Apple died when Steve Jobs died.

[@CYMetro1985]

Apple haven't Innovatived since Steve Jobs days.

[@mywow8975]

True

[@howtoguy17]

Apple hasn't innovated period

[@PragmaticDany]

+William Damron I mean, they have been innovative, but way in the past. Nothing new comes out of apple anymore.

[@howtoguy17]

Most of the stuff in the past was other company's technology that they put together, the only innovation they have done is keeping heir devices locked up and closed-source

[@GIJew]

Nah, up until the iPhone 6 they did good. The 6S and now the 7 show no big innovation.

[@ShermanMR2]

I've said it years back when Steve Jobs was sick. When Steve Jobs is gone Apple will lose all of its innovation and sure enough that is what happened. RIP Steve Jobs, the world and "new technology" misses you dearly.

[@niket1234L5W0A2]

steve wozniak is the real genius of apple. steve jobs was an amazing marketer though

[@ShermanMR2]

+NSR Ya but the Waz doesn't work for Apple anymore.

[@niket1234L5W0A2]

oh i didn't know that.

[@therealtrebor]

Apple hadn't innovated anything after Wozniak's departure from Apple. Apple hadn't really done anything innovating.

[@michaeljcarn]

At the end of the day, the majority of people who buy iPhones don't really care. As long as they can text, watch KZbin, and scroll through Twitter, the phone does everything they need. If you tell the average person with an iPhone that your phone has an IP68 rating along with a 2k curved AMOLED display and they're missing out, they not only don't know what that means but also don't care. Going along with what Joe said however, I agree. Apple hasn't released anything spectacular for quite some time. There was a time when Apple truly made the best products for tech heads, but those days seem to be over. They've become more of a business than a tech company in my opinion.

[@benjmiester]

Every phone does that. Just good enough isn't a selling point when it does everything just as well.

[@JoeARedHawk275]

Thanks for your comment. Other ones seem like stupid android fanboy comments

[@shabrangong]

+Dark W it's the only thing they can argue on when confronted with the *fact* that Android is better.

[@RevAndPlayChannel]

so now the iphone is IP68 too.

[@michaeljcarn]

IP67 technically and I think that was a smart move from Apple. Of all the features that Samsung boasts, this one is the most practical in my opinion. Hopefully all smartphone manufacturers will take note of this in the future. However, my original point is not that Apple doesn't have technical specs like this, but the average iPhone user doesnt really care about them. For example, the iPhone 7 plus will have their A10 chip, 3gb of RAM, 2 12mp cameras in the rear, 7mp shooter in the front with an LCD retina screen with a resolution of 1920x1080, all packed into a sleek form factor that also has an Ingress Protection rating of 67. For the vast majority of iPhone users this will translate into "It looks good, it's fast, the camera is good, it's waterproof and it has iMessage". This is by no means me taking a shot at Apple or anyone who owns an iPhone. I just understand that I'm a fucking geek who wastes his time reading articles on smartphones all day. For me to assume that everyone knows this (and wants to know this for that matter) would be incredibly dumb on my part.

[@dolebiscuit]

You're spot on. Basically, the only reason Apple is profitable is because they market their products to people who are too stupid to do research on specs and performance, and too shortsighted to see that every new iPhone is the bare minimum of an upgrade required to get stupid people to buy their newest models. The same shit goes for their Macs. If you ask online for a professional level rig to do anything from photo editing to sound design, you'll always catch at least one guy saying, "Get a Mac". Why? Why the hell would you spend more money for an inferior product? Honestly, I bet Apple could literally throw the same hardware that is in the iPhone 6 into the iPhone 7, list the specs honestly, and their key demographic would still buy it for full price without question. People are just that dumb. Apple has a successful business model, but man, are they fucking scummy about it.

[@dolebiscuit]

Max Raider Right...Which is why it absolutely dominates the mobile OS market.

[@dolebiscuit]

Max Raider Which goes to show that Apple overprices their underspeced hardware.

[@TheReal_ist]

Hey Dumbass have u seen the speedtest the 6s out performs all newest flagships and it's a year old all android phones are like this because of the software and hardware not being seemliest melded together. Its pretty obvious there are phones with 6 gigs of ram and it still doesn't compare to apples 2 gigs. Yes there are cool features about android that I like but I will stick with my jail broken reliable and still insanely fast iPhone. And mine doesn't explode btw😂😂

[@richman2601]

+Batman Because having the phone up your asscheeks is a good idea

[@TheFinePlayer]

apple phones are also a lot more expensive just because you pay for the "premium" part of it. That's how they have made their company to seem like. But it's pretty bullshit. Samsung phones are better in almost every way, yet Iphones are more expensive. Just because it's an apple pruduct. But yes, Iphones do look clean and they have a great feel to them; the "premium" feel. That's way so many are hooked on to them.

[@heminhimdad]

yes ur right

"Because its oversimplified. Its for people who don't care about customization, in depth features etc. Its the smartphone equivalent to the old cell phones marketed towards senior citizens like "The Jitterbug"." -someone else in the comments

[@GIJew]

The iTunes transfer was designed to prevent malicious files from being transferred onto the device.

[@benjmiester]

+Michael Low Yeah, that old tired excuse cracks me up too. They act like you have to wade through settings and customizations before you can do anything. NOPE. They're tucked away neatly in the settings menu or via quick toggles in the Android original notification panel. They're both every bit as easy to use and frankly they're almost the same now, iOS has stolen so much ("stolen" usage courtesy of Jobs since that's what he thinks it is)

[@cyberlion6411]

i agree. i ust to be an apple fan up until the iphone 4. after that i feel like apple did not really innovate anymore. i guess it has something to do with steve jobs death because although he did not design or create his products he had the ideas to make it all happen

[@empedance1933]

While I do like Iphones, I hate the personality of how some developers completely favor IPhone over Android or Windows Phone. I think a great example of this is Snapchat. (Ive tested this myself, with an IPhone 5S and a Galaxy S5) The IOS version has the ability to do Fast and Slow motion, and autofocusing within the app itself, and the picture quality is a billion times better too. Once people started finding this out, there was a rumor going around that the CEO personally hated Android and windows phone, although I cant seem to find a source on that, but it was mentioned in a whole bunch of threads taling about it on Reddit. I also heard about some guy getting sued for making a Windows Phone app (3rd party snapchat viewer).

They didn't remove the 3.5mm jack to make the phone thinner... They had to fit the "Taptic Engine" there, so that the Home Button isn't a button anymore, do that they get the IP67 certification. Also, Wireless Charging as well as Quick Charging is REALLY BAD for the battery long term. I agree with the rest :D

iPhone 7s: "We're bringing back the headphone jack. On a body the same size as the iPhone 7."

[@TheLun4tic]

they didn't take the headphone jack out because it was cool but because they can sell lightning port certifications to 3rd party vendors + because there is no analog gap. they can include some DRM in the certification so you cannot pirate any music from itunes through some old analog headphone jack. that is the truth behind the removal of the 3,5mm headphone jack. over all it is a pretty smart business decision but it is purely a buiseness decision because customers get absolutely NOTHING out of it. so you could say that apple now definately stopped caring about their customers and focusses purely on money.

[@jasperpamilar2688]

Just a question, do you guys think of a more innovative designs aside from Wireless Charger, Wireless Charging, Smartphone pens and some sort? Anymore bright ideas???

[@dXXPacmanXXb]

The new iPhone should be like the current one, just a little bit different design, maybe slimmer frame (maybe even edge screen) and all the basic features for high end smartphones: Waterproofness, better hardware, wireless charging, better battery, higher screen resolution and whatever else is basic android stuff nowadays. But it really doesnt need anything super innovative. Just dont remove the headphone jack :D

[@PsychMdM]

The only thing I don't agree with is that their performance for the iphone, ipad, ipod, apple watch, macbook/ imac, isnt up to the standard, and that they completely ignore peoples strong wishes, such as touch screen macbooks and imacs, and such Removing the headphone jack was a good idea, wireless headphones can be much easier to use, and if you want wired, you can use their connector, and if you need to charge, just use a lightning to headphone/lightning splitter, the jack was useless in most ways, eventually, we won't even miss it at all.

[@spectralv709]

I think the elimination of headphone jacks and wireless headphones is where we're going anyways. The annoying thing is, for now, Apple is going to force you to buy their headphones

[@SethuSenthil]

Theo Joe! YOU ARE TOTALLY RIGHT! But one thing I would say is that now a days after googles material design launch it's easy in fact easier to use than ios.

[@tmlrobotics5446]

The removal of the jack was to fit more electronics in it.

[@PieroUlloa]

The problem about innovation is that is so damn expensive. The funny thing is that Apple has more money that the economy of medium-sized countries, yet they spend nothing to innovate because it's unneeded. Their marketing is all that matters to them.

[@Daxzter]

They are removing the headphone jack to make the phone more water resistable

[@mattroh7248]

Microsoft: "What did you just do?" Apple: "I DONT CARE! I LOVE IT!"

[@ChrisPhillipsMusic510]

I completely agree with a lot of the points you were making Joe. I've never really been an Apple guy, aside from my iPod Nano that I've had for a really long time. When I started looking into smart phones a few years ago and really started looking at specs, OS, etc. it really all just screamed "stay away from Apple" to me. This comes from someone who is basically the only person I am around consistently that doesn't own an iPhone, but I'm also basically the only one that knows about technology and tries to stay in the loop in that circle. Not to say that I go and get all the new things and such, I still have an HTC One m8 so I obviously don't stay on top of owning all of it, but when I got that phone I spent days doing research and checking out basically everything about the phones that were new at the time when I got this phone because I knew I wanted to get the best at that time. Most of the people that I know use iPhones because, like you said, the UI is so much more friendly if you don't know that much about technology. Going into each new model is basically nothing and the interface changes very minimally at the same time which helps. Though, personally, my least favorite thing about Apple is that you have to go through Apple with basically everything on their products, whether it be phone, tablet or whatever. Granted, with Android, a lot of the things you're going through is Google, but Google is more widely used because it's so ubiquitous for the average consumer. Whereas Apple accounts and such are used for Apple products, I use Google products for my phone, computer and basically anything else I use that accesses the internet. The fact that, when Apple started getting really popular, they were a company built on innovation and new ideas was great for a long time. They did things with technology that most other companies probably hadn't even really began working on until Apple products started getting sold and their stocks were hitting all time highs and they started a great trend, but hearing that Apple is basically dead in the innovation and change department really kind of hurts even though I am not a fan of their products to begin with. The ideas and things they did brought a lot of good for technology. Hopefully they will get their collective together and find something new before they just kind of become a story to history about a guy in a black sweater and jeans.

[@kered2248]

I will say that 3D touch is a very impressive feature. In iOS 9 it was not a big deal, but with iOS 10 it is an integral part of the entire OS. I do agree with a lot of your other points, especially with the battery life and hardware specs. That being said, the hardware specs are an irrelevant point when comparing to Android. These are two entirely different ecosystems, and as a result, they both use their hardware differently. This was one of the primary reasons I switched from Android to an iPhone. After any update, or just over the course of even a year, my Samsung Galaxy became so slow and laggy, that I felt as though I was being ripped off with the amount of money I paid for it. In comparison, I have had my iPhone 6s for almost a year now, and it is just as fast as day one. Battery life depends highly on the user, as I have the 6s Plus, so I typically make it through a whole day just fine, unless I have a heavy day of usage.

[@EricksonFilmsYT]

I think the biggest thing that iPhones currently having going for them is long term usability, as in an IPhone 5s after 3 years of usage will run significantly smoother than an Android phone of the same age, assuming no rooting or jailbreaking is done to either. I agree with this video and think your points are valid, I just think that at the end of the day each platform is designed for different types of users. Currently using my first iPhone, after switching from an LG G4. Always uses android in the past

[@EricksonFilmsYT]

Used*

[@DynamicalisBlue]

The only reason they have long term usability is because they all have very similar specs so when they do updates they don't have to leave a generation behind. However with Android (Samsung for example), since the Galaxy S7 (Octo core, 4Gb) has far superior tech to the Galaxy S5 (quad core, 2Gb) they have to leave the S5 behind and not update it anymore. (2 years difference) if they didn't leave the S5 Samsung/Android will not be advancing in tech and software. The iPhone 6S however is dual core with 2gb ram and the iPhone 5 is also dual core with 1gb ram (4 years difference)

[@EricksonFilmsYT]

+Dynamical i see your point, but I would argue that given that iOS doesn't contain any java like Android does, iOS is able to optimize it's more limited hardware.

[@DynamicalisBlue]

not advancing in tech does have its benefits

[@DynamicalisBlue]

I think ios does has java.

[@shaneybrainy13]

As much as I don't care for the Apple Watch, you can't call it a dud. It's actually the best selling smartwatch out there right now. Problem is, most people don't need or want a smartwatch, so the market is relatively small, in comparison to say the smartphone market. On the topic of the smartphone market, many companies seem to "lack innovation" recently due to the over saturation of the smartphone market. There is only so many features that one can cram into a phone, it's really become the law of diminishing returns. This is affecting all brands, not just Apple. Its really just come down to slightly faster processors, pointlessly high resolution screen (who needs a 4K phone screen when the screen size is 5"?) and better cameras, that's it. The awe of the smartphone is over now that everyone has one. I remember when I got the iPhone 4 right after it came out, and it was the only time I was the coolest kid in high school, haha. It was a new and fascinating device back then and most people didn't have one. Now that everyone has a smartphone, it's lost some of it's "wow" factor.

[@shauni1987]

I find I'm the most critical of companies I really like because I want them to be doing the best they can. ?You hit the nail on the head, my friend. I was thinking of making the same video before I saw this, but you've already hit all the points.

[@cawheeler27]

I'm gonna have to disagree on one point. You talked about how the iPhone doesn't match up to Android phones on specs. That may be true, but I don't think that is a problem. No one who uses one of the newer iPhones would accuse it of being slow, despite the fact that Android SOCs are better on paper. Android, however, is notorious for its lag. Apple realized they could optimize their OS to use less memory and clock cycles, while still being super fast, saving huge amounts on energy consumption, and costing less to produce, creating more profit in the process. Apple has intentionally chosen not to go for higher res screens because they require more memory, more battery, more cpu, and higher costs: all without providing any noticeable improvement for screens of that size. As far as Apple is concerned, Android manufacturers can play the spec game, giving up all the profit in the process. And they are. Samsung right now is one of the only manufacturers making any money in that game. At the end of the day, Apple is a business and I expect them to make decisions at least somewhat based on making money.

Apple may not be the first to implement a feature but we can all agree that they usually do it the best. The iPhone 6s still outperforms all android flagships from this year despite being a year old. Android manufactures just try to impress you with 'high specs' and useless gimmicks (iris scanners, really?). People have such short memories was it not apple that brought us the first capacitive fingerprint scanner? Was it not apple who gave us a high pixel dense display? Apple is the most innovative phone maker there is and that is a fact in terms of hardware. What apple does the whole industry follows. FYI I am an android user since I don't like using a closed OS.

[@Batman-li4ub]

1. *It was not Apple that brought us the first capacitive fingerprint scanner. You are correct ;)* 2. When Apple gives us a high resolution, people praise. And then when we're at 1440p, it's "unnecessary". 3. Apple? Most innovative? Apple is innovative. That stopped a few years ago. *Of course you would ignore the innovative hardware like the Iris scanner, front facing OIS, Wireless Charging, Fast Charging, Curved Displays, Curved Panels, Water Resistance, need I say more?* It seems the short memory is that of yours.

[@oliverlonsdale1492]

"The iPhone 6s still outperforms all android flagships" Nope. Its about equal to the S7, but has worse battery, no quick or wireless charging. Or waterproofing. Or even expandable storage. Until the 7, you only got 16gb. My first phone, which cost about £20, had expandable storage.

Name me one phone that has all these features that you listed and most of them gimmicks like iris scanning and curved displays. Apple is not perfect but they innovate in a way that positively impacts the user experience instead of just putting things in there for the sake of marketing rhetoric.

[@Batman-li4ub]

MrEricChima​ 1. I'm Batman 2. A higher resolution display will look sharper no matter what. 4. Force Touch WAS A marketing rhetoric. Oh, and by the way, Note7.

You didn't give Apple a chance. The iPad Pro isn't just a big iPad. The iPhone 7 removal of the headphone jack didn't even affect you yet. You don't got it to have it, and they gave you a solution to listen to your music. You may say: oh what if I want to listen to music and charge? Listening to music doesn't take up a lot of battery. You don't need to charge while listening. (If I'm not wrong, up to 40 hours non-stop playback!)

[@TheSeanUhTron]

I'm not an Apple fan-boy by any means, but their phones are not under-spec'd and removing the 3.5mm headphone jack is a good idea. iPhone's use lower clock speeds, less cores and less memory because their OS is optimized for the hardware. This doesn't pan out very well for multitasking but the hardware performs just fine *for what iOS let's you do*. As for the headphone jack, good-riddance. We live in a digital world, it's time for analog audio to go.

[@connorPiper0]

But sound waves are analog, there is no other way around that. You have to use a DAC no matter what. Might as well let the phone do it for consistency rather than the headphones. Plus that drives up the price of headphones.

[@TheSeanUhTron]

connor Piper TV'S create analog lightwaves too, but we still call it digital TV. Let's not argue semantics though. The flaw with analog is that the signals are very sensitive to interference. The longer an analog signal has to go, the more interference it sustains. The iPhone 7 still has an integrated DAC. The lightning->3.5mm adapter is not a DAC itself, lightning can transmit analog audio. That means you can still get cheaper lightning headphones that do not have built-in DAC'S.

[@justinkiran]

They did say that their main focus was to innovate wireless headphones water resisting it dedicated dual camera quad flash led and their gazillions of processes their product runs when you take your cats picture

[@leberkassemmel]

At least they don't stop the production of their new phone, and have to take them all back, because even the replacements exploded...

[@PurpleCoin7777]

The worst part is that 50% of teenagers are obsessed with Apple and will upgrade to the newest iPhone every time one comes out, no matter how bad...

[@kopel1586]

even worst is that in my country the iphones cost like 1200$+ and EVERYONE still buy those shitty phones for no fucking reason.

[@ychen97]

3.5mm Headphone jack has, officially, become a feature of other phones.

[@wesfishcare]

Damn, that backlighting is on point!

[@mass5904]

apple is like cod of mobile phone industry

[@TheKhlover]

i feel like people choose iPhone for iOS and people choose android for features and specs.If only we could combine those....

[@jmkyarrow]

And with the live picture thing, we WP users have had that since like 2011 and all the iPhone ppl called it stupid up until Apple claimed it as their own.

[@chernobyl4045]

Fast charge on a iphone: use an iPad charger

[@Dadbros420]

I think it's humanity that doesn't care. Innovation takes time, but we have such a short attention span that we expect new revolutionary things right here, right now.

[@jeffhalebopp]

IMO, They are dropping the headphone jack for only one reason. To make a new forced market to make customers have to buy another apple product - apple bluetooth headphones or bluetooth to headphone jack adaptors. Great going apple! Just like them putting out a laptop with only 1 usb port, soon to be none. This will backfire.

[@ab5865303929]

I called Apple and they verified that they indeed do care

[@johnregolino648]

They really gotta lower the price of Macs, I mean cmon, you could get a 500 dollar HP or Dell or whatever laptop that has better specs than a 1,000 dollar Mac. Cmon Apple

[@skyMcWeeds]

Apple Cares. Apple Always Cares. For your MONEY.

[@jason-1932]

I cant wait for the iPhone 8. 4K MAYBE, OLED, All glass display, and more, wireless charging.

[@faze4968]

You can slowly watch the water in his bottle disappear

[@GetSwingIN]

AGREE on every point except that the iPhone isn't the only user friendly/intuitive phone on the market anymore. It's a bad excuse to use them now with the updated offerings out there today. We just switched to the Samsung Note 5 from the iPhone this spring... and we could not be happier! We felt like we'd been missing out on major tech jumps. Felt behind the times - Apple has a HUGE gap in tech to overcome. Ohhhhh how gorgeous the Note 5's camera is too - wow (best on market). We almost waited to see what the iPhone 7 would bring, but thank GOD we didn't!!! $150 EarPods I'd lose in 2 seconds. Off to hug my Note 5. Thanks for the video!

[@KenHeslip]

The question is do Apple customers care anymore. Apparently not because iphones sell by the bucketload even with minimal updates. That may be changing though because iphones sales are dropping. I think there will be a VR/MR announcement this week though.

[@ChrisJ96]

Even though I like apple products, I agree with u. I think they need to introduce a new product, something no one has seen before or even thought of that will revolutionize the way we use technology instead of just making a better phone. I want them to make something that is totally new and truly unique to them.

[@bruh-ns5rs]

If Stivi's Job came back he would take over the world

[@ItsCozmo]

I mean personally I don't care about the newest iPhone every year. I have a 5s and I don't see myself wanting to spend $850+ on a new phone, for a couple of minor features, and the same iOS that may run just a little bit better. I'm just sticking to the 5s for a while still until they do make some great changes and innovation.

[@stevencastle2233]

removing the 3.5 jack isn't a bad idea, but it is too soon for the market that apple sell to. It would be better on something that only enthusiasts buy imo.

[@lucaber]

They remove the Headphone-Jack just to make it as a feature for the next iPhone... :)

[@iankelly3081]

Who buys a new phone every year? You only buy a new one if your old one breaks down or in a few years time when there are enough new features to make it worthwhile. I think the smartphone has peaked anyway, they are now up against the wall of smartphone innovation. What more can they add to them?

[@cruztube23]

Look dude, I agree with you to some degree. Apple makes a huge deal of minor upgrades and that really is awkward. I don't know many people who buy a new iPhone every year, that's why the new iPhone 7 plus certainly is an upgrade from iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. But Apple's strength isn't in pumping their phones with features like Samsung or LG, their strength is making high quality products that last years and years, their stable and optimized software, their ecosystem (which is fantastic IMO), their Stores. It's not a surprise to me that Apple is so popular, that's why they can get away with micro improvements and people will still go crazy. They sell smartwatches that aren't on par with other competitors but their watches break all selling records, because they are popular. But, again, you have a point, people have a point when you/they say, Apple ain't trying that hard anymore... 2017 must be the year of a new wave of innovation and redesign, especially with their phones and laptops.

[@Supertinyfeathers]

"Android is so much better!" -Because an exploding phone is more innovative than a telephoto lens.

[@jagc2206]

you mean that poeple who use 0.50usd ultra fast chargers are unsafe?

[@nadersharif43]

OK how about the hundreds of other android phone makers

[@Accxrato]

You do realize android isn't a phone right? It's an operating system.

[@ryankosta5953]

Its funny that theres 100s of android phones, one kind explodes (remember when people had the iphone 6 in there back pocket it would bend and explode, i do it happened at my sisters school), NO ANDROID EVER, lol its incredibly barbaric

[@vinnpu]

Other than the obvious - like better battery life - what new features do you have in mind for phones?

[@Terry.W]

They should pay their taxes first. .

[@maxk.6725]

I personally think that Tim Cook should be replaced with a better CEO.
