Yeah, I always believe whatever nonsense fictional characters named after a rival’s products claim! I’ve NEVER trusted M$, and while I’m not a fan of Apple’s recent decisions, they’re at least reliable. With one, you get the cheapest product available, while with the other, you get functioning products that warrant their prices.

Just wait a couple years, I’ve worked for a cellphone repair company since the 3GS was the latest phone, and was the first one to open the iPhone 4 with its Retina display, and back then, your statement was completely true, Apple was the shit, Android sucked and windows phone was right there with android(on the sucking front) but I watched as the Samsung’s and lg’s and Motorola’s caught up to the iPhone and surpassed them, Apple used to be the great innovator but ever since Steve jobs died(rest in peace) Apple has slowed way down on innovation and their launches of new phones have always been plagued with defects that were sweep under the rug. Don’t get me wrong the other companies also had issues and had to have recalls(cough cough galaxy note 7 cough) but they are now better phones than the iPhone and iPads and the windows computers and surface pros are better than MacBooks nowadays. I’ll be selling my stock as soon as it dips 15%

Each time I think Microsoft have finally reached the bottom, they prove I’m wrong, can someone please tell them to go them selves.

This is genius, Apple would have never have thought of this until someone else did it, now watch them copy this like they do everything else

This brings to mind the old Apple and PC ads where the two guys stood side-by-side and the PC was always fumbling and bumbling everywhere. Microsoft doesn’t effect Apple sales at all. Apples answer for a surface is the iPad. Laptops and desktops don’t need a touch screen, it’s just a gimmick so Microsoft can do something different than Apple to sell their computers. Let’s all remember Apple was the first with a touchscreen tablet and they still do it better than any competitor. Sure it’s stemmed innovation for other companies like Samsung with phone and tablets and Microsoft with their surface devices and failed phones but apple still does it better and proves it with their market cap and earnings year after year.
