Meh!! I thought u always licked their as.s.

You thought wrong. Im in the habit of kissing arses to MAKE money. I dont kiss arses to SPEND money. So there.

Ther followers are blind, they haven't innovated anything since the demise of Steve Jobs and all they do now is copy copy and copy but they act like they are the boss.

I dont know what you mean by innovation. To me 64bit is innovative, motion co-pro is innovative, Taptic Engine is innovative, 240 frame slomo is innovative. Except if you're comparing with samsung and consider a range of gimmicks as innovation.

Look! A curved screen! Yay, go science!

Pah.

As for copying: well, who was found guilty of copying and ordered to pay? Samsung!

Apple started the whole craze: accelerometers, gyroscopes, proximity sensors, sealed batteries, gorilla glass, capacitive multitouch, pinch to zoom, slide to unlock, glass panels, etc. Hell even the current samsung offerings look so much like the iphone, including sealed batteries, no Sdcards, even the earpods.

Guess what, their stylus is called Apple Pencil

Well, there once was a little device called the Apple Newton which had a touchscreen and stylus, way back in the early 1990s.

and would be sold for $100 , after paying a whopping $1000 for a tablet . WTF, why are they f..king stingy and greedy?

If it says "Pro", it's not meant for you. In any case the iPad mini is very much cheap for all you scrooges. Or you can try a Galaxy Note.

ollah1:
You wanna know more, its still 1GB RAM and 750P(HD) in late 2015 when phone like Z5 has UHD.

Goodluck having the Z5 premium set the world on fire. How many UHD TVs have you even seen? Or 4k content? 4k is overkill on a mobile device, except for when VR goes mainstream. And the Z5 is 4k only some of the time. For most usage it dumbs down to good old 1080p, so nyah!

And the iphone, with its meager 1gb and dualcore, is more fluid than your octacores (decacore is coming) and 4gb rams. That's smart design! So double nyah!!

ollah1:
See ehn, the company is too greedy with specs but they will scream optimization. Isn't windows optimised enough to come with 2GB RAM and 1080P? isn't macintosh optimised enough to come with 16GB RAM. Inorder words, no true multi tasking for iPhone 6s.

Sheeps will always be sheeps tho cos it would still sell.

Welcome to late 2013

No one buys their hardware just for specs. When steve jobs introduced the original iphone, the emphasis was on software. In that period Nokia was king of the hill, and what was Nokia known for? Killer hardware, poor software? So where's Nokia now? Same thing happened to Blackberry.

While the android world is littered with behemoths packing powerful and excessive hardware (and still lag) just to accommodate an OS centered around a virtual machine (Dalvik and ART), Apple nimbly gets by with modest hardware and clever software.

Why do you think Nexus devices focus more on pure android than raw specs?

And dude, windows cant be optimised for crap. You optimize based around a target hardware combo. Wintel is based around diversity of hardware, so how do you optimise for the myriad of hardware choices and OEM idiosyncrasies out there?

Apple is neither xiaomi, nor is it samsung. It doesnt have to cater for a broad spectrum of customers simply by designing no-margin products (xiaomi), or tossing everything haphazardly at the wall to see what sticks (samsung)

Apple is Apple, catering for people with taste and without the time to start messing around with memory cards, drivers, root and whatnot. Apple is the Burberry of phones. Apple is the Bentley of gadgets. Those without style, substance or purchasing power can step into those Tecno booths!


I make my purchasing decisions baswd on need and budget. Ive a mixture of devices, my next purchase will be the Elephone Vowney. I dont buy specs nor brand. I buy what i feel serves my purpose.

Oh, and those sheep? Totally outclassed the lifeless droids.

mightyhaze:
An individual commits a crime,a whole race is been attacked.

Stop trying to be clever by half. What do you mean a single individual? Are you trying to downplay the frequency with which such news make nairaland frontpage?

You cannot deny that an overwhelming proportion of drug dealers, kidnappers, robbers, scammers, counterfeiters etc are igbo. If you dont believe, read every post on nairaland about the people behind such activities. Besides, we live with biafrans and know first hand their criminal shenanigans.

mightyhaze:
Are we actually programmed 2 b ds unreasonable in ds country or wat? Crime is crime n shd be condemned by all,regardless of tribe,but castigatin a race jst because of one bad egg is nuffn short of stupidity! Just like condemnin d whole north because of one kabiru sokoto or the whole s.w because of one ritualist Or cannibal in soka forest.

Oho! So when your people were having a field day insulting us as "aboki", "illiterates", "boko haram", "jihadists" etc, where was your outrage?

When your people call every northerner a boko haram sympathizer, where was your protest?

When your people were calling yorubas "ritualists", where was your indignation?

If you've been active on nairaland long enough to notice we point at igboes for their nefarious ways, then you've equally been here long enough to notice the general insults against northerner and westerner alike by your people.

martineverest:
Apple has lost it.steve jobs laughed at using stylus and swore neva to introduce or bundle it with apple product..just 5yrs later,ipad pro comes with stylus.jobs must be crying.
Apple have lost its innovative quality.copying microsoft surface pro 3 tablet have shown dat microsoft is gradually leading the tablet war.After reading apple fans reaction to launch of ipad pro on theverge.com and imore.com,the new ipad is doomed to fail.it ll take special efforts for apple to win surface tablet fans over.as 4 samsung,dey are gradually loosing the smart war to microsoft...apple dif with jobs

Tim cook has to be his own man. When steve jobs dissed stylus in 2007 the entire mobile devices landscape was different, dominated by those shitty WinMo devices with resistive screens.

Ipad pro is meant for "pros" , not the Netflix generation.

As for the iphones we all knew what was coming with the "s" suffix.

Apple Watch, meh. Never expected much. There's only so far you can take that form factor.

Im just more concerned with the Apple Tv. All that hype, just to get a rebranded Roku?

Apple is not doomed, not yet. But its on course.

Ps: Microsoft is not leading the tablet war by profit or market share. Apple is. But still, the pro makes for a very good laptop. Its tablet capabilities are still questionable with windows being such a terrible mobile os.

AAinEqGuinea:
Btw, so cute to see Microsoft featured on stage

I guess Apple's Pages, Numbers, etc are official failures

Nah. Hard core apple fans swear by iwork. Office is just for the recent converts.

I still think Microsoft won with the Surface

Double post removed.

remotecontrol:
explain 3D touch

Laziness!

It's just a fancy name for pressure sensitive screen technology. It allows new interactions based on the pressure you apply onscreen

bakila:
What! Whaaaat! I thought you was joking. Did he do that in the public?

Yep.

He did.

Big time.

New devices.

iphone 6s with new Force-Touch screen (which Apple calls 3D Touch)

iPad Pro with 12.9 inch screen, Apple Pen stylus, keyboard etc

"cripple" is politically incorrect and offensive.

"Disabled" is preferable.

"person with physical disability" much better.

tchidi:
Here's mine....made this last week.

Best Egusi I've ever seen.

IGBOE

The mob wanted to lynch him, but when he spoke igbo they said "Ah, no be thief, na hustler. Oya, begin go, get rich or die trying tins na"

Igboe na bastard

chukwudi44:
Now the amiable and people loving Governor can continue on with the laudable projects he has embarked upon since he was sworn in!!

Which one you collect, rice or chicken?

SeverusSnape:
When I say "Jihadist", you may be included, because most of you northerners support them.

no we dont support them. it's us they're killing.

you people support them, since you cheer and say "aboki killing aboki, none of my concern"

SeverusSnape:
And mind you, The Army is doing the job, not the "government", There's nothing good about this government led by the dull'ard (for now).

And the head of government is the commander in chief. i guess you were sleeping when he changed service chiefs, directed them to move HQ to Ground Zero, and ordered BH to be crushed in months.

SeverusSnape:
By the way you Almajiri, What brought "Biafra" into this discussion??...

glad you yourself called it "Biafra", for a fraud it is

SeverusSnape:
Now I know why you people are illiterates.

Mr Severed Snake, illiteracy is not a crime.

We would gladly be illiterates million times over than be criminals, robbers, drug dealers, kidnappers, fake drug sellers, drug dealers, rapists, counterfeiters,smugglers, burglars, drunks, baby factory runners, gun runners, scammers, thugs, bandits, vagabonds, vagrants, vermin, miscreants, nuisances.

Infact, we'd gladly be stark illiterates than igboe.

The only good igboe is a dead igboe.

Non-removable batteries actually mean non-user replaceable batteries. The batteries can be swapped out when they go bad, either by yourself (if you're ok with tearing innards, take a look at ifixit.com) or paid techs.

IGBOES!

They're so punctual in hitting the front page with their crimes on can almost set one's watch on it.

And these are the people asking an anti-corruption government for positions!

Igboe na bastard

ObongOluomo:
Where they come from or what part of Nigeria they are doesn't matter,they are Nigerians simple and short.
Don't start being tribalistic Jor!

These are Biafrans

Pls stop abusing Nigerians

Bonapart:
Boo harry children are in trouble

If we are to truly probe every one in that country Nigeria, even the so called president will be in trouble

hahaha

is there a factory where fools like you are manufactured at discount?

so buhari would order his troops to move the army HQ to borno and wipe out BH even though they're "his children" and there's the danger he'd be exosed and thus be "in trouble"?

you're so silly it's beyond belief

smh.

melzabull:
you mean fake like oluwole forgery? you are a useless yorubaboon.

Worthless son of a yorubastard father

Ashaawo.

no vex becos dem deport you from italy.

Sorry.

DJI Phantom is an existing drone.

Invent my arse.

You were doing ok until you got to tonto dikeh.

machi25:
The word of God says 'by his stripes we are healed 'and that I should declare a thing and it shall be established,therefore I declare healing upon you prince Uche in the name of Jesus. With the power in the blood shared on the cross of Calvary, I command every imperfections in your health to be made perfect in Jesus name, amen. You are healed mr Uche

*silence*

Cheep-cheep-cheep *crickets in the background.

Nothing happened o. Still sick.

Billygee2u:
my Beloved Biafrans, it's high time to rise and defend our land,brothers and sisters as the useless malam aboki Arase, called police IG ,has directly declared war against the Igbos.
burn any police station that will arrest any MASSOB or IPOB member,kill all the police that is seen troubling the actualization of Biafra.
Arase come and arrest me,nothern baboon foolish aboki.
the reasons why bubuharidullardinho appointed his kinsmen to the key positions,are gradually manifesting.
Buhari is Anti-Igbos

Foolish Igbo keyboard warrior. You're hiding behind the internet to spew rubbish. Oya, unmask yourself and go kill a cop or burn a cop shop if you can.

Go school you no gree. How did IG Arase become a northerner?

I pray the IG will change his order to shoot at sight.

I quickly rushed in thinking na igboes when i saw the word "fake"

Im disappointed.

Still, IGBOE NA BASTARD

Good

So all those pot-belly'd brigadiers, prison wardens, road safety, and bank armored trucks can no longer threaten us on the roads.

This order is a long time coming.

Arrest those Igbo baboons. Every single igboe or anyone who looks like an igboe (flat head, squat nose, shifty eyes, suspicious etc) should be arrested.

Useless criminals.

Meanwhile the other fools saying the order should be against boko haram are hereby reminded that there's already a war going on against BH. So what are you people saying?

I hope this will finally lead to the long-threatened biafran war part 2 so that we can finally finish off these crooks.

Shege nyamiri dan buro-uba

PS: If you type "flat-head" without the hyphen, Nairaland automatically translates it to "Igbo"

SWEET!!

Igbo

So this is what the once vaunted PDP has been reduced to? sleepy, broken, withered old men fawning before their idol who's now nothing more than a pensioner.

Who could've forseen this?

Hubris, thy name is card reader.

EasternLionn:
Who doesn't know the zoo is only big economy on paper?

Zoo imports everything.

And your Igbo brothers are the major importers

When i saw "prettytasha" i was hoping to see someone genuinely pretty.

Im sorry, but you're not.

Im suing you for false advertising.

ba7man:
I wonder what kind of people support a woman like that??

And GEJ will say he empowered women with his administration by encouraging people like Ogar

Too true.

And the greatest undoing of GEJ was orchestrated by the women.

Diezani
NOI
Patience
Ogar
Atteh
Oduah

emperorceaser:
lmao... Who cares
Did he tell us how much he embezzled... Which can't be denied ..

Nigerian politics is a big joke... the politicians tell us what we want to hear... And do what they feel is better for them....
