I hope that's not a serious question. Safari frequently crashes on the iPad Air. And I'm being being kind to Apple when I use the word frequently.
The only place I ever get a crash on any of my iPads, iPad Air and others, is replying or editing on this very web site. Damn I jus got one! Apple. Insider need to fix their Fracking blog!
There was never an argument to make. No one ever said anything against it. Or maybe you meant:
Which is explicitly false, anyway. And the vice versa, which you also claimed. As is your theory (which is nothing more than one, mind) that:
Does Apple pay developers to make apps for their ecosystem? No. I can't become a developer and automatically get money from Apple. I have to spend my time and my money to make a app, and when my app is in the app store does Apple then automatically give me money? No. The app that I made has to sell. So which part is it where Apple made money for me. I made the money for myself and Apple.

I get it on this site all the time, but on others too. I don't get it when using other browsers. Damn Safari.
Ok I want your devices! Safari has crashed at least 5 times for me just this morning.
We have been using Apple products for over six years now in our house, using macs, iPods, iPads and iPhones. In all that time Safari hasn't crashed 5 times in total. Maybe you have a faulty device or need to free up some ram?
I do think that Apple is facing difficult times ahead though from products that are not as good as Apple products but are cheaper and good enough for most people's needs. I also think Google is going to face problems soon, especially in Europe where several countries are taking issue with Google's lack of respect to privacy.
And if Apple didn't provide the storefront, payment processing, servers, etc, Devs wouldn't be making the 70%
Why are you repeating what I replied to? The fact is that Apple needs devs and devs need Apple. If Apple made money for devs then they'd all be profitable but the truth is that the vast majority never break even. Apple could very easily allow the side loading of apps and not concern themselves with storage and transactions but then they'd miss out on all the money that the devs would make.
These articles are the worst type of tripe - anyone calling Google or Samsung's 2013 as failures instantly loses all credibility, as much as those who talk about Apple's demise. You should be able to talk objectively about performance without turning into a circle jerk.
Google's core business is obviously doing tremendously and their ability to monetize their users through advertising is ridiculous (2 to 3X times anyone else). Their Android strategy does seem haphazard at the moment, though they seem content enough to cast the widest net they can, even if it's on low end devices.
Samsung had a tremendously profitable year, closing the gap in profits to Apple in a way that was unfathomable 2 years ago. The S4 was a disappointment, though the Note 3 was excellent. The Q1 2014 release of the S5 along with a slew of new tablets should provide some guidance on how they will execute next year. They get about a half year of sole attention until the next major update to an iOS device.
Apple was Apple in that they innovated and executed tremendously in 2013 in their existing product segments. The biggest what if of 2013 is their lack of a larger screen device. Regardless of whether *you* want one, there clearly is enormous demand for a device and it's fair to think how much money they left on the table. They're in good shape, though it's unfortunate there isn't going to be much new in iOS until the summer.
Nice counter point, though I hope you're wrong about iOS. If nothing else Apple needs to release 7.1 to fix bugs, especially with Safari. Constant crashes and reloading of tabs is annoying to say the least and doesn't seem to fit Jony Ive's ethos about making the best possible products they can.
Turn off JavaScript for Safari in settings -- the crashes will go away...
Though, after the recent upgrade to iOS 7 I'm no longer having any crash problems with Safari.
Bravo, DED! Excellent article summarizing much of what was in the back of my head over the year. Given this is a grand game of chess, I can't help but think how many of these competitors have undergone a sobering review of their plans (in much the same way that you've performed the gap analysis) and adjusted their plans accordingly?

Well said. Wouldn't it be great to sit in just one of Tim Cook's executive meetings where he discusses Apple's long range plans?

In 2014 i think the most important people at Apple will be Jony Ive and Angela Ahrendts. I've creating lust worthy products and Ahrendts selling them. As the markets that Apple competes and become more and more commoditized fashion becomes ever more important. Of course having a platform that people want to develop for is super important too. But Apple can't really compete on pure hardware specs, so designing products that people lust after will be huge. Take the nMP. I've seen so many Twitter posts from people who say they don't need one but want one. 64-bit isn't sexy. Hearing Jony Ive in his English accent talking about highly polished diamond cut chamfered edges gets people every time. I hope Tim Cook ignores the calls to get into the low end. That would be disaster for Apple.

And Apple wouldn't make 30% if developers didn’t make apps for them.
I like your articles and just wanted to contribute a balanced view of the state of the news media in general with the following linked article:

Thanks for your efforts, your reputation as a writer is very valuable.
If you don't like then stop reading.

As to the article, I have a question for DED:
Did you get any on you?
The only thing terrible about 2013 is that we are subjected to DED dredge weekly. Please put this guy out to pasture.
Dude, get some sleep! And cheer the "f" up!
Happy New Year, I guess.
