Steve Jobs was Apple. He was first and foremost a marketer, not an innovator. After his passing, we keep on getting the same recycled designs. iPhone 14 looks like my old iPhone 4S, but you can buy the 14 in blue, not just in piano black. I won't even mention the return of the magnasafe plug on the recent MacBook laptops.
“Apple isn’t a business”
This really is true. There’s a lot of things while joked about that Apple somehow commercially pulled off that no other company would even dream of pulling off let alone generating profit off of.
Other than Disney
What turned me away from Apple after owning several Apple iPhones and tablets over the years was the ridiculous price for larger storage and the inability to insert an SD card. I switched to a Samsung Tablet and Phone a year ago and love it!
Good Decision 👍
True upgrade ram or ssd goes for crazy £ remeber my last macbook 15 from 2015 i pay hmmm 1500£ ? now bottom line cost 2400£ not cheap :/
You clearly didn’t understand the benefits of Apple‘s ecosystem.
@@adredy no, 1000 dollars for a 13“ mb air with M3 blowing Intel away… don’t know what you talking about 2,5k…
Steve Jobs Absence is the reason we get the same Apple products every single year!
Hope he gets well soon.😁
Lol
I remember going to a private meeting at apple in 1994. It was clear that they had no idea what users wanted and they were not going into listen.
It will be really interesting to see how Apple performs once Vision Pro is launched to the public
26:20 - imagine the guy ould have gotten an Amiga, he could have drawn in 4096 colors instead of greyscale hahaha
In 1996, I recommended a large corporation to purchase an earlier model of a laptop, as the current one they wanted sucked.
The purchase manager overrode my suggestion, and purchased the hardware from an (original) AppleStore.
(for corporations)
For the next 6 months they had major problems.
All cleared up when Apple recalled the line of laptops and replaced the logic board.
I feel sorry for people who take pride in working for a company a person that blows up on them yells at them insults them constantly applying pressure on them ... because jobs was this kind of person is y i never bought a single apple product... id love working on revolutionizing products a brand that will take its place a top the mountain... but before someone elses gains comes ME ... and b4 my paycheck comes my person my humanity and i wont lower my self for a product or a person certainly not for a dollar
According to this, Apple made a product called iPhorrrnne.
I just love apple products! apple fanboy since 2016!
19:40 sounds like Tim Russ
As an Android die hard fan (did have my first smartphone - a jb Iphone i4 but realised I don't need to jb with Android hence Android user since) I do appreciate the early Apple products and Steve Jobs vision, determination, innovation and heart for the brand.
It made sense, it brought about the new technological renaissance of portable devices and hardware in the early to mid 00s. Not to mention streaming services before it was even a thing.
It's such a shame though after his death Apple inevitably went down the profit first route as the Pepsi ex-CEO then attempted to do I.e. profit first, innovation last.
If Apple start to revolutionise the industry again I'd certainly be interested and competition would be wild! imagine the range of out there tech we'll have!? If only...
all it would take to end apple and microsoft is for devs to support linux more seriously
Hey there you look amazing!!
As an Employee of Apple.I like to tell the company that Apple needs to move production out of China.
Today's macbooks complete take the Michael. If you want 8gb ram and 256gb storage you're looking at £1400, to have 24gb ram 2tb storage you're looking at £2600, nearly twice the amount.
On a PC 2tb storage will cost under £100 and 32gb ram will cost about £65. If it breaks you can buy more for probably less.
Nearly bankrupt, then ended up as one of the greediest companies in corporate history. Amazing 😁
Nope - they price their products according to what the market will pay, just like any other company. You just sound bitter because you can't afford certain Apple products. Sorry about your financial troubles, but that doesn't make Apple greedy - it just means their products are outside your budget. Tough. It's not like you don't have tons of other options from other companies.
@@Falcon-um7vo you just sound deluded to me, I suppose you're the sort of person who believes that they got rid of chargers for "environmental reasons" 😂
@@parshakamarsh Easy to call some one "deluded" - much harder to explain how if they actually aren't. I notice you simply name-called and didn't back it up. My post was simply basic business that any high schooler can understand. And I know this might be hard to grasp for you, but companies can do things for multiple reasons. Apple can "get rid of chargers" for both environmental AND profits reasons.
@@Falcon-um7vo LMAO
White people time
The Why Phone 🤔
Lol
Apple for folks who know nothing about technology 😆 🤣 😂
@CZcams Why did I get a Veely ad at the beginning of this video? I pay for CZcams Premium. Its ad-free. I would appreciate an explanation please.
Hale to All Android Users!
The world would be a better place without Crapple
Ditto
You are either typing it on an iPhone or a phone imitated from Apple's iPhone.
Touch some grass
@@vedantmungre1702 The world would be a better place without Crapple. I wrote that on a LAPTOP, from ASUS.
@@kythrathesuntamer9715 Great, even I typed that comment on a Samsung. 😂😂
Apple the King's of style over substance. Sheep product, ideal for the WOKE generation 👌
Let me guess: You never worked on Apple products.
@@michaelp.6511 let me guess you're too out of touch to realize he's right?
@@kythrathesuntamer9715 sure is he right, as long you don't do any serious tasks on your computer...
Unfortunately, you’re right.
A company I worked for in the early 90's made the switch to Apple PC's , it was the one of the smartest moves they ever made.
BASICALLY APPLE AND JOBS COPIED IDEAS AND PUT THEM TOGETHER IN ONE PACKAGE, JOBS DIDN'T INNOVATE AT ALL. LIKE NOKIA AND ERICSSON ETC.
I got inspired by Steve jobs many years ago when I was in a diffficult situation that shattered my entire Life....In 2016 I had to begin a new Life again that's when I put NeXT( Sulthan NeXT) in my name....I started working very hard inspite of many difficulties and finally I got a job in a public sector Bank in India.... Now I have family and respectable life and career.... Thanks to Steve jobs👍🙂....
