Shame.

Although I strongly dislike the bastards who work for Apple because they are money grabbing and think they are something, I do appreciate the work this bloke did.

As Niall said he turned the company round in 10 Years from going bankrupt to being worth more than America's government [something like that].

RiP Man.

How are they money grabbing Paddy. IMO they are one of the most generous companies.

The iPhone 4S is a prime example of the fact they're money-grabbing tbh, as cool as it looks it really is the same with Siri and a slightly upgraded camera yet they made it out to be a lot more with that fancy tech stuff. It's really not that big. But people will be convinced and want one. I'd like one of them, but if I had an iPhone 3GS or 4 I would stick to that.

Yea I agree, it's not a big leap, but it's the same as from the 3G to the 3GS. It's not realistic or feasible for you to expect a completely redesigned product every year.

And it's actually a bigger jump than you might think. The test pictures are amazing and the Siri stuff looks like the future, if admittidly a bit awkward.

Tbh I think it is geared to those on 2 year contracts who want to upgrade from the 3GS to get iOS and the a5 chip.

I think they are generous because if you break your product just take it to the store, be nice and 9.9/10 they will replace it free of charge regardless of warranty. Also eg the iPad. Notice how no other company (the kindle fire excluded) cannot make an iPad experience for apple price.

Their products aren't all that unaffordable anymore and for the amount they give away, their amazing customer service and the experience of their devices i feel the prices are justified.

I dont like the look of Siri, its just pointless. I'll just check the weather app on my iPhone 4 rather than speak to the phone like a twat for the sake of saving 2 seconds

Their customer service is appalling at the 2 stores near me.

Patrick lives in Belfast. Not governed by the Irish government. Also your sentence sounds just so hopelessly retarded.

Well done on fulfilling two popular stereotypes of American people.
