They are starting to be like any other manufacturer now. Releasing too many products, too many variations i.e Samsung/HTC
I do love Apple stuff, it get's me excited.
When Jobs was gone last time, the company went down the pan, I have a feeling it'll do again but he won't be able to come back and fix things, as he'll be having too much fun with Elvis!
Shame really.
I don't even think that's the problem at Apple. I think they're making the same mistakes that Nokia, Blackberry and all of the other "biggies" made, that is that they're peddling water.
iOS6 was terrible, as best it could be described as a point release of iOS5.
Their reluctance (arrogance?) to listen to their users is their biggest downfall.
What must be the biggest gripe since iOS2 is the inability to remove the stock apps from the home screen. Come on Apple, this is BASIC stuff.
Tethering is abysmal, quite why it needs to be locked into carrier settings is odd, Apple control the carriers - not the other way round.
Voicemail, why the f**k can't you set the voicemail number?
Default apps, little support for replacing OS functionality with third party apps.
Widgets. Come on, it's 2013.
The lack of "development" on iOS6 was a major contributing factor for me moving to Android, something which I never thought would happen.
Hardware is meh, it's very difficult to create "wow" hardware now because at the end of the day there's not really that much more you can add to a phone, but software is what defines the experience and they have let things slip.
They changed the smartphone market, they defined what a smartphone was and how it should behave, I think they need to remember this.
