> What has post-Jobs Apple done?

The Airpods are one of the most successful products ever



That blows my mind.

I walk by an apple store regularly, its full of people standing around, even at like 2pm on a weekday.

I'm always confused. What are those people doing?

I get buying apple products, I generally don't, but they're good at somethings and bad at others, so you know, choices.

But why go to an apple store, much less stand around? Apple products are just generic at this point. There's a new phone, which is exactly the same as the last 10 phones. Or a laptop or a tablet, etc.


They’re probably waiting for someone to bring back their iPhone with a replaced screen after they dropped it.

This is way too much of an exaggeration to be taken with any amount of seriousness! If you can’t see the huge upgrades in capabilities over the last 10 phones, you’re not the target customer for any smartphone and haven’t been paying attention to the announcements every year.


10 might be a slight exageration but this is probably more just a reflection of being old and jaded and stuff.

Personally every couple of years I buy the latest samsung phone, its a bit nicer, but not the kind of thing I need to go look at before buying. It's more like milk lol
