Apple hasn't been perfect since Tim took the helm but I would agree with the article; overall they are doing well.

Oh, and they were perfect under Jobs? Deal with your Cook hatred.

Did he say he hated Cook? Was Jobs’ name even mentioned?  I must have missed that. 

Why are you such a dick at all times? You could just pass right on by, but instead actively choose to drop in and share your negative energy with everyone. You obviously have significant hate issues of your own to deal with. Try meditation. Or marijuana. 

I don’t see any hate there but “since Cook took the helm” has an implied Steve Jobs there and “doing well” is a rather extreme understatement. 

My, how people can read into things - anything to take a positive comment and make it negative. As usual @lkrupp is flying off the handle. I said 'since Cook took the helm' because that's what the article (and my comment) referenced - Apple since Tim Cook became CEO. Any reference to Steve Jobs is completely imagined and serves more to reveal people's own predispositions than anything else.

I’m going on the assumption that you meant it was me reading into things in this reply. I agreed with you that there was no hate in what you originally said but I thought your reasoning was weak. You originally stated that “Apple hasn’t been perfect since Tim Cook took over the helm” and further replied that you didn’t mention Steve Jobs. But you actually did imply Steve Jobs.  It’s the “since” part that gives away the meaning I’m taking from that statement as “since” implies “prior to” and prior to Tim Cook was Steve Jobs. Anyway, I hope this was helpful in your future engagements with others using the English language.  Oh, and Krupp has been rather dickish here of late, IMO.

Was a typical knee-jerk reaction from over-entitled people who can’t wait to check if the issue is actually something to worry about. 

It was Apple itself that told us that the year-old keyboard would not work with the new 12.9” iPad Pro. Not a “knee-jerk reaction” or “temper tantrum” at all — we were merely responding to what the company said. If Apple had said this up front instead — that the old keyboard will functionally work but may not close perfectly — we and many others would not have made a peep. 

You were responding to what Apple told you, not to An official Apple statement on this matter. I think this distinction is important. And it’s not a question as to the veracity of what you’ve said, it’s the fact that you went forward with unofficial word of mouth information to say Apple has burned some of their customers, which they didn’t. 

Yay! They’re resurrecting the AirPort product line! 

The Apple TV 4K is the third most used Apple device I have and it’s my only source of evening tv viewing. Given that I’ve decided to replace my current 4K with this new one. I’m looking at the upgraded specs and they’re enticing enough to make the switch. Specifically the hdmi spec upgrade gives me hope that it’ll reduce the occasional stutter I see. Also the increased CPU performance is an added plus. And *maybe* it’ll get a memory increase. Probably not but one can hope.
