Re: [iPad] Apple's Sad Transformation Into 'The American Samsung' - Forbes

 

Ouch :-)   We disagree, thats all good.

Ive been told here that I am critical of Apple. I take the view to praise or criticise as I see fit. Its not my opinion or a bias. But in this case, I feel the range is more complete, its not a rush to have a heap of models, to confuse everybody and to sell an extra device out of desperation, which is where I see Samsung. Some want a 4"phone, so lets make one, by taking what we have that is proven, and updating it. Expand the range a little, and it is just a little. It makes it more complete. There is no plastic fantastic, so they aren't all out, just expanding to garner some more sales. Im happy with that. Forbes's article was harsh, and using rhetoric such as recycling parts, sounds cheap. Forbes wants to foster a perception that Apple is going cheap. They are going for extra sales, and in todays market, reducing sales downturns.

I disagree David.

Its hard to create/invent/innovate when these devices are mature. So, they incrementally update. Its slow, but its not Apple, its the industry

Apple has gone from one phone, one tablet to a range of phones and tablets. Phone wise its only a less than a handful, 5SE, 6S, 6S Plus. A  very small; range, but 4", 4.7" 5.5" covers it all I feel

iPad wise the same. iPad. iPad Mini, iPad Pro, iPad Pro 9.7  Only 4 devices, all look the same, 3 sizes. The devices are still premium priced but there is a wider range, more buyers.

A still small, and select range that does cover many options

Watch Strap
The AW is still new, its able to support Apple's usual hype claims, and others duplicate Apple's presentation as well. No worse, and in fact better than ads on TV showing a cleaning agent turning a dirty mess of filth on glass, to a sheening bright and clear window in one easy wipe.

Just my 2c

Nope. The sad truth.

"And in a world where you get a huge cheer from an audience because you've announced a nylon watch strap… that's where you should be questioning both the audience's attitude and whoever decided to make that product one of the key moments."
