I saw this video it was very funny I am an apple fan but the idea was really amazing

apple would be very smart if they were to bring woz back. they need a face and voice for the company. i think woz would be perfect. he really seems to understand the landscape as well.

that might truly make them an inovating company again, instead of a profit hungry one.

Not to mention he's just likeable. For everything Apple does that is arrogant, you just have this jolly engineer as the public face of the company.

you should watch apple's keynotes & see how many insult they gave to android & other competitors

M y niece an iPhone fanatic could not be told about any thing other than iPhone. That is until she played with my GS3 a few months ago, and after having the new iPhone for a week sent it back in exchange for the new in coming note 2.

I asked her what made her change her mind, and she said it was no different than her iPhone 4, and was boring when compared to my GS3. She said the note pen and stats were better spec'd than my GS3, and the "phablet" appealed to her more than the new iPhone.

The funny thing is that she said she liked how simple the iPhone was to use when compared to my GS3 and that it was her phone of choice since its introduction when she was playing with my GS3 back then.

She said the new iPhone fell behind Android based on the iPhone 5 functionality over all.

My best buddy has been team iPhone since the first one just yesterday j talked him out of the iPhone 5... he's jumping ship to the note 2 and he's unbelievably excited about it.

The sarcastic way of saying it:
"Apple arrogant? Noooooooo..........."
and you could than add "sarcasm" not to confuse 50% of the readers:)

Apple?.... arogant?? psst....Noo....lol

51. SonyXperiaNexus posted on 11 Oct 2012, 14:06 2

such a difference between the two, i agree.

54. thunder18 posted on 11 Oct 2012, 14:21 1

The main problem is Apple wouldn't be able to maximize profits if they made 2 sizes of phones. That would required 2 production lines and the amoun tof profit on each device would be lower. They are simply too concerned with profit margins. Conversely, every other phone maker's profits per device pale in comparison to iPhones, but there's a trade-off each way you look at it.

14. -box- posted on 11 Oct 2012, 10:18 2

Actually apple lumps all their iphone sales figures into one, they don't differentiate between OG, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, and 4Stretch, whereas other OEMs will, i.e. Galaxy S2 vs Galaxy S3, and then total sales figures for the entire Galaxy line

15. JeffdaBeat posted on 11 Oct 2012, 10:24 2

No they don't. Whenever Apple releases sales figures, they specify by model. Some news agencies may group them, but their quarterly earnings report breaks them up by model. The only time Apple lumps all models together for comparison is if they are talking about iOS adoption rates. In those cases they will say this is how many folks are on iOS 6 versus the latest version of Android.

44. darkkjedii posted on 11 Oct 2012, 12:43 1

U r wrong on that. Jeff is rite

21. roldefol posted on 11 Oct 2012, 10:51 3

Just watch, if they start to see iPhone sales significantly eroded by the SGS3, they'll come out with a 4.7" iPhone Plus and then claim it was their plan all along. It's already happening to the iPad.

25. Savage posted on 11 Oct 2012, 11:17 2

Galaxy S3 sales already boosted during Apple's troll-lawsuits took place.

30. roldefol posted on 11 Oct 2012, 11:27 3

Yeah, but that's relative to other Android devices. Apple has no incentive to change their strategy until someone seriously eats into their own sales.

You are wrong. "More choice" sucks.

And "One-size fits all" is right?

he said he would LIKE a bigger screen, not if it doesn't have a big screen I wont use it, therefore not a hypocrite

38. tedkord posted on 11 Oct 2012, 12:24 1

The name is honest tech genius. He recognizes a shortfall of the device, and unlike the lemmings that can't admit any faults of the iPhone, he talks about it.

I wish my SGS3 had a bigger battery, like the RAZR Maxx. That doesn't mean I can't use it.

45. darkkjedii posted on 11 Oct 2012, 12:46 1

I wish my ip5 had more widgets, was a little more customizable, and came in more colors. Great phone though, and I'm getting the note2

47. wassup posted on 11 Oct 2012, 13:07 1

then why did you get it?
widgets- apple is too far behind to add them.
customizable LOFreaking L
came in more colours- S3 or Lumia is your friend

I got it cuz I like the iPhone line, and this is by far the best of THAT line. I mentioned colors, cuz I like the colors of the new iPod line.

but answer this, just because you like a certain phone line doesnt mean you have to accept a disappointing phone just to stick to that line up.

why not buy something that offers more or keep the previous one. why accept a half hearted phone just to stick to apple

you cant use something and voice needs for improvements to it at the same time?

Your talking about the Woz, who buys pretty much every gadget that comes out and says something about it one way or another. Me thinks your fanboy tail feathers are just hurt because apple's co-creator said his own company is arrogant.

I think he would know a lot more about it than you, chickenhead.

52. gallitoking posted on 11 Oct 2012, 14:16 0

is not his company anymore.. why would he requeste a big screen when the market is flooded with big screens...let me tell you why.. he knows Apple is not repleaceble.. he wants the Apple logo on the back.. so is not just the big screen.. he also wants what all the haters want...

57. chaoticrazor posted on 11 Oct 2012, 14:37 3

ohh shut up you complete apple troll

Woz knows more then you will ever know, he's unbiased and see's things as what they are. he dont care about the logo if he did why would he bother with android etc. he'd be like you then stuck in an apple bubble thinking he has the greatest thing ever............

but no he isnt like you. apple is easily replaceable now, can you give anything that makes apple a needed presence in the phone world?

what are you talking about? Woz gives big props to other phone makers for things like BIGGER screens. Apple, just like every other company and person on the planet, is completely replaceable. They havent even been in the mobile scene for 7 years out of what.. 30? They are still a blip on the radar in the scheme of things. A big blip for a few years yea, but a blip non the less.

al i am saying if you like big screen on a phone then don look at Apple... is going to be hard for Apple to make big screens on their iphone because on how they sold everyone on the screen size and an Apple co founder should know this

Without that douche, Steve Jobs would have died a relatively successful used car salesman.

and without Steve Woz would be unknown douche

62. remixfa posted on 11 Oct 2012, 15:51 1

sure. Without steve to steal from xerox woz would probably have an untainted reputation.
