That moment when someone decides to build a bot to dislike-bomb your video. great

[@MioszMichaowski]

PolyMatter I just want to make one point - about Apple not listening to customers and that quote from Henry Ford. If you take the “faster horse” part of the supposed customer need then you have all the knowledge you need - people want to travel faster. It’s not the customers job to tell you exactly what to do. And Apple follow that principle - with iTunes they noticed that people want a quick, easy and affordable access to music and they want to carry it with them (like on a Walkman) digitally. With the iPhone they noticed that people wanted to use the Internet on mobile but they rarely did because the experience was horrible. Anyway, obviously one can have wisdom, luck, knowledge to create a great product or service all by himself. But it usually comes from listening to what you customer say and reading their needs. Then it’s a designers, CEO’s job to come up with a solution.

[@termitreter6545]

Yet this video isnt even good. It doesnt actually explain most of what Apple does, and is often enough outright misleading. There is so much missing, especially for why people actually attack Apple: 1. Profit IS the one goal of apple, its a public company. The product "values" are only their product philosophy to get the money. That is something you always should consider when apple does something dumb. 2. Apple is perfectly ready to sabotage their products to make more money, to screw you over. Thats why they got lightning ports, instead of USB-C. Made repairs nearly impossible. Killing the phone jack makes it easier to sell their own audio solutions. They had a mouse with the power port at the bottom, so you couldnt use it wired. For their new screen, they literally engineered a power connector that cannot be removed without destroying the port, except with a specialist tool. This is not done because "you dont know what actually want and Apple knows better". Its greed and control. 3. Many of their products try to be special, but they fail to replace actual functions. The smart watch cannot replace a phone, because it doesnt do its job (and those airpods+mic are way too clunky to take out). So people use phones, which can do the mini-tablet job, making the smart watch pretty useless outside of super niche occasoins. Same way you cant replace eg a work PC with a tablet in most cases. Apple just ignores things it cant deal with and throws out random stuff. 4. Apple isnt even as revolutionary or ahead as the video makes you think. They havent even invented the most 'important' tools, like MP3 players, smartphones and tablets. They just polished them up into a more convenient form. How can you say theyre seeking the next big thing if they never actually invented it? 5. In this entire video, there is not a single examination of brand and marketing. The branding as a lifestyle product, an "identity". To leave that out is a massive misrepresentation of Apple, it is one of their biggest selling points. And also a big reason for derision.

Because it's a small computer and we all want that computer In our pocket !!!! Simple really but takes literally future telling absolute accurate predictions. Look at VR, back in the minority report film they thought they needed VR gloves. But the next generation uses things like Microsoft Kinect to detect motion without gloves!!!!! Even futurists get it wrong, but apple actually gets it right every time. Headphone jack???? Retards the next generation is CLEARLY WIRELESS!!!!!! When Apple do it, it literally is the industry standard then. Like when Apple used USB and NO COMPUTER DID !!!!! WTF??? You can see why, because USB was clearly the future.

FutureNow just get a Motorola/Samsung, they work better and have better graphics, storage, and camera quality

[@asdasdjsjsjs4213]

The average person is not thinking in better graphics, storage and camera quality (I mean numbers), that's why in Apple you see they're introducing, for example, new features that will make the use of their products easier, if they want to show that the camera is good, they'll show you directly a photo taken with that camera and they'll hide the numbers, for example, the Macbook, it's a light, thin, and ultraportable computer, with a very good, and also different keyboard, a very good screen, but they don't advertise, 2304x1440 resolution at 226 pixels per inch, they simply say "retina", the average computer user is not actually interested on the processor, they only see the space, the RAM and what they advertise.

The iphone always runs games and apps at higher quality and higher FPS the Samsung has... 2 things, customizability and oled... and the X destroyed oled... personally the only thing missing is that custom skins the galaxys have (i had the s7 a year ago) but... the iphone always had higher FPS i mean rules of survival is a perfect example... mg friends s6 cant handle it.. my X runs it like a hot knife in butter. Bet my old iphone 6 runs it better. Optimization is better, storage, google photos? i had an SD card on mt s7 but... i never used it, it came with 32gb stock, and even with movies i never went over 32gb, i even did homework on it... camera... debaitable, i love pro mode but auto was over saturated apple doesnr have pro mode and are great in auto, but lightroom gives iphone users promode... sooo yeah... samsung lost me, if i evee go back to andrioid it will be for the op5t

[@euchanels]

well, anyone anti Apple is nothing but a bias google robot majority which makes them the robot sheep. Seeing that Apple offers exclusive products rather than the conventional/prostitute android ware so that anyone and everyone can be a android phone.. Most Apple users dont care what Android users have to as their lower iq opinions dont count. Cant help the Android zombies, cause they cant focus on a single product, they jump from product to product and from gadget to gadget, bedazzled by gimmicky and flashy things rather than what ads value to their lives, the more imitation tech a thing has the more likely an android users gonna fall for it. The Apple user focuses on life, while their products is just something that ads value instead of trying to keep them busy with features that soon lose their charm and infatuation.. Cant blame android users for not getting it, after all they listen to everything their company says, after all its the worlds most powerful advertising company, so understandable that android users cant think for themselves, thats why they love ads and distractions. so lame. meanwhile google employees prefer using mac computers... and iphone’s of course. Find it funny how the very arguments they try and use against apple products is actually the very arguments that apply to them.

[@leowong8777]

I can see one fatal flaw in this strategy. If the market is already existent, then it is hard for Apple to dominate it. Take a look at Smartwatches and Wireless Earphones. When an Apple consumer tests out another product, and the consumer finds the product better, they switch. For example, Apple releases the Apple Watch when the market is oversaturated with Fitbit. And although it did made a small dent, more people still buy Fitbit, even the loyal Apple fans. Same goes for loyal Apple fans buying Beats, Jaybird or Sony wireless earphones. So this strategy mostly works on a situation when the market chosen is not oversaturated.

[@hackhenk]

Incorrect. Apple has the most loyal userbase in the tech market. Because you know an Apple product will be of a certain standard and will be pair-able with the rest of you Apple devices. I personally don't use them but those who do almost always have a package of Apple products.

[@hackhenk]

Here's my sources, you're completely off. Apple is currently the fastest growing smartwatch producer after Huawei. Fitbit is really losing it's position in the market. Pls stop misinforming people, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. www.macrumors.com/2017/11/30/apple-watch-market-share-3q17/ www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS43260217

[@leowong8777]

It's not the same for the smartwatches and earphones. But for iPads and Macbooks, if you see someone with them, there's a high chance of them owning an iPhone. Sure, there are some very very loyal fans but the earphones and smartwatches are not necessarily required in the ecosystem, so some loyal Apple customers still buy the better alternatives which are _better._

[@hackhenk]

Stop liking your own posts and check the links I sent you. You are clearly wrong. Apple smartwatches gained market share this year, from 7% to 10%. Fitbit dropped from 20% to 13%. The trend is obvious, I have no idea where you get your numbers from.

[@noahpelfan1708]

Unbiased? LOL. This not only biased but either naive or deceitful. It has nothing to do with reality and the true motivations behind Apple's choices. NOTHING. 1. If technology is Apple's enemy it’s to make people think that iProducts are above it and above trends... They're MAGICAL. The constant use of this word by Jobs and Apple's marketing is no accident. Because they almost never have the best and more powerful component (except cpu... until it's throttled) and they are now always late to the market (me-too products). The other principles are just marketing basics. 2. If they don't sell anything and everything (yet) it's because it would be stupid and suicide. It would dilute the brand. Though they started doing it and it will happen more. Apple needs to try and keep up with a significant growth for shareholders to be happy (more accessories, more iPhones models etc...). 3. They don't try to do "smaller". LOL. The iPhone has never stopped getting bigger and will keep on doing so this very year (6.5" model). The Apple watch isn't there to replace an iPhone... EVER. It will never be a standalone product. it's an add-on. Like an iPad is an add-on to a laptop which is an add on to the desktop computer. They purposely limit all these products to NOT be able to replace the one they're supposed to be able to replace. The only thing Apple wants is selling more products. 4. That's also the reason why Apple doesn't listen to feedback. Beside the arrogance, I mean. It's because if they sold what people truly wanted, they'd sell less products that could do more (like a true hybrid laptop/tablet)... The iPhone is limited in every way possible to accommodate Apple’s other businesses (selling digital products and services are the main reasons of these limitations like no USB mass storage, no Bluetooth or NFC files transfer, no file manager, no SD card slot etc… All this is to force you to buy from iTunes and use the cloud. The headphone jack removal is to sell more bluetooth/airpods earphones. It's not because it's "the future"... LOL. The removal of the home button is because it's easier and cheaper to build a phone without it. Less mechanical parts. And also to try and differentiate themselves -- with a WebOS/Palm like interface which replace buttons by a couple more gestures -- to hide the fact that they just launched another me-too phone/product etc...)... And because it's, like every company, lazy. Meaning the less they spend, the happier they are. They try to find the sweet spot between least spending possible for the most profit possible (that's financial efficiency). And with such un-demanding customers, the ratio profit/cost is enormous. 5. They haven't innovated for years beside for anti-consumer moves like the removal of the headphone jack, of ports (to sell more adaptors and cables). So, if they don't listen it's NOT because they create innovating products that the consumers couldn't have thought about by themselves... But, again, to maximize profit and keep on making decisions that profit Apple, not its customers. Their customers ACCEPT it. iFans and iPologists try and make everyone thinks it's because of grand vision for the future or "grand principle" that'll benefit them in the end... but it's just NOT true. And customers keep on buying Apple DESPITE these choices and moves, not BECAUSE OF them. And they don't pour huge amount of money in R&D, no. In fact, they are spending less than Samsung, Google, Microsoft etc... DESPITE generating a LOT more money. Again, from their point of view, the less they spend, the better. Always for the same reason: profit margins. And it works, since people and videos like this justify and even glorify every bad moves and average or mediocre (made to be magical) me-too products Apple sell. 6. The author of this video, and contrary to what he claims, doesn't predict ANYTHING with "his" "GRAND theory"... Apple will make a new iPad? Maybe a hybrid? Or something completely different that we don't know about? What great predictions... LOL. I won't even talk about the ad... he's indeed clever in the way he delivers it. But where’s his blog/website he built with his sponsor’s product? This wasn't supposed to be such a long post... LOL. Thus, it's not very well presented or argued. But I think you can get what I think and what I'm trying to say. I only edited it for typos.

It’s always good to read opposing views compared to what you just read or listened to, because when we hear someone arguing a certain point it’s easy to think “this makes sense, they must be right!” without even trying to hear the opposite voice. You made me realise this video could have been written by a Apple marketing employee for how much it excuses their morally questionable practices in such an apologetic manner, even painting it as a grand theory meant to ultimately deliver something better for the customer (and people all over this comment section have completely fallen for it, writing comparisons between this and henry ford, who btw didn’t invent cars but that’s another story). Oh, btw everything you wrote still applies today, 5 years after your comment, but I think you know this already. I’m glad I live in a country where most people don’t use iPhones

[@fobusas]

Nice set of principles! That being said, 1st is titled absolutely wrong. What apple is doing is the opposite of technology transparency. They abstract technical stuff away and lock down as much as possible. Simple to use comes at a cost to understanding how it works. It's a true principle, just imho titled wrong. 2nd is the most important. Those 4 squares are the reason why Apple is alive today. It was masterful of Jobs to cut on the number of products and focus on excellence instead on a couple of key products. A lot of companies accrue cruft over the years of operation, and it's always painful to shed dead mass. 3rd. is a double edged sword. As long as a company knows what they are doing, it's really good. Once they have lost their way... not listening to your customers and delivering products/features they truly don't need will doom the company.

[@PolyMatter]

I think we may just have a different understanding of the word "transparency" in this context. You say "They abstract technical stuff away" which is exactly what I mean, making the technology transparent and presenting their own interface that is as distanced from tech jargon as possible.

[@fobusas]

You may be right. Did a quick dictionary search, and turns out it's one of the definitions. "COMPUTING: (of a process or interface) functioning without the user being aware of its presence". General definition goes like this: "easy to perceive or detect" Which is odd, because if user is not aware, how can he perceive or detect? Seems like a contradictory set of definitions. The only possible solution I can think of is transparency of purpose and effect, not the inner working of interface or process.

Remember when people called apple crazy for removing the floppy drive in the first iMac? Remember when people bashed apple for removing the CD/DVD drive on their laptops? Things we may have been reluctant to let go of, and pave the way for future UI. I'm not saying that removing the headphone jack is the way of the future, but in doing so, apple is forcing the world the adapt to a rapidly advancing world. Just imagine one day where USB C is standard for everything. One port for everything, isn't that the future we've been wanting?

[@nightmare4eVerr1]

Scott Chiste great speech, except apple uses its own proprietary port which milks them money anytime someone wants to design something for it. Apple is not forcing anything, they are only looking for maximizing profit, its the market sheeps that make apple sound like some godsend blessing

[@nightmare4eVerr1]

Scott Chiste Also removing features that everyone needs isnt exactly innovation. If they were really ahead of the curve, why havent they still not implemented USB C? And why did it take so long for them to add wireless charging when every other phone has it since years?

[@gwigiefqefjugb]

Why is the fact that Apple designs and licenses their own port systems a bad thing? If companies couldn't patent or license anything, no one would make money and we'd have no third-party accessories. Also, I just want to reiterate that everything isn't meant to be open-sourced, dude. If anything, I'd consider that fact a positive... It was literally said in this video that Apple's goal is not to give people what they want, right? So why be surprised when they don't?

[@gwigiefqefjugb]

Apple doesn't innovate much. Apple capitalizes on tech either they've already designed for use in their own systems, or tech that they feel is ready to be implemented and introduced to the world-stage. They shape the market in their direction, and THAT'S where the profit comes from. Apple also didn't make the first smartphone, but look where they're at now... It's all about timing, influence, & execution.

It’s obviously still not at the point of completely replacing the MacBooks but it’s incredibly powerful and it’s clear that eventually, that’s where they’ll be heading.

[@formulacam]

The real reason Apple got rid of the headphone jack wasn't because of courage... They didn't create the headphone jack/auxiliary cord so why keep a port on their phone they didn't create. They don't make any money on it and it was taking up a little space. For each third-party lightning cable sold they take a cut (which varies from company to company.) So every time something gets plugged into an iPhone 7 or later they're guaranteed to make money. The later iPhones are selling themselves just in patent royalties. So in the end, removing the port is just another way to maximize profits.

[@cesarbattistini]

They are just moving forward. They are not afraid of using a new port or technology. They where criticized with usb-a, the cd drive, and now with usb-c and no headphone jack. soon the industry will follow, as they always do.

[@phonewithoutquestion80]

I'm not a Chief Executive Officer, so I can't be overly hung up on Apple's success as marketing wizards. However, as a consumer, I can't ever respect their design decisions. Louis Rossman put it the best (regarding their computers), they can't engineer worth a damn, hinges on their notebooks suck ass, the aluminum is an overrated grade of aluminum that seems to warp easier over time, and that removing the headphone jack is such a jarring decision that it hampers its ability to be a decent multimedia machine. The headphone jack isn't even dedicated to one function, it can be used as a charging method if it were programmed to do so. Apple is killing off fingerprint scanners because they couldn't be the first to implement them under the display, which is a defeatist notion. Planned obsolescence isn't a bullet we dodge as consumers. Not to excuse Samsung for disrespecting the consumer by removing expandable storage options from the S6, their reasons were the perception that SD cards are not reliable in the long run even though same can be said about eMMC Flash on laptops, if you're performing intensive tasks on them in the long run. I currently use a budget Galaxy J3, loving it's removable battery and headphone jack, but these are clearly not a selling point for flagship devices anymore.

[@AxemanMessiah]

LOL These are not flagships because of its ports? This is why it is a flagship, it is their best product and bleeding-tech as it can be. If we lived with the mentality of not getting rid of any ports, we would still live in the CD player era, lmao. These ports are fully universal and transfer speeds are insanely quick. IMO SD is useful but it will be outdated soon enough, and that comment on Samsung removing the SD card is not true, my Note 8. You are a third rate moron.

[@HydraZProductions]

AxemanMessiah Removing ports is very inconvenient for the user and idiotic in terms of design. If you are removing obselete ports and replacing them with newer ports, I would understand but removing a port that has been there and was also used by many iPhone users doesn't make any sense to me.

[@HydraZProductions]

AxemanMessiah, calling people morons won't help you prove your case since you have shown that you could not have a rational and respectful conversation without resulting to insults.

[@AxemanMessiah]

Because bluetooth 5.0 is paving for the future. USB-C may be a hassle now but it's already showing how much more seamless the future is. I like the idea of having one port do everything and until then can live with an adapter, which isn't going to be very long. It has only been 1 year with the headphone jack removed and USB-C on the MBP, and in that year, so many manufacturers starting making USB-C drives, power packs, etc. along with major contenders also moving to it (ex. Samsung).

Cesar Battistini Maziero because even though this is an amazing video they make up for their "small" following by jacking their prices through the roof.

I wouldnt mind if it were a 100 dollars more than the materials. But you get my point; nothing worth the price.

Ray Antebioni Is manufacturing cost everything? It doesn't take the money spent into R&D , marketing etc into account.

[@siatomicssb2199]

Akash Rawat I am trying to work with as close to hard facts as possible. They would have plenty of extra profit if they had put 200 dollars more into the price for each macbook. Are you saying that any company is worthy to put a 5/8 profit on their product for "R&D"?

[@nocashirl]

Its the same for most big companies out there, for example it costs literally $300 to make a Galaxy S8 yet its sold for like $750, sounds unfair, right? But that's how companies work and it is not just the hardware you pay for. A lot of money is spent on making their products all the way from designers, coders, testers, etc. Not to mention how good their customer service is, you are assuming that manufacturing cost is all that matters and anything more than that is pure profit.

[@AvidSonicFan]

6 years ago, shortly before I went onto KZbin, I became an Apple fanboy despite never buying a Mac, an iPhone, or an Apple Watch at all. I was strongly considering it, but the only Apple products I have purchased during this time were an iPod touch 4G, an iPad Air first generation, and an iPod touch 5G. In fact, I was so big of a fanboy, that I actually put CNET on my KZbin video blocker all because they bash Apple too harshly! But very gradually over the past year and a half, my love for Apple was diminishing due to their "planned obsolescence model" by making the latest iOS releases incompatible with my devices, and only half a year ago, the tipping point was where I accidentally broke my iPad's screen and we took it into Walmart to repair it because it would be more expensive to send it in directly to Apple for repairs. Shortly afterwards, and after I put a rugged case on it, my home button stopped working. My iPad would be the last Apple product I would ever use. Anyway, thank you for making a video that appreciates both love and hate sides of my Apple opinions, and for explaining everything I may need to know about it! Unlike other companies, Apple doesn't care at all about money, but they care a lot more about the next big thing, even if it means having to refuse to listen to customers to get there! And to me, that would ultimately lead to higher-quality products from them that everyone would love to use!

No, those other platforms you mentioned are not more polished at all. Every single thing Apple does is very intentional and thought through.

[@18Me10]

sure some changes are always controversial. what i'm saying is for example that my 2013 macbook pro is by far more user friendly than this year's macbook pro. i remember taking an iphone 4s out of the box and everything worked like a charm even with existing equipment. now not anymore. and thanks for proving my comment about the original iphone

i said noone was USED TO smartphones, i never said 'noone ever used smartphones before' like you're assuming now. who's now proving lack of reading comprehesion lol fail. anyway i agree with you when you say we're in a transition period where many unpopular changes have to be made. in my opinion after using apple devices since 2009 i felt that they became in some aspects less user friendly. in apple's defense, we users became more exigent also. but that's just own opinion

[@18Me10]

also, apple used to make useful changes that made sense to the consumer and thus were still user friendly. like the lightning cable where that cable is stricly better than the previous one, making it easy to understand the change. the removal of the headphone jack doesn't seem very logical to me from a consumers view: i'll now just be using lightning connector headphones (that dont fit into my mac of course, while the old ones did) instead of the exact same ones with the normal connector. earpods are in my view much worse in every aspect as they have to be charged, look stupid, are prone to be lost and are very expensive. that's pretty much the perfect example for what i meant in my original comment.

I love apple devices and I won’t stop using them but it’s not like android hasn’t done some really great things with phones, they’ve made super powerful cameras, extremely well made chips and screens, etc. but with android devices there are so many different models that keeping them updated, all running efficiently, and more things it’s just harder to keep up with Apple in those categories.

Apple kills the headphonejack few years later almost every top notch phone doesn’t have a headphonejack anymore.

Can you explain the success of Samsung.

trial and error

[@JaytleBee]

they make products people want to buy

Cicero They do the complete opposite- They do what people want while giving the user more control. This works, but they have less room for innovation because of how they have to listen to the customers. Both strategies are genius and actually necessary for the tech market. Companies like Apple bring new ideas to the table, and companies like Samsung refine it.

+Stephen Coffey you have it backwards. There were plenty of phones before the iPhone 5S with fingerprint recognition but Apple polished it. There were plenty of phones with facial recognition before the iPhone X. For example: Oneplus 5t, Galaxy S8, Note 8, etc.
