My real gripe with Apple other than the ALGORE left tilt is they’ve turned into a me-too company. Their products have but a 6 month lead.

Since the iPhone nothing really innovative has been put forward. The iPad was a first but really nothing more than a swollen iPhone without a phone, and the watch was a 2nd or 3rd and is but a shrunken iPhone without a phone.

They are living in the past on profits for services that you can get elsewhere.

Which opinion shows you really do not have a clue about what you are talking about. You're wrong. You don't have any idea about what innovation is. It is obvious you don't use the products and don't experience how they work together which is one of the greatest innovations Apple has created that no one else has matched. Every other company's ecosystem is a kludge in comparison, dependent on third-party apps to get a poor simulation of what Apple does.

What you claim is a "me too" company is when Apple does it, it actually works, and is not a kludge that people have to assemble themselves from disparate parts and apps from multiple sources which works across all of Apple's devices, not just a selected few. A good example is that Apple's current iOS version 8.4.1 is installed on 92.5% of all iOS devices in the wild just one year after it was released. . . and they all will connect back with hand-off to Mac OS X. Android? Only 15.5% of Android users are on Android 5 Lollipop. When you add Android 4.4 Kitkat, it only rises to 54.8%, almost two years after Kitkat was released.

Show me a tech company that doesn't have a leftward tilt. . . it's hard to find one that doesn't have one, unfortunately.
