"Microsoft did it already blah blah"
"Its already on Android since 2 years blah blah"Sorry but no one gave a shit when they came with those new technology, when Apple copy them, everyone (lots of people) care. So Apple have something the other dont have. Thats the game. Apple wins on that, so Microsoft and Android can invent all the new gadget and tech they want, Apple will always be more popular with them. The stronger win. And Apple is stronger. Accept it.
- They all copy, borrow and steal from one another. Though people get emotional with Apple for some reason.inteliboy
- Thats right. So 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.Ben99
- I find it amusing when grown adults even have the time to be so invested in a disposable consumer good.ETM
- If I catch myself do it I try remind myself I won't give a fuck about this [insert item] in a year. Wash, rinse, repeat.ETM
- Apple might not always have the most current everything but they rightly defined the major categories of the big ones. That's hard to do.monospaced
- "disposable consumer good"
ETM, arguing about which company is better is useless, but the technology itself is extremely important.Jaline - People are using this technology during all parts of their day.Jaline
- Tell me what one is REALLY doing so different from the others that it changes your life on a daily basis?ETM
- Browsing, email, phone calls, voicemail, apps, voice recognition, dictation, digital assistants... available everywhere by everyone.ETM

- I don't see Apple copying as the new gadgets use the same exact design language Apple is famous for.omg
- When Surface came out, you couldn't help but acknowledge that it was marketed to look exactly like an iPad, but with a keyboard.omg
- Nobody cares.docpoz
- Yup, it's all silly, but it gets tiring hearing how "revolutionary" or "innovative" Apple is. Good products, well made, leave it at that.formed

- You understand you're getting your pants in a twist over a consumer electronics brand, right Benfall? Do you also understand how ridiculous that looks?Continuity
- people get annoyed with Apple because of the way they market other peoples ideas in a smug / dishonest way.fadein11
- If you want to pay twice the price for the same technology in a handset that's twice as likely to break when dropped... Feel free! Hahaset
- I want apple to fuck me and my bank account till it bleeds! I'm not a fanboy though,
Trump2k16GeorgesIV - Benfall was just explaining how it works. Apple are better at branding and presenting a consistent unified vision of their productsyuekit
- this is a competitive mimicry and stagnation, like when honda rolled out the new insight and it was a prius with an H.garbage

Ipad pro is an oxymoron. I can see it now... People using their ipad pro while sitting in their stretch skoda, sipping healthy beer and getting wanked off by a classy prostitute.
- and listening to classic discoCyBrainX
- I'm ok with that if iPad pro is what I need.pango
- Doesn't sound too bad actuallyyuekit
- Perfect Friday nightset
- hear, heargarbage
- are they trying to kill the Mac and replace it with iGadgets? if you can do Photoshop and Lightroom and Edit Video on an iPad, mac sales may fall....vaxorcist
- That's why they don't put os on it.pango

Irony of the day... You can't view your iPhone videos in full res on your Apple TV
- or on your iPhone! or on most televisions out theremonospaced
- you're talking about 4k right?monospaced
- Sony Z5! ;-)formed
- Wow. so much for getting the new Apple TV. But if you really want to watch phone videos in 4k, there's always youtube.CyBrainX
- Hardly any 4k TVs out there.monospaced

So many poorly designed smart watches are coming out now.
Does Apple own the rectangular watch patents or something? No one seems to have the foresight to copy them. Circular is great for style, but rectangle / square is much better for interactivity, I believe. Compare notifications next time you're using differently shaped devices. I've noticed images and text are much better on a rectangular screen.
- Depends on if you care about having somethign that looks more like a watch. Personally, I won't wear a computer-looking thing on my wrist. But that's me.formed
- Pebble Time is square/rectangle just like the Apple Watch JalineBen99
- Pebble is such a different beast. I had one and barely used it. It's good for specific uses, but it's very limited. And doesn't work well with iOS.Jaline
- Pebble got a lot of things right, but they're for a different market. If you really want to compare, Pebble is falling behind.Jaline

currently got 4s.. battery life is less than a day at the moment, so 6s is definitely tempting..
anyone got the plus? are they are too big?
- As big as the new iPad?utopian
- 6+ better battery life than 6. Worth it.ArmandoEstrada
- I have a 6+— love it. Size takes about a day / two to get used to but is plenty small enough to fit into a pocket in a normal pair of levisPonyBoy
- Is battery life better on a 6s vs. a 4s? Mine 4s lasted days before I moved to a S5, which lasts about a day, give or take.formed
- 6+ doesn't fit in a pocket. It's too big.mg33
- Have the + and originally hated it, for about 2 weeks. Love it now. Feels weird to use a smaller iPhone.Mattjanz3n

most advanced apple product ever.. if there was a drinking game every time anyone said that during a keynote you would die from alcohol poisoning .. also its stating the fucking obvious.. its not like you are going to come out and say "here is our new iphone, its actually using older technology than the last one, but its bigger.."

- Gotta do it at some point if that's what people want.Jaline
- Tim Cook, 2012, about Surface “a compromised, confusing product.”formed
- Completely different. in 2007 a Stylus would only control the interface. This Pencil can do much more. You can draw precisely with it on a huge area.iCanHazQBN
- ...As a designer who sketches things all the time, I'd love to try it.iCanHazQBN
- a pencil used to draw vs a dumb stick stylus to do simple navigation on a iphone seems to be the most overlooked aspect here.omg

Anyone will jump on this:
'for $32 per month, you can lease an iPhone and then return it for a new model every single year. It also includes the AppleCare+ warranty from Apple'
- looks familiar...oh, right, all the carriers already have the same program...Apple Innovation!formed
- Yeah, except you get Applecare+ AND unlocked phone. Apple Win.ArmandoEstrada
- Almost $400 per year, ouchmonNom

Anyone pulling the trigger on the 6s? Might upgrade from a 5...
- on iphone 4, maybe.dorf
- i will. Contract end in a few weeks. I will upgrade from an iPhone 5Ben99
- Debating just replacing battery on my 5, it's my only real complaint.meatball
- sucks being on the "s" upgrade cycle. keeping my 5c which looks new and still holds a great chargefourth
- yeah my contract is up, i'm moving to giff gaff, 12 month contract instead of 24... bit more a month but its only a year.cruddlebub
- Xmas is the best time to sync up with your contract.horton

Apple just admitted Microsoft is right!
On Wednesday, Apple announced the iPad Pro, Apple's biggest, most powerful iPad that has an optional attachable keyboard and the new "Pencil" stylus.
Sound familiar?
- but like most things Apple, people jump up and down out the "new" features! Such innovation!formed
