They are just riding on his legacy.
Apple have billions of dollars in revenue, I hope that they can come up with something really good and different.
Since Steve's passing, the only thing that can reach the shock and awe level was the Mac Pro, at least to me.
I highly doubt so unless they have another visionary designer to lead their development.
Both iPhone 6 and Watch feels like its typical MBA design lead products. It feels like it is just by the numbers sort of design. I cant really think of a feature that I really want from the new iPhone. The digital crown is pretty damn smart though while pressure sensitive touch screen seemed to be interesting.
The ecosystem is quite good. The built quality is great like my ancient iPod Nano still works well. The UI, OS and stability is great. It just feel like it lack of a spark of brilliance that made me want to buy.
Even the new Samsung Galaxy Note Edge feels cooler to me despite the curve screen will be quite a nuisance if i use it with my right hand or Z3's accessories where you can slap a DSLR lense on it. That is cool while the iPhone 6 is just more of the same. I know someone will say those new features are probably not very useful in practise but at least it feels like Samsung and Sony is making some progress in doing something new and innovative.
