Remember when the NeXT guys were in charge and Apple was innovative? It's been more than a decade. Well, the stock price is up and that is all that matters.

Making coloured iMacs certainly is not innovative by any strecth of the imagaination, neither is making a big deal about a purple coloured
iPhone, but Apple Silicon chips are highly innovative and beat the
{beep} out of all the others in most ways. Putting what is bascially a
full computer CPU into a tablet is somewhat innovative.
Apple is not always been innovative, in fact little of what they have
done or do is actually "innovative". Often they have "come late to the party", but with a much better product. The most obvious examples being
Apple didn't invent the smartphone or tablet computer, but they
certainly created the general market desire for them via products that
looked great and actually work better than the competition.
Much of Apple's actual innovation is in the small details and the
thousands of patents they have for various little things (much of which
they don't actually use in any products).

I also can tell when a company stops innovating, dipshit.

Obviously not, since Apple hasn't stopped innovating.
Stay dumb, idiot.

Hey Jolly Roger,
I don¹t necessarily agree that Apple has stopped innovating entirely but Wizard1969 makes a good point about how firing the NeXT developers right after Steve Jobs died ,
I think particularly Scott Forstall and John Browett
has made at least the software end of things stagnant.
You were also the
one that opened up with the dumb ad-hominem against him instead of arguing a point.

Fake news. Apple didn't do that. But since you mention it, Avie Tevanian leaving in 2006 (five years *before* Steve died) was *definitely* a Good Thing. His utterly revolting Technical Note 2034 nearly drove long-time Apple developers away from the Mac platform in droves, it was so
anti-Apple in nature. What a complete shit show that was! Good riddance.
