  • Apple stock posts longest losing streak in 18 years

    Apple have made huge mistakes lately. Just to name a few:
    a) iPhone SE should have looked similar to iPhone 6 series and be named iPhone 6s mini. It does not matter if iPhone 6 version is more or less beautiful that 4-5 series, but if you want someone to get a new phone, he has to feel it is new. Faster is not enough.
    b) MacBook should have more than one port and at least one usb 3.5 port. And it's price should have been around 600 and not 1500. They made the same mistake with MacBook Air and they lost a year and a half until they understood MacBook Air should be cheapper than MacBooks and not the other way around.
    c) iPad Pro/IOS 9  multitasking is unusable for real work. It simply does not deliver real multitasking. You cannot even put a video or audio and change to another app (a game, for example). Worthless.
    d) MacBooks need desperately a re stiling. They all look the same. It never minds if that is "the best" look. It minds that you are going to pay 2500 for a machine that looks exactly like all others and looks exactly like the one you bought 8 years ago. Slimmer, yes. Slightly faster. But the same.
    e) iWatch should be independent from the phone. Most of the info they need could be obtained through normal connection with the cloud through Wifi or TCP over Bluetooth. An API should be made public for programers to make iPhone/Android apps.
    f) 17 inches MacBooks should have never disappeared. In fact I'd bet 18-19 inches macbooks would have a market too. Some people don't move their machines around too often or don't wanna use a second screen to do professional stuff. And there is people that simply wanna feel their machine looks like the 4000 they spent on it.
    g) Mac Pro prices are ridiculously high. When people spent that huge amount of money on Mac Pros on the past, they knew they would be able to upgrade them. Put 4 HDD, a new graphics card, a USB 5 card, audio or video cards, midi,... That is why they bought so huge machines. Mac Pro will not upgrade easily.
    h) There should definitely be something between Mac minis and Mac Pros. Again, it does not matter if Mac Mini is good enough as a workstation or if you can buy an iMac. In lots of professional scenarios you cannot through away your expensive monitors and you cannot afford spending 4000 in a Mac Pro. In fact what would make more sense is that actual Mac Pros were around 1200 and real big box ventilated old Mac Pros were again the ones with little car prices.
