Adobe, with Lightroom, Photoshop and a compliment of programs and apps has absolutely killed Apple in serving the professional photography market.  

I would like a refund for Aperture.

I got into bed with Adobe back in 1993 when I started publishing a specialist darkroom (remember those?) photo magazine, and must have spent upwards of three thousand dollars on their software since... only to be slapped in the face with their monthly-rental scheme last year which was an absolute no-no for me on principle! I continue to use Lightroom - which can still be purchased, unlike Adobe's other software - but I'm rapidly getting up to speed with "Affinity Photo" which is an amazing package. Affinity also have "Designer" with an "InDesign" style-package promised in beta at the end of this year... only for Macs, of course, and remarkably cheap at under $50 with free updates.

Snip "Cook's statement that record numbers of people are switching from Android to iOS is true ... but he fails to mention that even more people are switching from iOS to Android."

In 25 years of Apple use in the fields of publishing, photography, journalism and art, I have never known, met, or even heard of a single person - creative or otherwise - switching away from IOS, or any piece of Apple equipment, to any other system... it has always, and frequently, been the other way around. My finding is not from 'recent reports' but from personal and practical experience in the business over a quarter of a century!

Any thoughts on why they will need flexible screens? I just haven't seen a design that would make this a good thing as of yet. Thoughts???

Probably for all those 'couch-potatoes' who are forever sitting on their phones and cracking the screens!

Come on Ded, you're not supposed to kick a dog when they're down. Part 1 was good enough, do you have to keep piling it on?

I opened a nice Merlot to sip whilst reading parts 1 and 2... and thus enjoyed all three!
