Crazy how irrelevant Apple was during the 90s. There was an Apple II in every classroom and lab in the late 80s. And everyone got an ipod in the mid 00s. Between that time they were almost completely forgotten about. That kind of fall has already happened and Jobs pulled a miracle

I generally like my iPhone and iPad. What more could Apple do for a better product?

Better integration/interface with Windows and android. Also, their messaging app sucks arse. On Android, you have the ability to do a keyword search and I haven’t found a way to do that on apple. They’re such little shitheads about integrating other OS’s.

Wonderful! I dropped their products about ten years ago. Never looked back!

Scully damn near killed the company.

I wrote a paper in MBA school back then. Recommended merging with or buying HP at the time. This was in the late 90's.

Apple isn’t going anywhere. They’ve been the best product available since the advent of the Apple 2 and the iPod. They’re still light years ahead of their competition and they continue to innovate. And that’s with Gates stealing everything from Jobs and acting like it was his.

A PC is trash compared to a Mac. Been strictly Apple for years and I’ll never switch back.

bullshite.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Gen 2 17" and a new MacBook Pro. They have the same specs but for the chips. The Thinkpad is every bit the equivalent of the MacBook Pro in terms of performance for what I do which is writing, surfing, and video editing. There are some things Windows does I like better and things Apple does I prefer as well.

It would be nice if the MacBook had a true delete button (it's a backspace button) and allowed you to open documents without saving them.

I've had droid since the days of the slide out keyboards, a feature I wish they never got rid of. Apple has always been in their shadow but for some reason people have to have their iphone because its what the celebrities say they have to have.

Not on phones. The Androids are kicking its arse on new features. Who has the foldables? Gemini? Hell, two are using Leica and Hassenblade for their cameras.

Apple of course, dominates the tablet market. Sets the standard actually. Computers are top notch but the phones are what generate the cash and that is one area where Apple is having problems.

Jobs didn't invent shite, Xerox gave it to Apple.

Typical Apple fanboy... equates paying more for an inferior product as living the good life.
