So I guess in your eyes its perfectly okay for Apple to continuously release nothing from January-September and then in Oct, release everything they've been working on?
Yep.
Because I’m 100% certain that Apple Inc. knows more about what it is doing than you do.
…you have to release things throughout the year.
Obviously you don’t, since Apple isn’t.
Not everyone is going to wait until Oct to buy the next iPhone…
Yes. They are. Because iPhones have always been released one per year.
Some will just say screw it and either buy the current Apple product…
So then they buy an Apple product. Apple’s supposed to not want that?
…or buy the next best thing…
Anyone who knows to wait–or knows about waiting–isn’t stupid enough to do that.
(or something better than what Apple offers)
*snort*
…because they don’t want to always wait until the end of the year.
So, again, they buy a current Apple product instead. This is somehow bad for Apple?
Fair enough. It certainly depends how we classify success. If selling less units than even AppleTV is considered successful, then sure, certainly. I still don't think there was anything innovative about ChromeCast. It didn't offer anything new or anything we didn't see before, it was simply Google's own solution at streaming device content to a TV screen. It isn't even out long enough to judge whether it will have any impact on the industry, hence I believe it is wrong to call a new product innovative, before we even know its impact.
Just because something is not successful does not mean you can discount the hard hard work that people put into it. Many great inventions may fell and someone else will comeback and barrow that idea.
Second how do you know the apple TV sold more then the Chromecast. I am really curious I have yet to see sales figures
But hey if Apple buys Beats it will jump back to number one in no time! :rolleyes:
I just saw a story in the London Telegraph newspaper that Apple has fallen out or the top 10 in a survey of favorite retailers. Last year they topped the list. I saw another story that Samsung overtook Apple in the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) for smartphones. Apple has topped this list for at least the past 3 years.
This is what happens when you go silent for 6+ months at a time. You basically create a vacuum, a void that others fill. You allow someone else to create the narrative. Perception then becomes reality. I'll never understand the thinking behind these long bouts of complete silence. I'm sick of other companies making news. I want Apple to be making news (and not over some stupid Beats acquisition).
What if Apple will release new products when they are ready to be released? Did that ever cross your mind? No, it probably did not.
They say its worldwide value. But the 2nd biggest market in the world (China) does not even allow Google to be accessed. Total BS.
Really? I thought Google caved years ago and allowed the Chinese gov't to censor search results thereby allowing Google a presence in China. For awhile they put a message on their site informing users that the results were being censored, but even that eventually got removed. Did Google reverse policy and start standing up against Chinese censorship again?
So I guess in your eyes its perfectly okay for Apple to continuously release nothing from January-September and then in Oct, release everything they've been working on? I do realize things take time and you want to get it mostly right from the start but you have to release things throughout the year. Not everyone is going to wait until Oct to buy the next iPhone, or whatever other thing they're looking to get. Some will just say screw it and either buy the current Apple product, or buy the next best thing (or something better than what Apple offers) because they don't want to always wait until the end of the year.
“You have to release things throughout the year”
No, you don't.
“Either buy the current Apple product, or buy the next best thing”
Those who care enough will wait, but most people buy a new phone/tablet/computer when they need/want/can afford one.

For the umpteenth time my question is why new products only seem to be ready in September and October. Though rumors are new hardware is coming at WWDC so maybe that pattern will finally change.

Um. Because they plan to release product for the all important Holiday qtr.

Or they lose out on the sale altogether because they bought something else not Apple because something new came out from a competing company thats better in their eyes.
And thats fine and dandy, but what about the other 11 months out of the year?
You mean Apple stopped selling products the rest of the year? Strangely I read Apple sold a record number of iPhones for a March qtr. must be just spin, right.

Somewhat related: Google does unique and creative little links above the search box each day, Underneath today's is a shortcut to "50 things you didn't know you could do with Google". One that caught my eye right away was recalling a sent email. There's been a few times that would have been useful.

Yup. What was their methodology.
So the only important time to release new products is 4th quarter? Mother's Day, Father's Day, graduation, back to school, etc. aren't times people would want to buy new products? Isn't Apple basically creating a very predictable release schedule?

Google sales: Have stopped growing.
Google hardware: Everything has flopped except Chromecast.
Google income: Ads.
Google value to the public: Maps, Android, Search.
The world's top brand?
Meh.
Product cycles?

other people are spewing this crap. But reading the Yahoo comments, they aren't convinced either.

Apple sells more than just iPhones...remember?
Not seeing what your point. Did they stop selling non iPhones the rest of the year?

Something they stole before they stopped paying licensing for ActiveSync and broke their shitty Gmail.
Glad I got rid of the subpar experience Gmail became.
Moved back to my 16 year old yahoo address and life continues.
Thanks gatorguy for helping me decide to dump ALL things Google.
Apple will never allow "Custer's Revenge" on The App Store
Lol!, i really hope your wrong
