The Macalope Weekly: Weak sauce

20.10.2012

Is the bulk of the innovation done? And, yes, I know its easy to say that Apple always thinks of something new, but the reality is that the last few iterations of iPhone have been evolutionary and not revolutionaryand, arguably, they now lag the market.

You could always argue they lagged behind the market. People have been doing that for five years. The first iPhone only had EDGE! It didnt have a replaceable battery! Total deal killer!

Its astounding how some analysts will simply cling to this checkbox mentality no matter how many times we point out that Apple doesnt operate that way. And the company doesnt seem any worse for not trying to get into a stupid arms race.

Another issue I would raise is how unfriendly Apples suppliers have been to their employees.

Of you would. After all, trying to throw everything against the wall to see what sticks is your shtick.
