apple never innovated shit they just popularize what was already available and other big corps followed in their foot steps



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

True. Even gaming companies are given at least four years to reinvent genres.



Problem is, it's hard to create a "next big thing" at this point.

They can't get too far of what made them famous in the first place, but it's also dangerous to stay on the same spot.

Hate all you want, but the iPhone was a revolution upon release, even if it's not today.

To be honest, I'm still not a big fan of tablets. I've always been weirded out by the Cult of Personality around Apple. I feel like the Galaxy is way better than the iPhone. I guess we'll see.

But that's what innovation is, building on other ideas. Apple never said that they made the 1st MP3 player, smartphone, etc. They DO however, set the standard that the rest of industry follows.

No, Star Trek made a plastic slab.  If Apple came out with a working time machine, you'd say H.G. Wells made it first.

Same I have very little love for the tablets.



I think that champange gold iPhone 5S is going to sell like gangbusters.

Girls in particular are going to lose their mind when they see it IMO.

No one is really innovating in the smartphone category, aside from the trend of sticking monster cameras onto smartphones.

Apple needs to just bite the bullet and offer a 4.8 inch screen version of the iPhone.
