I kind of agree They appear to have lost all innovation,
There is no resembalence of looking forward to the next big feature If anything they seem to be copying what other do rather than finding the next thing themselves.

Here’s a guy who has totally rested on Steve Job’s laurels. Let’s think about it, exactly how much has the iPhone changed since Job’s death. Siri has completely stagnated, the shape is basically unchanged, the video processor hasn’t been changed in several versions, the Modems are now and have been consistently behind the times, and the big change is to add the Fingerprint censor to the rest of the product line? Really? Dropping the phone jack is the only brassy thing that Apple has done since 2012. Siri bothers me the most though because Apple was first and had a great idea that they squandered in my opinion. I will give them credit on developing the A10 processor which is a good thing (and the previous apple series processors) but let’s face it, that part of the operation is actually farmed out to another company. They need to breathe new life in to the design team and stop doing stupid things like buying karaoke car pool, Lyft and stop buying stolen headphone designs from Dr Dre who ripped them off from Monster cable’s designer. I’m not sure I’ll bother writing Tim Cook but I may go to the next stock holders meeting. The iMac is at least a chance to redeem themselves and it looks like they may, here’s hoping but it’s not that hard to design good laptops and PCs. They really just need to get it in gear.

Let’s look at the announcements recently from the 3 companies. Alexa continues to make strides with additional integration across multiple platforms and expanded languages and ability to parse complex sentences, Google takes things even farther allowing their units to distinguish between users by their voices, provides tight integration with hundreds of data sources and literally adds features on a biweekly basis, and Apple, what’s Apple announcing. Siri now can read your what’s app messages. (Big freaking whoop Apple). Google announces multiple voice recognition and the addition of real neural net technology and Apple can now read text messages from a 3rd party app. They have to do better. The iPhone is such a good phone in every way but then you’re stuck with Siri. You are letting us down Apple, you’re not innovating any more and you’re going to see folks like my self for example jump off the Apple band wagon and squarely on to the Google Pixel band wagon if you don’t get your act together. Here’s a link to the big announcement AKA Apple’s continued stagnation. http://www.redmondpie.com/siri-on-ios-10.3-can-now-read-out-new-whatsapp-messages-for-you/ -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
