Unfortunately I agree. It sounds like a frustrating process, but people LOVE to hate Apple these days. And Apple is letting it happen. When you stop innovating and creating things people love, you allow yourself to take jabs. Maintaining and monetizing the hell out of what you already have seems like a good idea on paper, but it doesn't seem to be working out so well for Apple at this point.
Like Apple makes no money, nobody buys its products, etc.?
Can we stop this "innovation" bullshit? Do you even know what you want (gimmics don't count). What kind of innovation do you expect from Samsung in its next phone? From Google in next Nexus? Coffee maker and kitchen sink? Or do you want them radically changing UI, just because someone got bored?
How often do you want them to innovate, once a month or once in three monts would be enough?
