@tatiGmail Apple's strength used to be innovation and industrial design. Now they take a year to simply bump the specs on the internals with no attempt at all to DO any industrial design or innovation. Heck - the most interesting item announced was Siri (assuming it works well) and they had to BUY that.
iPhone is still a very solid offering, and they'll sell a ton of them. But today marked the first day of the new era where Apple quit defining the industry, and turned into just a competitor trying to keep up.
The fact that this corresponds right down to the month of Job's departure shouldn't be meaningful (since he was there for the work on this device), but it is awfully ironic.
If I were Cook, I'd have a sign stapled to my forehead: "No More Complacency".
