Summary
Apple took a huge leap in software and hardware enhancement. Apple redesigned and added new features for iOS 7 that will be released in following fall. Despite some critics argue that there was no groundbreaking evolution in mobile device software, the newly released design and features had received compliments from some experts and users. In addition to software, Apple also released new Macbook Air with 12 hours long battery. However, there was no "groundbreaking innovation," and many people are grieving that there is no such "innovations" that Jobs had made in the past years.
My opinion
Apple's new items may be attractive; however, it would be still far to catch up the consumers who already turned their face toward Samsung and other Android devices. Especially in Korea, Apple's popularity (Mac and iPhone) is shrinking very fast, and Apple would not able to regain its fame unless it takes an outstanding leap as Jobs has done. Anyway, Apple's constant recession may be good for Korean companies since they can sell more cellphones to other countries while the number of cellphones imported to Korea is decreasing. (Kinda trade surplus in cell phone?)
I learned ios 7 design will be really attractive. Actually i did have much interest in Iphone, but i think recent ios 7 is sooo COOOOOL!! Good job, Apple! But as you said, Apple is not maintaining fame that they had in the past. Anyways, the more competitive they become, the better phone will be released soon.
ReplyDeleteI want to buy a new laptop and tablet so the article about iOS 7 made me open my eyes hugely. However, I became have to think deeply since I could just agree with you even though Apple is one of company where I want to buy. I wish computer company included Apple to make groundbreaking innovation.
ReplyDeleteThe designs are good and nice. This is the consumarism effort! The producers proved themselves to be effective. That will increase the sales
ReplyDeleteDespite various conflicts with Samsung, Apple is struggling to survive in the IT market. Consumers have more choices of products. I want to get one if the price is low.
ReplyDeleteios7!! that has been on the list of most entered keyword on google! I really want to see.
ReplyDeleteWow... It is really awesome. I want to have it right now!! I agree with Colin that people would not buy much products because they already have turned back on Apple.
ReplyDeleteI think the new layout of the iOS could benefit many people. It seems much more easier and efficient to use. Too bad I won't be getting it for my iPod though.
ReplyDeleteI think the conflicts between Samsung and Apple is a very good thing because it makes them to compete each other and provide better quality products in lower price to us.
ReplyDeleteSo,whose fault is it? Tim Kook?
ReplyDeleteEven though iOS7 isn't that great, it is true that apple has one of the most advanced technology in the world.
