    thats dictatorship vs democracy; I am talking about a consumer product

    Apple is now clearly showing the signs of threatened contender with bigger iPhone and the watch which is clearly pushed out quicker than it should be for consumers to be prototype testers as android watches are closing in to their 2nd generation.

    And my whole point is I remember Apple to be the original company which made others feel that they are falling behind .. what happened?

    (cue in some android fanboy posting video of how Apple stole UI from xerox and they were never original)

    I'm not sure 'original' is a word which can be leveraged at Apple all that often.

    They didn't invent the mouse, the all in one, the smart phone, the mp3 player, online music stores or the tablet but they've arguably "revolutionised" or improved upon each of those once other companies have laid the ground work.

    The only originality, imo, they're renowned for is their insistence on a walled garden. Something which other tech companies are now seeking to emulate.

    I think that the Apple Watch will sell in the hundreds of millions despite its fairly fugly appearance. But that's also a good thing for the sector as a whole as other companies will have to innovate with more exciting technology to try to undercut the marketing machine of Apple.

  • Literally just edited my post :P

    I use the word original in the Picasso (Piccasan?) sense.

    This looks original to me.
