And of course there’s the fact that that market competes with every bluray player, most TVs, and the game systems. Not to mention just hooking up your PC to your TV.
Oh look and there you go to the insults. So typical. You insist everybody else is a troll but you can’t go 2 posts without insulting people who point out simple truths.
I said you were smarter than that. . . no insult.
“Use your head for more than a hatrack”
That is an insult, and you know it. Plus of course your usual whine about FUD.
Don’t think it’s the phone. I think it’s iOS 8 because my air 2 has experienced similar problems from time to time.
"And of course the cultists this is nothing like anything anybody else has ever done."
And doesn't this comment in this thread make you a "troll" or an "insulter"? I'd say it qualifies for both. . . mildly so.
You don’t need a game system for that. Could just use a chromecast, or firestick. Or heck since you’ve got the content on an external drive plug it straight into the TV. There’s a lot of ways to move content around your house these days.
Just pointing out that some people, without saying any particular person is in that group, will always insist Apple is first even when they aren’t. If you think that applies to you, well that’s your call to make.
Just don’t find Apple’s wall-garden products compelling. Boring because the next wave is commoditization (Windows10 on iOS, iOS on Windows10, cannabilization...... ) and virtualization.
That cannot be the case. . . iOS adoption rate is now at above 90% and over 600,000,000 users and very few are reporting problems. It has to be your phone.
Anyone who uses the term "cultist" to refer to over a billion people who have selected a product made by a particular company is choosing to deliberately insult them. . . you do that because you are the sheep who follow the more popular products.
I didn’t use the word cultist to refer to over a billion people. Plenty of people buy Apple products without insisting Apple did everything first. Much like how there are Beatles fans who enjoy the music but understand their actual place in history and Beatles cultists who insist they invented everything interesting in rock and roll even when members of the band acknowledge who they were copying.
I buy the product that best fits my needs. I’ve got no sense of self or ego tied to it. It’s just products for me.
You don't think that Apple OS X has virtualization? Sorry to disabuse you of that mistake, but I run EIGHT different OSes on my UNIX™ based OS X Mac. . . now including Windows 10, 8.1, 7, XP, a couple of Linux installs, UNIX™, and OS X, and I have occasionally, run them all simultaneously in sandboxed protected windows under OS X.
What "walled garden" are you blithering about? Ignorance of the Mac platform is bliss, isn't it, because you can post such twaddle and think you know everything.
No, you will not see "Windows10 on iOS" because Apple will not permit it. . . however, they will be allowing Microsoft Cortana on iOS as a service app. Neither will Apple be allowing "iOS on Windows10" because Apple is not selling their operating systems.
Perhaps you like the Russian Roulette of wide open, free for all, of open source accessibility in a mobile device such as Android, which has resulted in 98% of all malware on that platform and where 25% of the apps in the app stores is infected spyware and adware.
Spyware and Adware apps (let’s call them ad supported apps) can be found in Google Play – some of it is condoned – in return for free services - collecting information about you, your usage habits etc., in return for playing a game.The issue is that it may take some time to identify that you are infected – and by then it may have stolen your ID, passwords, sent out SMS or email and made your life miserable. The cure is a factory reset, change all your passwords (on the device and at the bank etc.) and carefully reinstall your apps – avoiding the dodgy ones.— Is Android a Malware Magnet?—by Ray Shaw—ITWire—April 2, 2015
Apple does not condone that behavior in Apps. Ads are OK for ad supported freeware, but NOT data-mining. Such behavior will get the developer a lifetime ban from Apple development and the pulling of all of his apps, including any paid apps, regardless of how lucrative those apps may be for Apple. Three years ago Apple pulled Camera+, the best selling app at the time, along with the developers entire suite of iPhone apps, because the developer stuck a backdoor into a free app that allowed some disallowed behavior. That pulled paid App was netting Apple over $3 million a month, not to mention the millions the developer was making on his 70%. The drastic penalties combines with aggressive curation prevent any attempts at getting such malware into apps.
Third party Android App stores have as much as 70% infected apps. There is a REASON for the mobile devices in Apple's ecosystem to be in a secure enclave. Android's ecosystem is a sieve.
Only the anti-Apple Hate Brigade read into what we post that "Apple did everything first." You seem to self-nominate yourself into that group by making that assumption. Apple was first with the multi-touch modern smartphone. They hold the patent on multi-touch capacitance screens. The only prior use capacitance screen on a phone was only single touch: the LG-KE850 Prada feature phone (using an Adobe Flash operating system), with only 8 megabytes of memory.
Here again YOU’RE deciding whether or not YOU are a cultist. We all know there’s folks out there that insist Apple did things first that they clearly did not. I didn’t say that you were in that list. And as for your shouting about multi-touch, who cares. Not part of this discussion.
My guess: Extra wifi hotspots and charging stations for nearly three times the attendees as last year in addition to Apple's own demonstration gear. You don't want feed glitches when nearly all of those people will be live-streaming the event!
I know I am not a member of a cult. . . you are the one throwing that epithet around, not i. You are also the one claiming that Apple fans claim that Apple invented everything with out evidence. . . and I challenged you to prove your false assertion.
I agree. Web is FULL of such complaints. I read Apple will swap phones for the rich sensitivity stopping. I find AdBlock browser much more reliable than Safari.
OS X may have virtualization but I have yet to see where iOS supports virtualization.
Everyone knows Apple is a walled-garden. Geesh. That does benefit them on many fronts (controlled access) but it is also a detriment.
There is already cross-porting of apps from iOS to Windows 10 and visa versa. Will this disintermediate the OS? Suspect it will, similar to Android apps on Blackberry 10.
Looking forward to Android and iOS apps running in a VM on QNX. Still run BB World productivitiy apps while providing a isolated VM for the toys of the world.
It doesn't and it won't. Why should it? If it did, then it would be as open to the malware as what is being virtualized. That's insane.
I’m having similar problems on my iPad. At this very moment, Safari decided to stop letting me copy words, sentences, and paragraphs. Can’t select a single bit of text except I can copy images.
