The worst part about it is that most of the time you can prove people wrong quite easily, but they don't listen. The day Jobs died, people began to build some nostalgic image of him that is simply wrong. Jobs was a human being who made mistakes, and quite a few of them are well-documented. Still, whenever certain people see something that is "wrong" about Apple in their eyes, they act as if nothing ever could have gone "wrong" under Steve Jobs.
One big point there is the whole "innovation" topic. According to some people, the lack of Steve Jobs is the reason for the supposed lack of innovation. But even when Jobs was around, Apple didn't have a new big magical innovative product every year. For example after the release of the first iPod, Apple spent something like seven years doing nothing else but churning out new iPod models which were basically just variations of the same successful product. But no... under Jobs, Apple would of course have had an iWatch in 2012, an iTV in 2013, an iHoverboard in 2014 and an iTimeMachine in 1915.
Steve Jobs is the guy who brought the world Ping, the one-button mouse, MobileMe and who told us that we are just holding it wrong if it doesn't work. Yes, he also brought us the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad, the Macbook Air and a lot of other great stuff, but not everything that he touched turned into pure gold, so I wish people could stop acting like it did.
Hahaha, nice teamwork.
Well, youre definitely wrong here, so its good to get that out of the way nice and early.

Yeah, I looked though some of dec.'s quotes. Seems as if I didn't even look up when I heard the sonic boom. I'm going to blame it on a broken Keurig and a lack of coffee earlier.
I gotta own up in my original post.
Really? Better tell that to the guy who invented it:

It was definitely a complaint on the first few iPhones but I think the 5 and 5S have great speaker quality.
These new iPhones will have Beats mini sub speaker tech in them. These leaks confirm the larger sub system. It's a customized version (naturally) but it's clearly beats. This will be a great upgrade sound wise.
I am glad they're spending so much time on getting the logo just right, cause I want everyone to know that I own an iPhone.

Yeah, Ive kind of taken note of a few of their posts, so I can of knew where they stood. No worries, that was definitely all in fun.
Bummer about the Keurig, in additional to the big K75, we have a small single serve backup up in the bedroom (and a french press ...), to avoid that kind of catastrophe.
Im actually on my second cup, Green Mountain Dark Magic. (pumpkin spice on the way from Amazon )
Beige-colored home buttons?
Looking at the shot of the home buttons I'm surprised how grey they look (on the silver and gold models), rather than white like the current model. Is the white balance just off on this image? The photo seems great quality otherwise, which makes me wonder if Apple has had to move away from a white Touch ID sensor after all for technical reasons...

I did not realise he was having a laugh until I read this sentence near the end.
ROFL post 
Yes....that darn doubling down is loosening up finally.
Looking forward to the assembled iPhone 6 'leaks' that are sure to follow.

Well one of the most strategically smart moves, was to acquiesce and have iPods be dual platform.
Then moving to Intel-based platforms for dual-boot macs.
That and the iPhone sync with Windows (albeit thru iTunes), became the gateway drug to Macs. These 2 were one of the smartest business decisions Apple could've made. I'd like to know who made that decision... or presentation.
The other great decisions were:
- The Keynote presentations of products, allowed for front facing introduction to the Cult of Apple to the world, and its collective drool.
- Apple Stores
- After Steve Jobs was diagnosed (I mean literally the very first mention), they immediately moved to started to introduce the rest of the team on stage to also present parts of the Keynote. Whereas before SJ solely presented. This helped us, press, wider body of watchers over the course of 5 or so years get to know the team, and people, making a transition after his passing all the more easier to identify the key players. This was so smart. And even when they didn't know how big his health problems would affect him yet, they put a transition and public facing strategy in motion.

That being true coupled with voice over LTE should be a signifcant upgrade.
Great post. The way things have gone here lately you will probably get dinged for trolling. If it makes you feel better I am pretty sure I will get suspended moments after hitting submit reply.
