What I actually said was "Reminds me of the Cool Wall on Top Gear (sorry you probably won't get the reference outside the UK). The Porsche is seriously uncool. They should look towards the new MIni for a cool car influence. The Porsche is Pam Anderson - old, tarty and vulger but you'd probably still go for a ride given the chance. The Mini is Emma Watson - young, hip, trendy and very desirable."

In other words I think the Porsche is seriously uncool. Me not Top Gear. I can't remember where Clarkson put it, I'm not the memory man. I was expressing my view. My own cool wall so to speak. I didn't say "Top Gear thinks the Porsche is uncool".

I thought it was going to be redesigned...so much for innovation

I like the idea of a three phone line up. That is an iPhone Maxi, Midi and Mini. The Midi would amount to the current 4S class machines. This would cover just about every users and would more effectively take on or over for iPod slack.

Maybe as prototypes for testing to see if a bigger screen changes it functionality. And I can assure you that LTE will be in the ONE prototype Apple decides to go with. Just look at the Samsung model in the commercial of a jogger. The thing is ridiculously hugh and awkward. Nothing a real jogger would ever use to run with, especially since they could buy a clip on iPod to jog with.

Amused by the parade of faux angst about how uncompetitive or disappointing the next iPhone is going to be from people who weren't going to buy one in the first place.

Of course it doesn't animate. Thanks, Huddler.

This statement (and all variations thereof) needs to be infraction-worthy.

Genetically, modern humans are unchanged compared to humans from 20,000 years ago. It is all about the software revisions. Stay tuned.

Not that I have a problem with that. Eventually there will be convergence. Years ago when the first Glock pistol appeared on the market their advertisements claimed "someday all handguns will be this good." Years later, other handgun manufacturers caught up because the Glock design (and technology) was the best.

Glock is, and always will be, garbage compared to Walther.

Apple missed nothing but the insane estimates by idiot analysts.  They exceeded their own estimates.  Now let's see how badly they did.   They beat the same quarter previous year by only $6.4 BILLION DOLLARS of revenue and they beat the same quarter previous year by $1.5 BILLION in earnings.   Boo hoo.   Apple is failing.    Most companies would kill to have revenue equivalent to Apple's year over year increase.    Apple is the only company whose stock drops when they beat the same quarter previous year by $6.4 billion.      Do you think that expectations have become insane?    The world is still in a sucky economy.  Imagine Apple's performance if the world economy was healthy.    

Don't don't don't believe the hype!

I think it's safe to say that people don't want to drag their finger around their screen and then look around their fat finger to select an app to use. They simply just want to tap it like they would any other button in the real world. How would you then select it? Is it selected when you release your finger, do you have to hold your finger over it longer to get to open, or do you have to release and then quickly re-tap it as retains its magnification? How would you then un-choose something so it doesn't launch the app; move your finger to the empty "desktop"? I don't get this at all. The way Apple design their UI actions is the reason it's a success, the reason why it's vaulted above all others, the reason everyone else has copied it, and the reason why the anti-Apple trolls scour Apple forums, not in spite of. They didn't use Mac OS X because they couldn't, they didn't use it because they shouldn't.

Once again, making assumptions out of a comment regarding changing a UI that has been unchanged for 6 years. You don't make any mention to my comment about using the iPads screen real-estate to improve any aspect of the UI. For someone who can sit behind a computer and be a cynical wise ass with your over 6,000 random forum posts is really an achievement all on its on. But back to the debate. You seem like a semi intelligent individual, rather then attacking a simple comment, why not think outside the box. Lets argue you run your finger along the bottom where your current dock is located (not all your apps, which I never stated). They magnify, hence resolving the problem your "fat fingers". Again, probably from polishing off bags of Cheetos and typing so many posts. Then doing a simple gesture of flicking the app up, opening the app. Lets then take it another step and do a double tap of your home button, rather then bring up your nifty Fast App Switching feature, it will impose the app in a suspended state, almost as if it is floating on the "desktop" (think Palm WebOS), where at that point you can flick the opened app up again, closing the app. Swiping left or right shows you more apps or a widget screen. 

What I'm doing here is thinking, brainstorming and envisioning of other ways iOS can be ran. What you do is act all tough behind your Cheetos crumb colored keyboard and make generalized statements because you aren't keen enough to think outside the box of Apple. And again, you don't have to get anything. Because in all honesty, you probably never will. Apple didn't "vault" over anyone or anything. They were the first on the block and have held the gold medal since day one. There lies the problem, no competition. Which brings us to this argument. They didn't use Mac OS X, very good little one, but at what point did I say they should have or asked why they didn't? 

Finally, if you're throwing an "anti-Apple troll" comment my way, I'll repeat myself from earlier, calm yourself. While standing next to my iPod Hi-Fi (which you weren't even a member of this site when it was introduced) along with all my other gear, you have nothing to stand on with that argument. 

I've been a member longer then you, this being myyyy 43 post? Maybe. If you get off at trolling these sites to make yourself feel important and try to attack the seemingly weak (TheKid2020 with only 40 something posts over 5 years), then you sir are a loser.

You know that the last project that Steve was actively working on was this year's release of the iPhone?

Not my ideas. Not my opinions. You attacked me. I won't report you because it's all pretty pathetic and childish but you aren't making your case any better by claiming I eat Cheeros and wasn't signed up to AI when the iPod Hi-Fi was announced.

You can be quite intense, and rub people the wrong way. I don't blame him, to some extent, though of course forum discipline may have to be enforced.

Correction, this is my 43rd post.

haha, this is a forum folks. If I must be disciplined then so be it. Don't do me any favors by not "reporting me", clearly I have a slightly more active life then trolling these forums and high-fiving myself when I reach my milestone of 50 posts. 

I made an argument to change the UI, then threw in an IDEA of a magnified dock. Maybe because as I type my replies I see my dock magnifying and simply have something to argue about. You, by the way you assume, question and act as if you are superior to many forum participants is frankly embarrassing. Once again, you are on a Mac forum. Cheers to you for being "the man" of the forum.

Pretty sure I did give you some logical ways of use my magnifying dock theory and referenced other formed mobile OSs to stress my point. Other then attacking other people posting and giving their valid opinion, I don't see you adding anything positive to this discussion. You aren't going out on a limb and making comments as I did. You simply pounced on my comment and began assuming, attacking and belittling my thought process because in your mind, nothing can be better then what you hold in your hand. Alright I may have attacked you, so be it. I'm sure you've had worse written about you on the internet. But you can't argue that I am that far off on my assumptions of you. So much so that other people are agreeing with me, Pal. 

I have a hypothesis I want to share with you. It is still unknown whether Apple will announce iPad 4 this fall or in 2013. I think, if this new iPhone is real and has the new dock connector, then the refreshed iPad has to be released alongside this new iPhone. Otherwise Apple will have two connectors and it will damage the iPad sales, because people won't be buying a device with a deprecated docking port. What do you think?
