Default Awesome year for Apple

No doubt our resident fanatic will say it was an amazing year.



Apple's not very good, really quite poor 2016

Apple Watch 2, iPhone 7, MacBook Pro, lots of new stuff that I didn't buy, incredible performance from my existing devices, great year.

Now Samsung, they'll want to forget this year, what a disaster. I got the train to the Aiport in Hong Kong, the stations were decorated throughout with adverts for the Note 7. Then they were advertising at the airport how to hand them in, danger of death! What a year.

Typical Jack, probably need glasses.

Have you seen my post about Apple sales declining, across the entire board.

I mentioned it a few times all year it seems and yet in true Tim Cook fashion...

its a tremendous year folks, guess all them dongles are selling well eh.

On the other hand you have it seems made a few friends here who can be your slave.

Here's the thing Captain Custard what you do is you scour the internet looking for a negative that you can wave around like the ***** you wish you had. Yes, sales do seem to be down in certain areas, like my house for instance, Apple have built such great devices they're lasting longer than expected, you jump on that as if the world is collapsing, while people who own the products are happily saving money and will be more than happy to invest again later.

Think of those two types of people, one looking for negatives and one with a positive experience, you can change your focus TP, it's not to late.

You slate Apple for removing the headphone jack, it is news, it took courage, but you'll soon forget how awful they were when you buy your next phone. It's the same every time, we know your ilk.

You've made friends here TP, actually maybe not, but you have made people laugh.

I wonder if he's still yet to realise the irony in calling you a troll and yet continuing to spam the C&T section with all this nonsense.

This just shows how blinkered his Apple envy is, Motorola binned off the headphone port on one of his beloved Android devices way before Apple and he didn't say a thing. Yet as soon as Apple do, he's on it like a tramp on chips.
