  • It's going to be the best thing ever

    From sms@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 12 09:12:18 2023
    It's going to be the best thing ever, the biggest, fastest, and the most technologically advanced thing, packed with all the upgrades and
    capabilities that anyone could ever want.

    It will get rid of all the great features that everyone previously
    needed and used, but that no one wants anymore.

    It's going to change everything. It will make people that use it think different.

    It will be the most advanced and most innovative thing ever in the
    history of the world. Once you have one of these things you will be happier.

    Anyone still using the old thing is standing in the way of human progress.

    It's gonna come in a bold (marketing-tested) exciting new color!

    Beautiful sleek durable new exclusive materials too!

    And a whopping price tag!

    I can't wait to dump the old boring iPhone from last year for this new one!

    Tim Apple is running out of glaze.

    Tim Apple is running out of glaze.

    At this point, Apple is merely a caretaker of the iPhone brand.
    There is no real innovation possible from Apple - only hyperbole.

    Why?

    Because Apple is not a design company - they're a marketing powerhouse
    which "creates demand" just like Big Tobacco did with Virginia Slims.

    Gullible (but ignorant) women bought into the hype.
    Just as gullible (just as ignorant) Apple customers buy into the hype.

    Witness anything Alan Browne or Alan Baker or Jolly Roger says.

    As with how Big Soda created "New Coke!" because they were desperate for something "new and exciting" to revitalize their flagging profit margins
    in light of Pepsi competition, Apple is doing exactly the same things.

    The new iPhone is the old iPhone with meaningless nonsensical tweaks
    and a price tag that defies any semblance of reality (meaning that the
    typical Apple customer is about as gullible as a customer can be).

    Given Apple has a long sordid track record of being incompetent in both hardware and software design, this article says it best what Apple is.

    "They figured out who they really are - they're caretakers of the brand." https://www.britannica.com/topic/New-Coke

    The proof Apple is incompetent at software is the fact the iPhone is a toy operating system that not only can't do thousands of things every other operating system does, but it has two to three times the vulnerabilities
    and over ten times the number of exploits in the wild.

    The proof Apple is incompetent in hardware design is the fact that Apple
    has never designed a best-in-class IC in its history (and no, if you have
    to secretly throttle it, it's not best in class)...

    Plus, Apple can't even _integrate_ an existing modem into an IC (something
    many companies have long accomplished)... nor design their own 5G modem.
