I think the iPhone will be a huge hit, again. Simply due to the fact that they are the only ones making (HTC, maybe) a phone with quality materials.
I hope I am wrong and we get some quality handsets, but I've been hugely disappointed with the S5 and LG's G3, both feel like crappy pieces of plastic, imho.
That said, Google's L looks to [finally] put Android's design above Apples. Combine that w/ quality materials and i'll jump, combine it with cheap plastic and I'll think hard about it. I doubt I'll be the only one.
- I'm probably too used tot he heft of the 4s, though, but I do like metal/quality materialsformed

I've maintained Apple died with Steve Jobs and this proves it...
Lame
- not only that, but they ripped everyone off. Ripped off J Dilla. Ripped of RTJfuturemongolian
- yeah, Steve singlehandedly created all the advertising on his own on Tuesdays, every weekmonospaced
- I agree the ad sucks, but it ain't the life or death of Apple, not by a long shotmonospaced
- < well Apple never had shit ads before. theres a shit one on TV in UK here as well - they have become very cringeyfadein11
- corporate logos on logos yay!Weyland
- Oh just shut up mono you utter twat. You don't think he had final say in the major brand decisions?set
- For someone who writes rather eloquently you really are bonkersset
- I know he was involved, I'm JUST saying that the advertising isn't the lifesource of Applemonospaced
- you don't have to call me an utter twat, my point is entirely validmonospaced
- you should take my eloquence as some sort of intelligence... I'm not being bonkers, it's just a commercialmonospaced
- It's just the same shit over and over and over with you. It's weird.set
- And what you are saying about the ads is the same old shit, day after day as well. It goes both ways. Love you.monospaced
- I'm not just talking about the ad..set
- People cry Apple's dying over the tiniest thing, but they aren't. It's tireless as well.monospaced
- I'm not talking about the ad either, just in this case.monospaced
- I guess you have a point. Though I'm not blindly focused one way or the other like you. I used to really like Apple.set
- ...and I still love my iMac. The future of their desktops worries me though.set
- I'm not blindly focused, but I keep on eye on what's going on with them, because these are interesting timesmonospaced
- I wouldn't call you a twat for making a point, btw, and I thought you were into a healthy discussionmonospaced
- I like my Apple products, they ain't perfect, and these ads suck. But people don't buy on the ads really, in my opinion.monospaced
- You are massive twat mono, I can't deny it. A big lovely massive bonkers twat.set
- let me know when Apple's dead then, next time with actual proofmonospaced
- sorry we had to engage like this ending with your cuntlery :(monospaced
- well Apple lead the way in design for a long time, now everything they've released in the last few years has been poor quality.set
- I don't doubt wankers will still buy their products but for me it apparently died with steve jobs as the design king it was.set
- He had good vision. But Ive did most of the design with his team too. And they had several years between breakthrough productsmonospaced
- Everything they've output since he died has been questionable. Just my observation. You don't agree.. fine.set
- I don't fully disagree! I just don't agree it means they're dead, that's all.monospaced

first iWatch will be awesome!
then, Apple will come up with the 'iWatch 2' six months later with a feature you badly want.
you will regret your iWatch1 and will want iWatch2
and the cycle will never end
- yeah, because only Apple updates its products with new featuresmonospaced
- HAHA why the fuck are you so utterly and bizarrely defensive of Apple mono? It's weird.set
- I think what's utterly bizarre is the double standard people hold Apple tomonospaced
- You might see it as defensive, but I see it more as realisticmonospaced

Guess who's not paying taxes?
Some of the world's most well-known companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Boots and Starbucks have become successful partly by convincing us through their products that their corporate values align with consumers' personal values.
But what happens when these companies behave in ways that seem to betray our trust? What if you find out that these companies keep their huge profits offshore and out of reach of domestic tax authorities?
Will people challenge them -- "You want to change the world and have us pick up the tab?" Yes, people are voicing their discontent. At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, protesters loudly criticized Apple for keeping $54.4 billion offshore to avoid paying U.S. corporate taxes.

Apple should achieve something thats not product oriented.

The band of the iWatch will have to be replaceable with third-party bands. In order to have the huge secondary market just like cases.
Different colors, materials, styles, gender specific, etc.

It doesn't matter what they do, people on the internet will still hate Apple.
- yeah but why? we used to love themhans_glib
- nothing has happened. people hated the ipod, the ipad, and macs in the 80's/90's.inteliboy
- hated them so much that they bought enough to allow them each to dominatemonospaced
- oh... hahamonospaced
- No they didn'teoin
- they are popular. thats why. like an indie band that become big.benfal99
- People hate Apple now because they have become Goliath. David is dead.utopian
- Apple wasn't popular when the iPhone came out. In fact, most people said it was a stupid idea. Same with iPod.monospaced
- so, popularity didn't cause the buys, it was the fact that they had superior products that were useful and well designedmonospaced
- mono is right. look up forums, even apple rumor fan sites, when these products came out - lots of whining.inteliboy

iWant an iWatch. All my money belongs to Apple.

Then with watches, there is another problem; Apple makes luxury or at least premium products. A Watch that is luxury costs way more than casual Apple products, so even a $1000 Apple watch would not be worn if the owner has a $10.000 Breitling watch.
I think this is the main reason not to build a Samsung Galaxy Gear-like form factor device.
- by watch I don't think they are trying to compete with luxury timepieces - this is wearble tech - nothing to do with fashion watches.fadein11
- you could essentially have one on each wrist. Having either or either wrist instantly makes you a cunt anywayset
- damn, I didn't know you had a $10k breitlingmonospaced
- No, he didn't.eoin
- @mono lol I'm a designer, too broke for a watch at all :/mekk
