My newly-arrived iPhone 6 Plus seems perfectly robust. I love it. What's all the whinging about? You'd have to go mad at it to bend this.
As to the new stuff, well, I'll have to save up for anything new, but I think it likely I'll be staying put regardless. My earnest wish, should I ever have the good fortune to get it, would be a top-spec Mac Pro for all my server and virtualisation duties; then I could give up on hounding the Minis all the time. The iMac--despite the fact that I keep plugging in optical drives, I'll keep my mid 11. iPad--nah, time to step off that bandwagon, I fancy, and not just because the iPhone 6 really is big enough for my needs. The current full-sized iPad Air is just fine, and I don't need anything else. The watch can wait until it's proven. So really, the Mac Mini, if I don't cast it aside and keep saving up for a Pro, which Apple is well within its power to ensure doesn't happen. Much as I love Apple products, I happen to agree with those who worry about the incremental nature of recent announcements. Not sure what the problem is there; perhaps Apple should go back to touting functionality rather than specs, which is always a losing battle for Apple nowadays. And their costs too; something needs to be done about those, or else Apple will end up in the same place with iOS as it is for the Mac ecosystem, which is actually showing some gratifying growth. Now that Windows 9--sorry, 10--is announced, with Windows 7-compatible metaphors, it remains to see whether that trend will continue, or whether it wasn't just the Windows 8 escapists gasping for a quick breath of usability. It'd be the ultimate irony if Micros~1 failed yet again, and Mac gained market share not because of some intrinsic superiority, but simply that the alternative was much worse. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
