"Despite Apple being criticized recently for its lack of innovation, Apple also was on top of the list of companies admired for their innovation."

Someone please tell me what kind of sense this quote makes? As any company, their purpose is to turn a profit, and Apple definitely does that, and that would be the reason for the admiration in that regard. I get that. That said, wtf have they innovated lately? For example, Apple is a very capable company. Given that, why in the hell can't they make a phone that can do voice and data at the same time on Verizon or Sprint? Motorola, LG, HTC, Samsung, Pantech, Nokia, Casio, and more can make phones that can do both on Verizon and Sprint, but somehow Apple, who makes 1 phone a year, couldn't get this done? Innovation indeed.....smh

Apple is only admired in the U.S. and only because its a U.S company it was picked as the most admired. If Apple was a foreign company, Google would be #1. In the U.S Apple will never fall below #1

So why didn't they do a survey of average joe instead of snobby directors and uppetty executives? Majority of buyers are average people! (Blue collar or no collar)

White collar people will always try to associate them selves with anything considered to be classy or upscale to fit their image regardless if there is something better for the buck that is not upscale.

Just look at the specs and features on the luxury phones costing thousands...they suck but yet white collar clowns buy them cause it is upscale.

I admire how Apple can make so much money despite what I think of their product. I'm not into proprietary products when I have a choice to customize. I also don't like that most IOS apps are not free. Quality of the app may be better, but it should be if I'm expected to pay for it. Paying extra is NOT my idea of exclusive! Customizing is how I make my phone exclusive. Just my opinion, fell free to hate if my opinion bothers you.

Its gonna be hard for them to make it 7 in a row because samsung will beat them in their own game in their own style.
