21 reasons Jonathan Ive should run Apple
Another kind of Apple genius
If anyone on Apple's current executive bench deserves credit for the company's long line of successful products, it's Jonathan, or "Jony," Ive. Since joining Apple in 1992, Ive's unmistakably clean, minimalist designs have been the stuff customers lust after and competitors emulate, from those first pastel-colored all-in-one iMacs to more recently, the 7.9-inch-sized iPad minis.

My 2011 imac got recalled because of a faulty HD.
After they replaced it, the fan sensor went berzerk.
I now have to use 3rd party software, to keep the noise under control.#firstworldproblems

I just heard about that iMac HD problem yesterday from our IT guy. Has Apple released any line of product in the last 7 years that doesn't have serious hardware problems that only become apparent after launch?
- Apple doesn't make HDsmonospaced
- <No but they used faulty seagate HDs in most of the late 2011 iMacs. And now they have to call them all back.Al_dizzle
- Are you saying Apple purposefully put bad HDs so that they'd have to recall them later?monospaced
- Yeah idiot statement.ArmandoEstrada
- Seriously. And I have several Macs that lasted more than 7 years each, none with ANY hardware problems.monospaced
- Nobody implied that they did it on purpose. That doesn't negate the fact that the shit happened.Al_dizzle
- are you implying that a under major callback like this, they should have zero accountability?Al_dizzle
- absolutely not! just saying that Apple doesn't make shitty products on purpose, as was implied by i_monkmonospaced

I don't I'd cite that whiny ego-wank attempt at creative writing as an indication that apple is done, personally, though I do think he managed (just about) to articulate some of the general feelings people have about the brand.
It had definitely become deeply uncool now. Ubiquity can never be edgy and alt. I bet there's more money it though.

absolutely not! just saying that Apple doesn't make shitty products on purpose, as was implied by i_monk
– monospacedWhere did I "imply" that their frequent hardware problems were intentional?
- You implied all their products have major hardware problems that we only know about AFTER launchmonospaced
- which, of course, is absolutely falsemonospaced
- False? So YOU'RE saying Apple knows about the problems before launch.i_monk
- And I didn't imply that, I stated it: they have hardware problems which only become apparent after launch.i_monk
- You're reading into it if you think I'm saying they KNOW these problems will turn up and don't care.i_monk
- got it, I must have misreadmonospaced

Real world - "The new iphone is crazy!" "Seen the new windows tablet? looks amazing!" "Damn that new imac is tiny!!"
Internet world - "This sux" "Apple are doomed" "What a piece of shit!" "Fuck android" "Fuck Apple" etc....

Apple aren't going anywhere for a long time but the sector is so fickle and so much competition with Android/Surface et all they are gonna lose dominance rapidly unless they come up with another excellently repackaged/marketed idea taken from somonee else soon.

It seems to me like they're constantly pumping out new products for the sake of their share holders.
- lol... when do you think that started?monospaced
- iPad mini?instrmntl
- they're just resizing everything, and not actually making anything new or different.CanHasQBN
- lol, since the day they went public and started trading stock, actually. Nice try, duders! :Dmonospaced
- They've ALWAYS changed form factors yearly. That's how they've ALWAYS worked.monospaced
- I feel like they're in a rut as far as making smt new, so they're releasing different versions of the same shit.instrmntl
- when have they not done this?monospaced
- their supposed to do thatmoldero

Anyone complaining here should just ditch Apple completely and go to the superior platforms: Windows 8 and Android. Then we don't have to hear the constant whining when you realized you wasted your money on polished turds in countless threads.
- I want quality over quantity. That doesn't mean I'm going to start using a PC.instrmntl
- but.. but... Apple isn't quality, everyone is saying they're SHIT, right? LOLmonospaced
- Just becoming arrogant, not necessarily shite..instrmntl
- haha, I'm being sarcastic man, Apple is ideal for my line of workmonospaced

1000 years?

It's one thing that QBN divides over political views, but this constant platform stuff is just juvenile. All platforms have merits, some suit some better than others, all the companies are faceless billion dollar conglomerates that make business decisions not user decisions.
It's plastic, glass, circuit boards and batteries. I'm all for opinions, but yours doesn't make another's invalid.
