5
Reasons I Love and
Hate Apple
Apple Products are
Great But I
Don't Love Them
Unconditionally
Here are 5 Reasons I Love Apple and Hate Apple
...
My love of Apple Products is balanced by my frustration with Apple over some of its abandonment of Creatives in favor of the larger Consumer
Market. Those of us who have used Apple for
Creativity, for
Photography,
Film, and
Music have been thrown under the bus in favor of people who want to look at pictures, watch movies and listen to music.
Apple
Abandoned Creatives, there is really no other way to put it. Yet creative professionals love apple and defend them against legitimate criticism. My criticism of Apple is actually as a fan of the products. I'm not an Apple
Fanboy, I'm an Apple Fan who feels like Apple abandoned creatives like me completely instead of just expanding to appeal to consumers.
Apple discontinued
Aperture. Apple mismanaged
Final Pro X as an upgrade and turned it into "iMovie Pro". Apple through artist under the bus with
Apple Music until
Taylor Swift and her
Label spoke up and called them out. Apple hasn't done significant updates and support for
Logic Pro or
Garage Band.
These things happened. And that is why I feel Apple abandoned creatives for a cash grab from pure consumers. All of their innovation and product development over the past few years has been centered around consumers in the broad market, and not us creatives who saw them through the hard times and were loyal.
The iPhone and iPad have had continues updates and new features. But the
Mac Pro hasn't seen a product update since
2013 and is still at the same price
point and marketed against new competing technology. The Mac Pro in that regard lives up to its unfortunate nick-name "trash can", even though it is a sleek impressive machine the Mac Pro is outdated and not truly upgradeable.
The iPhone SE was introduced practically to recycle the iPhone 5s body with iPhone 6s features. I'm all for Apple
Renew but this phone wasn't really necessary or groundbreaking. The resources put into the iPhone SE could have been put towards refreshing a different Apple
Product Line, like the Mac Pro.
Speaking of Apple Renew, I love that program and the green environmental initiatives Apple is taking.
I also feel that the iPad Pro should have had the
Mac OSX operating system, come with a keyboard and the Apple pencil should have been included for the price. How can you call it an iPad Pro and try to compete with the
Microsoft Surface Pro when you're not bringing everything in your arsenal to the table. Also the iPad Pro and
Apple Pencil don't let you flip the
Pencil to erase, when ironically the
Microsoft Surface Pen does exactly that. The iPad Pro is a cool device and I'm buying one, but it didn't live up to my expectations from a company that touts user experience as a virtue of its products acts so superior.
The
Macbook Pro is long overdue for and update. The Macbook Pro product line doesn't even have the latest generation processors and the Macbook Pro still doesn't have touch-screen in a world where nearly all their competitors do. We may see a Macbook Pro with touch-screen in 2017 now that there is the Apple Pencil as a standalone product. Also the Macbook, really?
