I love that Apple calls it the 'Markup' - A word that's actual definition is "charging more without adding any value".
Lostcause79
"Well, since I was kind of a massive asshole in life.... keep up the good work".

The "pencil" for a tablet is something that has been around for decades but some act like it's a new radical thing. Seems like a Jobs move.
ght2v1
Oh how I hate Apple for removing the headphone jack. Absolutely idiotic and pseudo-progressive.
Cordite101
Hope I am not bursting any bubbles, but Steve Jobs was a master at "dick moves". Visionary, not a saint.
DrewSf29
I hate to admit this I really do but I got a pair of Bluetooth headphones and I'm NEVER going back. they're the future man
serenityfast
Not for me. I find it ridiculous to spend that kind of money on what is basically throwaway hardware. Headphones can last DECADES otherwise.

Holy shit it's been 7 years? Not that I ever gave a fuck about that douchebag but man does time fly

its funny because its true
jridley
They've also introduced the iPad mini that Jobs said was dumb and they should never make (and is very popular)
serenityfast
Yeah it's so popular that it's going on 3 generations out of date, and still selling at full price. Talk about a scam.
jridley
Well, several generations out of date and still selling at full price is a lot of Apple products. The iPhone is the only thing they push on.
danielonfilm

You know I am honestly suprised they are not charging more than 99USD for it
expfarrer
easy peachy - boycott the shit store
getmo
I love how Jobs' opinion is spot on here. He'd probably hate the watch, but think removing the headphone jack was brilliant.
Tonanamous
Apple's products are developed far in advance - he was prob. in on that one. They know what the sheep will be buying a decade from now.
PaulieCarbone
As an Apple user since 1996, I'm about to leave soon.
Mercenarity
Good for you.
ClevelandsNewTub
Right...
Knivz
I can't believe people bought a phone with no headphone jack. The stupidity in this country
catscatsyeahcats
It's been a few years since I've had a pair of headphones that even have a wire to plug in.
Knivz
catscatsyeahcats
I broke two screens from headphone wires getting caught on things in my lab. Totally worth it.
skellington01
I was like “how is Steve gonna find a way to not like the headphone jack thing?” :-)
Ryanator50
so tell me again why all the AI recreations of celebrities need holograms? I know about the hologram Tupac, but people act as if that 1/2

hologram was self aware and could write new songs. Is it because of the holodeck simulations in Star Trek? 2/2

Apple watch is the best wearable technology available today.
MateriaCaelestis
And Apple Pencil is the best graphical stylus available today
johnwohl
My butthole is the best availble pooping technology availible today, but it still kind of sucks to use. Best and bad,Not mutally exclusive.
MateriaCaelestis
Terrible analogy. Pooping is great. Do you own an Apple Watch or do you just have no idea what you’re talking about?
johnwohl
I think you know pooping could be way better. You are only deluding yourself into being satisfied with the current state of pooping.
MateriaCaelestis
Either way you don't have an asshole in the first place so keep your comments about the current state of pooping to yourself

Their usage suggestions are so girly that I think my dick would fall of if I followed them.
itsChuckles
i got nothing for that one.

Why is taking plant biology notes girly? Or are you talking about the bizarre fact that women have feminine writing?
VodkaReindeer
The whole idea of using a pen and lots of colors to take notes when you could be typing them into a list.
thenich
You actually absorb more information if you're physically writing. I would have killed for a solution like that in med school.

15 seconds for 30 minutes of charge or 10 minutes for 12 hours. Not exactly horrible? www.idownloadblog.com/2015/09/11/apple-pencil-charging

gotta say, that charge time does sound impressive.

Ironic. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, creator of the Mac, died from a PC.

that’s the vantablack type dark humor.

Squelchtone
I had dinner with him, what a great guy.
ImGonnaRickRollYou
U right, my mistake. How about "the face of Mac"
kakivara
Mac is a product line. Jobs took over Apple when Woz was injured. Jobs left but came back after Apple bought NeXT.
kakivara
Jobs was a good businessman, like Bill Gates. Neither were/are particularly great engineers.

The “stupid” watch it’s actually the most sold watch in the world...
Cptmike
And people are the most stupidest people in the world. check mate
serenityfast
Smartwatch maybe, definitely not regular watch, and the watch sales are suffering horribly for Apple as well.
Edemlama
Definitely yes https://www.google.it/amp/bgr.com/2018/02/12/apple-watch-sales-vs-swiss-watch-industry/amp/
Edemlama
https://www.statista.com/chart/12878/apple-watch-vs-swiss-watches/
serenityfast
Since when are switch watches all watches?
Edemlama
Since the Swiss watch makers had the biggest market share and Apple outsold them it means they outsold everyone else....
Edemlama
Cumulatively they are still on top but brand by brand apple outsold every single decent watch maker
derschweiz
He was all about money/making racketeering schemes, he’d be proud of apple today...

Yeah but they're not doing the part where they make people feel like they're releasing an amazing new technology which isn't amazing or new.

derschweiz
Ummm yea? Sure? Seems a bit off topic but yep, lots of companies are only after that bottom line...
bbirbb
Google/Android at least sticks to industry standards (micro USB, USBC) and doesn't intentionally fuck older devices, forcing you to buy new.
FlatPlutoSociety
He'd be pissed about the forking product lines, though. He seemed to want to keep the number of products they sell as low as possible.
Hyippy
And avoid affordability at all costs
FlightRisk3154
He would be right to be pissed IMO. That is the very reason I abandoned Apple after my Iphone 4s. Cbf to keep up with 5/5s/5c or any others.
Pathologe
Yeah because that's the worst part
FlightRisk3154
I'm assuming sarcasm, so. Obviously it's not the worst part, it is just relevant to the comment without forcing an 'I hate Apple' Circlejerk
FlatPlutoSociety
Agreed. There's something to be said for simplicity of offerings. The "everything works together at all costs" philosophy died with Jobs.
LocalFrenchCroissant
What does cbf means ? Asking for a friend...
Theunstablebear
Aren't these products his invention tho? I'm fairly sure I read that he had products lined up for the next 10years after he passed.
callmethelizardqueen
No, just the 5s & 6, which were in development before he died.
KnightWang
What *is* racketeering? Does anyone know? At all?

I once played with a band called Los Racketeeros - does that count?

Good one, Krusty.
derschweiz
Yes, I was using hyperbole not actually accusing him of setting up a false investment opportunity and absconding with the financing...

Quite. I too was making a humorous quip about racketeering and the conundrum of it's application in criminal proceedings.

Yeah. Propaganda
DeadeicPrints
Back when the iPhone 4 was out i never had a better working phone, smooth and my ring tones didnt freaking change themselves. But i like my
DeadeicPrints
Galaxy much better. I prefer the expandable memory and hopefully they dont do the same bs with chargers.
XionicDragon
To be fair though they had to replace the chargers eventually , hopefully everyone just switches to USB C cables soon.
Thundamuffin
They did change chargers, but USB-C appears to be the upcoming standard replacing micro.
DeadeicPrints
When? Also i dunno what that means but my old old charger for random stuff still fits my Galaxy S7 lol
palmo
To be fair, this is the first time since 2016 that Apple has passed Samsung in market share. Android is still slightly more popular.
ThySausagePrince
Well, it took them long enough to catch up technologically, ironically while also using Samsung screens.
callmethelizardqueen
But it won't last long, since Samsung still has other phones coming out.
mybrothersmario
also all the other flagship phone makers, as well as budget flagships.
callmethelizardqueen
Yep. I have a Note, I can't live w/o the big screen & stylus, hubby gets $100 phns and uses them for years.

I switched to musicbee when itunes started crashing on my PC. It felt good to cut that last tie to Apple.

Let's make iTunes so you can only add ringtones directly to the phone from the computer and can only add apps on the phone! WCGW?
scottjaeger
shit, that's practically the foundation of the company!

Itunes is one of the reasons I jumped ship to android.

Found an old gift card from 2007 a while back. Never used iTunes before. Decided to sign up and redeem it. The process felt very 2007ish.

At least yours worked, eBay user scammed be about 5 years ago when I fairly recently tried to redeem my ‘Black Friday deal’. Never again!!

I used to think that Apple purposely made iTunes suck on Windows just to hurt that platform. Then I used iTunes on OS/X. No, it just sucks.

I can start a particle acceleratoron my android, I can't gift a ringtone to my mother on Itunes.
Conkerkid11
Can you gift a ringtone to your mother on Google Music?
VodkaReindeer
That sounds like an incredibly niche usage scenario.
Conkerkid11
Yeah, I'm an Android fanboy as well, but this comparison doesn't make any sense.

So sorry, autocarrot and voice recognition with hiccups. Was saying that I can do quite a lot on Android but Iphones makes it deliberately 1

bayesiancuttlefish
This. I was struggling with the stupid that is the Podcast app. Life improved immensely when I switched to Pocket Casts.
politelyinsulting
I use Podcast Addict. It's free, super customizable, & generally pretty great. Few bugs got patched recently.
IsThisGoingToBeAFutureTrend
Sounds like an ad
politelyinsulting
Sure? I love advertising completely free products to other people without being paid. Check it out or don't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
stupidfuntime
Yeah they made it really hard to keep up with my podcasts. I only use it driving and the stupid listen now thing doesn’t prioritize at all
FlatPlutoSociety
If you listen to podcasts frequently, pay for a good app. I use Pocket Casts (on Android, though), and it is worth the money ten times over.
stupidfuntime
So I get stuck listening to fucking shows that I finished months ago but stopped at the last minute over shows that came out today
Thebae
Is THAT why that fucking happens??? Fuck!
AltHorrorPunk
Is there even a way to play oldest to newest anymore. I swear I can’t find the settings.
RationalDiscourse
Just use Spotify. Not ALL podcasts make it on there but I’ve never had an issue and the list is growing. You can sort by release as well
AltHorrorPunk
I use Spotify when I'm on my PC but, I usually listen on my Ipod and I don't have premium. I make it work by just making a playlist.
hellomynameisnotimportanthallowedbethyname
If the settings exist, they’re winning hide and go seek championships year over year.

It’s so frustrating listening to shit that’s already come out! I had to individually click through like 50 episodes of revolutions
stupidfuntime
Then I got tired of it
AltHorrorPunk
I’ve been listening to a lot of LPOTL lately. I’ve taken to just adding them to play later in order one by one.
BluntSword
The only way to do that in iTunes is the put them into a playlist and sort that way. It's the only way without micromanaging.
AltHorrorPunk
That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing lately. I swear there was a setting before though.
BluntSword
There was but they decided to remove it. God knows why.

iTunes is the lousiest piece of shit ever. So user unfriendly, normal tasks are a nightmare. Im talking just the phone part, not music store

I don't understand why it requires CONSTANT updates, and why the file size is so firkin huge

Omg yes, almost once a week
