Why it necessary for this article to note all the Steve Jobs history? 

Over the past 5 years hasn't Tim Cook done enough/not enough to be evaluated on his own? 

Or, will everything Tim Cook be somehow posthumously credited to Steve Jobs into perpetuity???

Tim has overseen the best products Apple has ever released in its history, and made more money than anyone could have ever imagined.

The constant never ending comparison to Steve is for morons.

Uber has expressed a strong desire to adopt self-driving vehicles as soon as possible. Doing so will allow it to dramatically cut its biggest expense -- human workers, who need to be paid a reasonable wage.

Fucking disgrace.

Uber created an amazing job opportunity in the US and the only they are working on is how get rid of that rake in some more profit instead.

That's a pretty horrid analysis of the state of things.

In what way? Do you have an explanation or context for things you say (based on what you've said above), or do you simply put down whatever bombastic, stream-of-consciousness blather that comes to your mind?

Is this a joke? You reduce the entire complexity of sales and growth to "how the iPhone looks", and you want more detail from me? LOL

Given that the fact that "design similarity" matters fuck all to actual sales, of course they are going to call it iPhone 7.

From a PR standpoint it would be a fucking disaster to not call it iPhone 7. It would embolden the idiot media that have trying to detract from the product before it even exists.

iPhone
iPhone 3G
iPhone 3GS...

It would not be out of character for them to simply call it the iPhone 6GS...

Perhaps you should step back and calm down. 

There is no way to respond to this. If you believe this statement, we can't possibly discuss this.

iPhone 3G
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 4
iPhone 4S
iPhone 5
iPhone 5s
iPhone 6
iPhone 6s
iPhone ?

I'll give you one guess what comes next, and you can't use 6, G, or S, or E.

Perhaps you should step back and recalibrate your brain, which has been contaminated by junk media reporting. The entire idea that the iPhone has to look very different this generation to be considered new, and not iterative as a product on the whole, is an embarrassment to the people who have said it.

Apple's sales have fallen this year. So I am not sure of your categorical view that it ".. matters fuck all to actual sales."

That's a pretty horrid analysis of the state of things.
