Apple...what are you becoming?

There's a lot of things that I look forward to in coming years. Christmas..Birthdays..and new Apple product announcements (even though I don't own anything apple). I think their products are great regardless if I have the money to throw at them whenever a new product appears. They often push the envelope on giving us the sweetest new edge of sexy gadgets that can do the newest things sooner than anyone else is issuing them out...until now.
Just look at this thing. Looks like a steaming pot full of awesome gadgetry. And you'd be wrong. Just see what's different. If you said bigger screen then that's correct. If you knew the specs of it than you know they have a faster processor and a better face time camera. But then I wish Steve jobs was still here to tell us "One more thing" but sadly what you see is what you get. I mean this isn't necessarily a bad thing. It definitely in my opinion needed a bigger screen and sure a faster processor is excellent if you want to stay ahead of the game but what else is there? Last year it was Siri being the hot new thing in 4s devices. Year before that it was the face time cam that was revolutionary. But now ..what does this thing boast? Basically what it's doing is what every other cell phone maker was doing for years. Put in a faster processor and huger screen, maybe a better camera and here you go (go crazy).

My rant isn't all on this phone but what the company is becoming. This was supposed to be an event that showed this company can still be innovative and strong without Steve jobs since as he claims the company is stood upon great people. But it takes vision to get all those great people to work beautifully together. Sadly that vision seems to be gone...6 feet under in Jobs grave. If this is what the new Apple is becoming into then it may be the beginning of mediocrity for Apple. And the start of many weeping Apple fans.
