Great, a recursive definition, "an A is an A", true! It tells us nothing about the nature of A however. Can you explain why a personal computer is not a computer intended for personal use? If I have a mainframe in my garage and use it as my personal computer is that also then a PC?
Not sure if you are just trolling now or are getting out by doing the semantic equivalent of "hide a coin" magic trick. Regardless the definition is useless here, because the Mac vs PC commercial compares the Mac platform to the WinTel platform running Windows. It's unfortunate that the PC acronym was used by IBM to brand their platform because it leads to all sorts of confusion.
From wikipedia:
"A personal computer (PC) is a general-purpose computer, whose size, capabilities and original sale price makes it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer operator."
That's what I take to be as a PC.
I didn't say everyone else was wrong. I didn't talk about the competition in that post. You just added it in.I'm glad Apple has you to look after them even though Apple and everyone else appears to be "wrong". Where were you when Apple was wrong about the iPad mini too?
"Where were you when Apple was wrong about the iPad mini too?"
Here on these forums sharing my dislike for the Mini. I still think the Mini is not a well thought product. It is just a way to enter the smaller tablet market. It'll make profits. But it is zero innovation. It's not really better than anything. It's just a smaller tablet. The original iPad on the other hand is better than all the netbooks. In so many revolutionary ways.
I am not against products like the iPad mini and oversized phones on the condition they are actually innovative and not just simply catering for market demand.
What can the larger iPhone do that the 5C can't do? People will say more screen real estate . . . and that is true but the iPad Mini and iPad does larger screen even better. That's using the device as a tablet or as a PC and not as a phone. As a phone what can an oversized phone do that the 5C can't do? That's what I want to hear. Apart from generate profits (which it will do).
I want Apple to bring out innovative products and not just me too products. Others are sell ing smaller tablets and oversized phones so Apple went "me too". Nothing apart from the size (or size related things) sets the iPad from the iPad mini. And I think the same will be true for the oversized iPhone. But I'd like Apple to prove me wrong there. It'd be a pleasant surprise.
