a tech that had not been released?

The section of his glasses does not blur because the glasses break the light.

Better? since when you don't buy something form apple or update your OS? 😆

It is better. Apple is a more diplomatic company, and have better relationship with many of the supply chain. The financial performance kinda showed it as well.

But don't get me wrong, we did have better entertainment when Jobs was still around. Imagine how he would react with the Epic lawsuits. We would have a special keynote with Jobs berating Epic/Spotify/Netflix/et al, and how everybody else in the game have the same fee structure, and maybe give developers a free iPhone case.

Imagine him throwing the shade at Epic Games with this whole Fortnite fiasco. It would be greatness. Steve rarely bowed the knee.

Indeed. It would make the "Thoughts on Flash" open letter look like a Valentine's Day greeting card.
But, Epic would never have dared to pull that stunt in the first place.

The Wrath of Jobs was feared too much.

Nice guess with 0 proof.
and you have 0 proof stating Jibs faith in alternative medicine ever faltered in the first place. Having operations due to colon cancer returning is not any proof.

there is no wrong for me to admit and trying to get someone to state so when they are not wrong is very poor thought.

smh

You say "It is better" as if by you only enunciating it would be enough to make it true. All the reasons you have said maybe real but none of those have delivered better products to me as a customer, on the contrary since Tim "Coke" all that I have is problems with the Apple devices I have bought.

I find very curious how on earth people dare to defend Apple nowadays. The only people I think they could dare do such a thing is people that uses their Apple devices just to play candy crush and send memojis to their friends. But profesionals we are pissed off!, why? because Apple have screwed our businesses by delivering sub par products that dont work properly that disrupts our workflow, and also have betrayed us, we the professionals were the ones who put Apple in the map, it is our money that put them there and they are not taking care of us. We profesionals dont care about memojis and that kind of crap!!!

Ive been using Apple since I was 20 years old, now Im 40. Never had any problem with any of my Apple devices until this Tim "Coke" took charge as a CEO, the Apple that made me a proud customer it is gone. I work in the photography, 3d and cinema industry, and believe me there are a looooot of professionals cursing Apple everyday and night by the crap they are creating. So no, it is not better from a professional point of view.

Don't understand what are the basis and standards you evaluate a company as "better", are you an economist? are you a stakeholder? or you just only play candy crush with your phone?.

Ah, the typical elitist “professional,” yet can only think people only use Apple products for Candy Crush. Yup, let’s insult others because you are obviously the “better” person, especially to judge a technology product. You are obviously the only person who has the right to call others names as well. Must be high on that privileged pedestal.

Calling names? insult others? the typical elitist professional? where are the examples of all those things you are saying? In any case the only one calling names is you, saying that Im the typical professional elitist.

What was the thing you didnt agree on? what was the thing I said that insulted you?

Have I said that you dont have the right to judge a technology product? I just said that Apple it is not reliable for a professional anymore. And with the candy crush thing what Im trying to imply with that it is that the consecuences involved when a device doesnt work properly when it is bought as a professional tool are evidently huge, not in the case of the candy crush players of course, the last time I look nobody died if the candy crush app crashed.

If you dont see why it is more important the reliability of a device used as a tool for a professional than a device used for leisure activities and and the stakes involved. Then with that you proof that you dont have the faintest idea of what it is like to have a business and the consequences involved when a brand such as Apple sells you defective software and hardware.

With this I dont mean to insult you, just make you see why Apple it is not better from a professional perspective. If it is better for you as a candy crush player that is for you to decide.

Tim Cook has only been CEO for 9 years. It feels longer for some reason. Apple has exponentially grown since that fateful day. However, I wish we had another visionary like Jobs who can reinvent the world. We need a phone that makes dinner, for example. That might be cool.

 

[The-Real-Deal82]

Obviously it’s very sad when someone dies and Steve Jobs contributed a lot to the technology arena but I don’t mourn the bloke. It’s more a case of being surprised it’s that long ago as I remember the news at the time.

Or just an image not shot or prepared on... a phone.

You didn't look close enough. A camera with a natural compressed depth of field produced by a lens wouldn't produce areas in focus and out of focus around his head (glasses) like the error that shows up on digital boca produced by ... a phone.
