  • Editorial: Microsoft has learned some lessons from Apple, and that benefits us all

    Microsoft hasn’t done anything here. They showed prototypes. If they were really doing something, they would’ve announced order and ship dates. This is them gingerly dipping their toes in the water and if the water is too cold, they’ll never ship.
    Surface Pro X ships in November.
    Is the X in the product name supposed to be the letter x or the Roman numeral for 10?

    But, but, but...   What then will the NotcHeads have to complain about?

    The notch keeps them busy and out of trouble.

    #KeepTheNotch!
    You only see the notch complaints in forums like this one. In the real world no one cares and have adapted easily to it. But as you point out, the negative types will indeed find something else to complain about, probably about the lack of a notch then. Rest assured, they’ll find something to be unhappy, disappointed, disgruntled about.
    Agreed. The Apple detractors will simply move the goalposts.

    A thousand bucks is just too much for a phone. Count me out
    Cool, get the regular iPhone, $699. Oh but you waaaant the Pro. 
    Just wondering....are you working as a PR rep for Apple? People....check his threads....its ridiculous, he critisizes anyone who doesn't drink every ounce of cool aid that is poured by Apple.

    and as far as me "reading up" on Apple's history? Cmon man....

    iPhone 1 was REVOLUTIONARY
    iPhone 4 was REVOLUTIONARY
    iPhone 7 was arguably the best iPhone made
    Biometrics was REVOLUTIONARY 

    there were plenty of REVOLUTIONARY products released in the past 10 years so please show me a post where you don't defend anything that Apple shows you.

    BTW don't EVEN call me a troll, I love Apple and their products and their ecosystem BUT I will call out when something deserves a yawn.

    Apparently you won't
    Howdy, newbie. Nope, I don’t, and if you weren’t a drive-by-wonder, you’d know that already (I’m an enterprise software dev). As for my posts, I simply discuss the value of the tools I enjoy using. I often critique what I think are poorly reasoned opinions; aka whiners. Judging by my likes-to-posts ratio, people seem to like what I have to say. 

    Sounds like you’re new to Apple. Iterative product development is the name of their game. Gruber wrote about this almost a decade ago. Read up:


    ...It’s how we got from the original iPhone/Mac/Watch/whatever to the current versions, or iterations.
    The theory that you’re a kool-aid drinking sheep because you never criticize apple when they release incremental changes some years, and use that to conclude that this means Apple doesn’t innovate anymore Since Steve Died™️ is rather peculiar to me, and falls into what I consider the “doomed” troll narrative. They’ve raised the bar so Apple must produce something “revolutionary” on some regular schedule or else—what?

    The Watch is a failure and a piece of junk
    That sounds better in your head.

  • YouTuber reveals 'iPhone 11' models, claims few changes

    suddenly newtonsuddenly newton
    Does Apple do that? Hand out mock devices to case makers so that it can be leaked to YouTube influencers? Isn’t there a NDA or something?
