Mono, like I said, there's no specific date. A "date" is completely irrelevant and you requesting a *specific* date is stupid, and you know it. Moving on... ever since Steve left, they've been making some really crappy decisions. They climbed to the top on Steve's high standards, his ideas, and that momentum is why they are currently on top. This momentum still goes on, and didn't stop the instant Steve died (that's why it's called momentum). They're not going to fall overnight (I never said, or implied they they would). Did Apple pass Microsoft overnight? No. Took about a decade.
Can you tell me anything positive about this latest release? Besides an extra row of icons?
They got rid of an extremely useful Map app and replaced it with something that is unusable, unreliable, and was clearly not ready for release.
The brought in panorama shooting and sold it as if they were the first phone to have it, when they were the last.
They bought out Chomp and hired them on to screw up the app store. When you search, you have to sift through results one by one. And if you try to flick through them too fast, it becomes unresponsive. You have to wait for the sliding animation to completely stop before flicking to the next app. It literally takes ten times longer to find something than the previous store. Have you tried it? This will have a huge impact on app developers' ability to get their apps noticed and purchased.
Their UI is all over the place. They're changing things with no rhyme or reason. Before, the interfaces of a 10-digit pad were consistent (first two jpgs). Now there's a white dialer, with inconsistent colors and fonts. Everything they're doing now is disjointed.
Old ios 5 Dialer:
Passcode Entry:
New ios 6 Dialer:
And they can't decide what they want their interfaces to look like. Below are all sections of the same app. You've got screens with blue backgrounds, blue status bars, corduroy textures, rounded corners, and matte buttons. And then in the SAME app you've also got screens with blacks, grays and glossy buttons. How on Earth do the first two screenshots relate to the last two screenshots?? Again, this is the SAME app.
- New dialer looks shitty, IMOnikdaum
- A date or timeframe is not stupid and you know it.monospaced
- August 19, 2014. No wait, that IS stupid to set a specific date.ETM
- mono, you want me to pick out a date out of thin air when Apple will fall? You're a moron.CanHasQBN
- A date has nothing to do with my opinion.CanHasQBN
- People foresaw the fall of Pontiac, but nobody ever claimed to know an exact "date"...CanHasQBN
