"Some of the innovation that is being launched by Apple today is quite amazing. " What innovation? What have apple invented? They make well-manufactured products. But at the price they charge that should be a given. | |||

" What innovation? " Exactly, I'm lead to believe that most of their software and hardware "innovation" is bought in from 3rd parties that they swallow up. The designed in California thingy on the back should read "Cleverly Procured...." Still, the end product is well sexy! | |||

"I was never an Apple fan boy but I converted and haven't used an Android device ever. Contemplating it as my update is due in October. I don't feel the need to update every time a new product comes out but I love each of my Apple devices. Slating them for no reason strikes me as bitter" Argh the old fan boy defence.... "You're only jealous" | |||

Bitter that people have got phones with better cameras, better apps, don't pay through the nose for everything, don't have chargers that break every 6 months, or a battery that runs out in a few hours... And for half the contract of an iPhone. 6 years ive stuck it out hoping things would improve with each new release. Ive heard the 6 is a bit better but it's huge! Ive got little hands and want a phone that fits in my jeans pocket not one that needs a handbag!! | |||

Even one of the founders of Apple said they are lagging behind, add to that the Android OS is far better than iPhone OS they have to come up with gimmicks. Look at sales of Apple, well down on other devices | |||

"Apple make nice gadgets and market them very well. Don't understand fashion, so don't understand the appeal of style over substance. The insistence on having their own adapter instead of USB and changing the iPhone adapter making all those iPhone devices useless sums apple up for me. " Nail on head......they market their products very well with big launches, then the tech experts walk away thinking...."Have they released something we have not seen before" | |||

"You're only jealous" " I said for no reason. Didn't speak for Apples plus or minus points as I don't know enough about them in comparison. You've implied a lot it seems. From my experience a lot of the criticism is from people who don't use Apple devices or have for very short periods of time. Clearly not the case in ALL scenarios before you jump on that I'm also not a fan boy. as I said I didn't use Apple for a long time as I wasn't convinced and my Windows phone did me well. I'm after a new MP3 player im looking at a range of Sony models as I don't see the benefit in just getting a 32gb iPod. Hardly strikes me as a fan boy or Mr all things Apple | |||

The ipencil is far more than just a stylus. As for sales - you must be looking at different figures | |||

"So far.... The ipad pro has been announced, with a 12.9” screen. The width of the Pro is the same as the height of the Air. It has an A9X chip, 1.8 times faster thank the iPad Air 2. Its screen is 2732x2048 pixels and the body is 6.9mm thick and it weighs 1.57lb. Apple says the battery will last 10hrs. The iPad Pro will be usable with the Apple Pencil. The pencil is powered, so will need recharging. " Ah like the Samsung Note 12 and its S-Pen released last year. Of course the Apple one will probably sell more. | |||

"Like em or loathe them, Apple have revolutionised modern life and should be applauded for their innovation. But then again all apple products are crap or shit according to a few world renowned tech experts on here. I wouldn't mind selling 250 million shit phones that's for sure " That doesn't mean their products are great just that they're great at marketing their products | |||

Sure they did a better job at marketing and locking down their platform but they've not innovated in a long time: iPhone - I had a palm pilot with GSM back that did PDA and phone many years before that came out. OK it wasn't a single unit but worked well and the battery lasted... Apple watch - droid ones have been around for a couple years or so... Apple-pay - well they're 2 years behind the curve on that one, at least... Wonder if their next "revolutionary" step will be wireless charging | |||

Although it's interesting to note that no-one has been able to even come close to producing better hardware than Apple, even with Apple there for them to rip off...so you have to assume that they would not have been quite so interested in improving things, left to their own (ho ho) devices. | |||

"Android came along a couple of months later than the first iPhone but allowed people to write their own apps. It took apple a good couple of years to allow that. " Not sure what your point is here, but it does reveal quite a bit about the excellence of Apple hardware. The HTC Dream was the first Android smartphone released. It was released some 3 months after the second iPhone, the 3G. Which itself came a year after the first iPhone. Now, if you can believe it, there are still people out there using the 3G and 3GS today. Think you'd be lucky to have found anyone using the Dream even a year after it was released. | |||
