Apple’s Fall — The Dawn of Microsoft Fans
Apple Product (say, Apple 1 to N) is the Monkey-Man illustration of theory evolution to the evolution of consumer technology. It is still the same despite a few technology detectives gave a theory that Microsoft is innovating better than Apple recently (after seeing Surface Studio).
Microsoft has a good experience in duplicating the existing ideas, which would not impact much anywhere. Now they have become experts in stealing the core ideas from other companies. They are literally rewriting their Bible based on other religions.
The tagline for Windows 10 (2015), “Because the people who do are the ones who move the world forward”, which is shamelessly rephrased from Apple’s philosophy (1997), “Because people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do” is a clear evidence that they had understood Apple better than the customers and analysts.
Perhaps Steve clearly indicated who were the leader and the follower when he said, “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower”.
Microsoft and other tech giants are still waiting for Apple to make its next move, because it is Apple that people follow and it is Apple that has the capability to push the technology further(even MKBHD proposed the same theory about Apple). Apple fans are so rude they have made fun of the geniuses, who had predicted that Apple would see a drastic drop in sales of iPhone 7. They simply upgraded their older devices to the current ones.
Apple still has the advantage of taking the technology their way. What people see might not be what Apple is actually doing. For example, the removal of headphones from iPhone 7 might be an indication that Apple is moving towards a complete wireless device, whose trial version is iPhone 7 (there is even rumors about wireless charging for iPhones in the future). The W1 chip found in Apple Airpods could possibly be that next big thing. You simply command the Airpod and Siri does that for you, but how? A detailed post about it will be released soon.
Coming back to Microsoft, their next move is to tie-up with Ubuntu (not for Cloud server this time, but for their PC). Oh! Microsoft should be happy that Steve Jobs is not alive, if he were, he would have made Microsoft regret this decision just with his insults. Insulting the idiots was Steve’s hobby and Microsoft had never missed a chance for keeping Steve busy with his hobby.
Remember! People buy Microsoft, not because they are fans of Microsoft, but because they do not want to be a fan of Apple or Linux. Apple has its vision of making great products, but Microsoft simply sells whatever they make by using marketing tactics. Apple is crazy rich to kill its own products for a better innovation, but can Microsoft dare to even think about it?
Thank you “sudden Microsoft fans” for giving us an opportunity to admire at Steve Jobs even more.
