Apple does not necessarily innovate (anymore) - rather, it is the PERCEIVED notion of quality perfectness and/or innovation that Apple instills in its customers. And they are very skillful at that. In this sense, that latest research on iPhone users is quite enlightening:

"3. Apple owns their entire system."
Apple has also become one of the most protective and closed companies I have ever seen. In comparison, Microsoft's behaviour is more akin to an open source company.

"4. Apple focuses on a select group of products."
Yes, although they are leaving the group of people whom Apple could rely on when things weren't so rosy-looking only a couple of years ago: designers. They are far more focused on products that possess mass appeal now, rather than any specific elitist group. Good or bad?

I used to be a huge fan of Apple. Until a couple of years ago, when the focus shifted to selling the same old empty designs again and again to the masses. In my opinion Apple lost its soul. Perhaps I just like small companies that actually innovate - Apple IS wearing no clothes; they just say they do, and the masses follow. They were innovative, alright: propaganda is innovation.

Lmao

Why would you waste your time out of your day to write all that? Do you really dislike Apple that much? Honestly lol, youre making a fool of yourself right now. All Dark said was that he was ready and excited. Did his admiration for Apple get you off that much lol? Something I noticed is that people who dont like Apple go so far out of their way to voice their hateful comments. Sure, a few words or sentences, but a whole novel? Honestly, no one really is impressioned by hate comments. Who are you to preach? On this site, you may be Arte, but in the real world, no one cares who you are and what you have to say. Not google, not apple, not microsoft, not the 10,000 random people that see you every day.

Pro Tip / TL;DR: All these Apple hateboys have no impact of Apples image, only their own image. Every time you hate, you showcase your faults. NOT a companies.

P.S. Reply all you want, I won't be following this Arte-icle.

Normally I'm always busy writing short paragraphs. Surely did take 15 miniutes, and using:! "':;/?)(+-*&%$#@~`|•√π×{}][=_>< and grammar and sentence that Darkkjedii points out.

What will the underage stalker reply to this?

He will say: ssshhhh, begone, troll, blablabla of topic nonsense.

20. darkkjedii (Posts: 25052; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

He'll say see post #12

Now forget about him, don't spoil your day

13. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)

Why waste your time reading,
then replying to it too?

You felt a tinge of hate,
an a correction just had to be made in this case?

I believe that's a half hearted copy an paste of someone's else thoughts honestly.

15. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)

Wrong

I spent 20 minutes of my time, like Sauce said.

17. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)

Ok then, curious what were points one and two about?

19. darkkjedii (Posts: 25052; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

Aftershock, I know we disagree a lot, but on this we totally agree dude. Arte cannot spell, nor can he punctuate. Someone surely wrote that for him, or as you said, and I also think, he stole it. That trolls dumb as a box of rocks. He didn't write that himself.

23. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)

Yes sadly android fans have become the ifans of old.
A few years ago when Apple had no rivals, their fans were out of control, since then the tides shifted and many of them vocal bugger's now are on android side and have helped to make it partially hated, just because.
That's why I was always picking on rodnjeye as I can't stand anyone claiming any Eco system is the ultimate or without peer as its simply not true, including my chosen android an Nexus line up.

This is not the time for my laundry list of why an why nots about each but more so a DMZ time to clear air some.
I enjoy fans wisdom from each system, but dislike dishonesty of not having one's own faults in their choices an tirades about them or the other systems.
I actually hope Apple makes a hot new seller to shake others up again, I'm thinking the next five years should be promising once everyone has gone 64.

Heck, Apple should make a Nexus to screw everyone up right.

No, it will never, ever be that bad...

The old i$heeps of yesteryear are CLEARLY in a league of their own. That will never be topped.

If Apple made a 5.5 inch Nexus phone I would buy it out of sheer curiosity and then sell it on eBay in a few months....

63. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)

From looks of things, they might be.

26. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)

Why don't you contribute rather than pointing out my errors?

It show's how weak your mentality is.

Lol

18. darkkjedii (Posts: 25052; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

He then puts LMAO, which clearly he isn't. Dude is such a fake, and he had someone type that for him, cuz he can't spell with spit. He's not fooling anyone, well maybe networkdood, but that's it.

22. Sauce (unregistered)

Lmao, "dumb as a box of rocks" had me loling at work. Almost made a commotion haha.

57. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)

He has every right to post here...unless you are the Nazi forum police? What is sad is people's attachments to corporations...look at you, Darkkjedi...middle aged and you still have not learned...now, that is sad....I feel bad for you...but, if that is what truly makes you happen, then I support you in your endeavours...

41. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)

Arte-icle LOL. Ignore that dumb.

12. darkkjedii (Posts: 25052; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

Go away TrollTM. Nothing to discuss with you.

16. mrblah (Posts: 577; Member since: 22 Jan 2013)

Troll alert, troll alert!

Go paint YOUR propaganda picture to some f*gdroids who will care or are naive enough to believe you.

24. techspace (Posts: 1036; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)

Seriously, what did you achieve by posting this?.....apple and apple users will not lose anything at all...
Please don't make android users look bad.....because of such comments people think that all android users hate apple...they are trolls etc etc.

27. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)

Yes, we all get painted with the same brush of stupid when posts like that are made without reason or merit.

Though in some non English cultures, to argue is to converse, I suspect dinner if that is at post here.

28. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)

Lol autocorrect fail.

I suspect that some of that is at play here.

33. darkkjedii (Posts: 25052; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

He proved just how much of a trouble making dumb a$$ he strives to be. Read post 14, what the heck does that even mean?

34. techspace (Posts: 1036; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)

Just ignore him,don't let him ruin your day.

38. darkkjedii (Posts: 25052; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

True.
