The intriguing part to me is where he says "Devices shouldn't become outdated every year. They should evolve with you."
I'd love to see a strong effort toward this goal.
- translation: just like with iPhone, we plan on releasing a new phone every year so you spend more $$$chukkaphob
- true. that would be a new direction that would be welcome.sofakingback
- BUT. A lot of our consumer habits are deeply grounded on purchase gratification. Hence, its not much about the product and more about buying a new product.sofakingback
- The new MacBook Pro, is a perfect example of that. Little to no value for its target consumer, yet it was still purchased because it was new.sofakingback
- Google recently killed its project in that area: https://www.theverge…i_monk
- exactly. they don't get outdated, people just love buying new shit. Nothing wrong with that either, keeps the tech industry ticking fwd.inteliboy
- I sorta disagree. I feel like my phone falls apart before I'm ready to upgrade. And only assholes make a $800 device of fucking GLASS!monospaced
- I skip years when buying phones, but usually because the battery fails or it's taken insane damage from bullshit falls.monospaced
- Anyway, I just hope that perhaps this new thing is actually taking any of that into consideration And not just the same old shit.monospaced
- Its not. What about it makes you think it will? It's an $800 phone... when it gets old, you buy a new one. They would need a different product and approach.sofakingback
- Because of what he wrote, obviously.monospaced
- But the hardware or software doesn't back that up or show anything different to lead anyone to think this is any different than a typical phone. right?sofakingback
- or am I missing something? Maybe I don't understand whats different about it.sofakingback
