Has Apple peaked?
« on: March 08, 2012, 02:28:03 PM »
the new IPad is nothing new.  What they put in better resolution and added is to 4G network.  The new iphones have siri which is the most annoying thing ever.

Has this company reached its peak?

Valid question. How long will they be innovative.

if in not mistaken ... all those previous leaps in technology with apple where all ideas from Steve Jobs.


its safe to say, Apple died with Steve last year

They're not innovative and haven't been for a long time.

Their problem is complacency. They restrict the user experience and create a walled garden. They also exploit consumer loyalty by releasing tiny little updates to all their devices instead of bringing out something new and revolutionary. They can polish a turd until it shines like a diamond but they have easy problems that hold the company back.

I know the company isn't doing BAD per se, but they could do so much more if they wanted. I'm a super loyal Google/Android fan but I admit they could CRUSH the Android platform if they wanted. But instead they let Google embrace nerds and give us the ability to create our own user experience. They've given us a home and Apple's attitude is "like it, or fuck off"... well, until they stop using proprietary cables, stop releasing small updates and try pawning them off as revolutionary, until they get rid of iTunes, until they stop being anti-competitive and until they stop being hipster douche bags I'll continue to support their greatest rivals.

Like many others I WANT to like Apple but they make it really hard. Good thing there are billions of idiots in this world who'll eat their products up though. They don't have much to worry about.

Uh....no.  Steve jobs was a manager, and had nothing to do with the tech/innovation side of things for a long time.  he had a great mind for deciding where to allocate their funds for research and production (like the imac, then ipod, then iphone, ipad, etc...), but he wasn't the guy figuring shit out.  His greatest contribution to the world is revolutionizing the music industry with itunes.  That's his baby, 100% (which is funny, because he was a vinyl enthusiast and hated the way mp3's sound).

I think we are in the midst of a slow period for tech advances.  This always happens before the next big thing.  I have no idea what the next great advancement will be, but google "ray kurzweil," and that will get your brain wandering for a while.

They did, but their recent upgrades to the iphone and ipad are very laughable.  Now they are just nickle and diming their customers by holding out on certain features they are saving for the next release

Yeah, they're great at sensationalizing things.

Remember when the Cut & Paste features came to iOS? They acted as if they resurrected Jesus from the grave or something. The unfortunate thing is that people actually get hyped up about this shit... and then you've got fuckin' twinky nerds like me just melting down over it LOL jk

Apple's chosen their path and unfortunately there's no room for nerds like me to hop on board. It looks like a fun ride but it's just not for me. I'd sooner buy one for my parents and get an Android tablet for myself.

Forget this brand loyalty crap. How is it going to affect their stock?  ???

I think it's going to level out for a long while.

I don't think it has peaked. If it starts to sink I will sell it., but this stock has made me some very nice bank. I bought it at $79. I would love to see it hit it target price of 710.

apple will peak with the iphone 5, the apple television that they are going to come out with is just not going to be practical for people in this economy to buy when they can get a regular hdtv with much less money at the same quality.

nope. The world is moving to post pc, and apple owns the only music/video player the matters, the iPod. And the only tablet people want.
talking about phones tho, android 4.0, or ice cream sandwich as the losers call it :D, is almost as good as iOS 5. one more update and i might trade in my iPhone for a htc one X. :)
