- Stylus =\ Phone
Stylus = Tablet (Wacom anyone)
I actually can't wait. I see this as my primary working machine.kona - I sketch a ton. I whiteboard a ton. I can see me using this all the time.kona
- but the iPad Pro isn't force sensitive. 3D touch thingy. Or i miss that part if it is.Ben99
- Regardless. That stupid pencil is force sensitive.pango

Apple wins because they do something others still can't seem to grasp: they approach personal tech industry as what it is: fashion industry.
They sell hi-tech fashion accessories announced by their fashion dictator on hyped up seasonal fashion shows packed with fashion and gossip reporters. Then they have celebrities parade with their wares everywhere.
- Yup. No different to paying £2000 for a leather jacket from Gucci when you could buy an equally nice, if not nicer jacket, elsewhere for £200.set
- ...and the £200 jacket will be perfectly stitched but its cheap zipper sliders and snaps will make it look cheap, as is the case with 95% of jackets out there.raf
- ...the sleeves will be made from leather pieces stitched together at elbow because it's cheaper unlike the single-leather piece sleeve.raf
- Utter nonsense.set
- My point was that you can find something absolutely and utterly equal if not better, simply because it doesn't have the brand name and price attached.set
- absolutly, can't believe people don't know that the €2000 gucci back isn't worth 2k, isn't even made by artisan anymore and will degrade at the same speedGeorgesIV
- zactlyBen99
- as the €200 euro bag, but douche be douche, so they'll buy the 2k bag believing for status symbol.GeorgesIV
- Yet somehow, 95% of leather jackets look cheapish and when you see a pricier one on someone, you instantly know it.raf
- 2K example is entirely diff segment, Apple stuff isn't 10x pricier. Apple isn't luxury, they aim at the premium range: costlier, but accessible.raf
- Well you're right the price comparison isn't exactly appropriate. Still, people pay more money for a lesser product simply because it's apple...set
- I think we basically all agreeset
- Only for iphones though. Macs are still the best out there and iPads, while not as nice as Sony tablets, imo, still have the best apps.set
- I used to love the black ipad mini, just bought a new one (3) and it's tacky as fuck. It has a chrome border around the screen, looks cheap as shit.set
- Well around the edge, not the screen, as seen here...
https://cdn.shopify.…set - Show me that lesser product. BTW, I couldn't find a Win equivalent of my MB Air for 2 years and available competition weren't any cheaper.raf
- The more expensive lesser product is the iphone. As stated above macs are unfortunately still the best out there.set
- They know ppl associate bling w/ value, hence the dreaded glossy iMacs. iPods had mirror-like backs, easily scratched, made you care for 'em. Fashion.raf
- iPhone is top shelf. There's always a Sony with a better camera 10% less, or a HTC 25% less. It's not a spec chart race, it's a sales+loyalty(future sales) raceraf

samsung, LG, sony, whoever the fuck = release new product, hype the shit out of it, say it's incredible, have obnoxious advertising with perfect beautiful people models... no one bats an eye.
apple do the same... this thread has 1k posts.
I'm with Benfall... love or hate, they reign king for a reason. And that is interesting, worth thinking about... especially if all us idiots in qbn work in design/advertising in some shape or form.

and by the way, Apple never said "We invented this or that" ... they copy, we know it, they know it. They just release it and people likes it and talks about it more than if it was Microsoft or Android.
thats it, again
- some are in for the technology because we llike to use it push real innovation, other like to wait to have innovation pushed on themselves,GeorgesIV
- push the technology on me please, i'm too lazy to go get it myself ;)Ben99

- erm - they just release products to people who don't know better pretending they are the 1st - its the marketing that winds people up.fadein11
- Apple isn't pretending they're first thoughmonospaced

Like i've said in a side comment earlier, we can say wathever we want, Apple wins in the end. Its a business game and they're better than the other. End of the story.
They may copy other's technology but people seems to care more when its Apple releasing it. So what? What does it mean? Thats means Apple is better than the other at the business game and their corporate identity/attachement/marketing is stronger and better. That's it.
People tend to forget it's a business game, lots of money involved.
''Steve would have never accept this'' ''Steve said a stylus was lame'' ... Only the fools doesn't change their mind, first, and breaking news, Steve is dead. He's not there anymore, Apple can do whatever they want, Steve doesn't exist anymore, he can't help them.

- Stave changed his mind too. Sometimes in the week between inventing new gadgets.monospaced
- Steve lives in suspended animation under the new campus, ready to awake like Akira and destroy the world.face_melter
- He is probably cryogenically frozen somewhere, who wouldn't do it if you had billions to spend.yuekit

This keynote shows once again that the appl crowd really doesn't care about INNOVATION,
they pretend to like it, but will gloss over all the innovative things their competitor do or release, they will label it as gimmick, not usefull, retarded,
but a couple years down the line when Tim comes out and present them with a 100$ pen and 4k recording or all the bs they've been lagging behind, they'll still justify it as brand new, innovative, (insert buzzword here)
but they love technology, it seems but only when apple does it,
let's make a bet, how long do you think it will take apple to have a 8k recording capability, nfc, wireless charging, true multitasking?
seriously, I watched the keynote and cringed hard as fuck when peeps where clapping for every asinine INNOVATIONS that aren't,

Steve Jobs is dead and he would probably have become lame like any other creator. Stop relying on the past, we're in the present.

Boooooring.
As a creative person I can't wait to use iPad Pro After Effects, in the 7 minutes we'll get before the battery dies. And the 'Jony' intro video reminds me of Marks and Sparks food porn ads from 10 years ago.
I'll probably have one before Christmas.

Apple is a very functional company. Innovative? Hardly.
They miss Steve Jobs.

The monthly payment thingy seems to be for other products...
'teresting...
''monthly payment plan with PayPal Credit''
check this page to calculate your payment: http://www.apple.com/shop/paymen…
- But at 12.99% you might as well use your credit card.ETM
- Thats not the same program. Its supposed to be rolled out soon but no info yet (except $XX per month on the iPhone config page in the store)2002
- Supposed to give details about including Apple Care and 1 year phone upgrade / swap2002
- Ahh. Just commenting on the details in the posted URL.ETM
- Better: buy iPhone at full price, sell a year later for 2/3 of original price, buy new.shaft
