Then
In the past year, I have drawn information Applu like never before, and so I feel like I'm maybe so well-informed that I can't come up with an objective opinion. It's not that I Apple loved more than anything in the world, but rather I realized that this is a company that is incredibly active and reigns supreme in many categories with its smart style. The year 2015 was on Apple products incredibly fruitful and in recent times I do not remember any such year when it would Apple entered several important categories at once and introduced so many new or significantly improved products.
For example, at the beginning of the year, the first product went on sale Applu, which was created without Steve Jobs' intervention – Apple Watch. Pro For some, it may not be the most beautiful smartwatch with the most beautiful interface, but in my opinion, it offers features that only a few competing Android watches can offer. Together with maxWith its perfect compatibility, it is a product that goes perfectly with the iPhone, but still has Apple what to improve and personally I still haven't found that amazing feature that would make me have to buy them for over 10.
The most beautiful product of this year, in my opinion, is 12″ Retina MacBook. To this day, I can't take my eyes off it in stores and every time I visit, I have to go and play with it for at least a moment. But I'm still waiting for at least the second USB-C toonewhich, higher performance or slightly longer battery life, to replace my current one MacBook Air.
The new one is definitely worth mentioning Apple TVwhich in my opinion Applu was a great success. I like the tvOS user interface, the ability to play even a simple game and then switch to a movie or series, which thanks to the support of applications does not even have to be purchased in iTunes. In my opinion, applications from third-party developers are the future of television and I personally think that this step Applu was certainly successful and kind of started to set the direction in which smart TVs would go.
And not to just praise, I have to criticize the company's most important product a little, which is clearly iPhone. Latest iPhone The 6s is great, 3D Touch is again the future of smartphones, but I think not for all of them, because even without it, the phone can be controlled just as quickly and conveniently, so in my opinion it will only be the pride of flagships. iPhone The 6s is definitely top-notch, I just don't think it's any more top-notch than last year's. iPhone 6 and as a result it offers the user nothing essential. It is negligibly faster, sometimes takes better photos, sometimes the same, and handles everything else exactly the same as its predecessor. In fact, I'm already looking forward to it iPhone 7 and I believe a little bit that Apple this year with iPhonem did not make any coup on purpose and is preparing the expected "boom" for us next year.

I think that if I were to list everything that happened in the world this year Applu udialo, it would be a few pages long. In terms of predictability, this year was a little different than previous years, and while we knew the company would release two new iPhones, other products wereancand much smaller for existence. As a result, we have therefore received several real novelties, among which I was personally most interested in the new one Apple TV with game support and I also saw the potential in the new iPad Pro, which I had the opportunity to test and it suited me quite well for editorial work, I would even say that if I only used my Mac for writing articles, then I would be more than fine with a 13″ iPad. I was pleasantly surprised by the rebirth MacBooku, but there is a lot of room for improvement. First of all, I miss MagSafe, a charger that already presents its security in its name. If she would Apple put in an improved form into the next generation, then I would have to conclude that Apple started doing under the direction of Tim Cookand compromises that wouldn't have been easy under Steve. Personally, I noticed it the most at Apple Watch. This year, I had the opportunity to test several smart watches, and unfortunately, the watch from Appthey fit me the least of all. The complicated user interface, which emphasizes first the design and only then the efficiency, has a lot to do with it, and this is reflected in the lengthy work. When I had the opportunity to use my first iPod touch, I knew how to operate it within 2 minutes iOS and when I later switched to iPhone, I could control it within 15 seconds. At Apple Watch but I felt like I was old school - I philosophized about how the digital crown works for 5 minutes and somehow managed to do that too Romanovi to reset the watch, for which he was very nice.. he thanked me very much. But the watch Apple Watch I have to give a point for one thing - they influenced me to buy a smart one (Huawei) instead of an analog watch. To sum it up, I was most pleased with the fourth one just mentioned Apple TV, for more or less the same reasons Dan described above.

We agree that 2015 was a good year Apple successful, like almost every year. Of course, this is indicated by the results that appeared during the year, but also by the products themselves, which, however, may be disappointing for some. From most categories Apple products, we got some of that equipment.
Perhaps the biggest surprise and innovation was the new 12-inch MacBook, in which Apple decided to take a rather significant step. He removed almost all the ports from it, leaving only jack konektor and USB-C, which itself ultrabook charges. I won't mention the individual specifications here, of course it's lighter, thinner and other things. In my opinion, this MacBook nowadays, it is unusable for most users because of its ports. I can imagine it in about 2 years, when most accessories will be wireless and there will be no need to connect everything with a cable. On the other hand, if one doesn't start with it, the other won't either, so someone had to take this step. Of course, the competition will want to get as close as possible and the market will have to adapt to this. The big disadvantage is the price, which I find exorbitant.
Another product that caught my attention this year is iPad Pro. Alone Tim Cook claimed that it would replace a desktop PC or laptop for most users, I completely disagree. The new iPad Pro It has great performance, but it is very limited by a system that is simply not designed for work as such. If I take it as a tablet, it is a great tablet. Everything is fast thanks to the performance and for movies it is a great iPad as it should be. The pencil gives it great potential Apple Pencil, which I really like. It is thanks to this stylus that the iPad is mainly suitable for graphic designers, who can create amazing things on it.
Of course, there are also things that Applu have failed twice. An example is the recently introduced external battery for iPhone called Smart Battery. That's just plain disgusting in terms of design. One of the things that AppWhat I love is the design of the device and this cover has an unsightly hump that I would not like on my iPhone As for the new systems iOS and OS X, they don't bring much new features, so I think it's pointless to discuss them in detail.
“Phone/Company/Device… with a bitten apple logo” This is perhaps one of the worst clichés…
jefferson42: maybe it's a cliché, but we in the editorial office really don't want every single sentence to contain the word "Apple", that would be a bit stereotypical (plus we come across this word about 180 times a day, so a little variation doesn't hurt)
jefferson42: I would be happy if you could give me synonyms for the words iPhone, Apple :-)
So for a company like Apple a synonym could be used, for example, technology leader/giant from California...
Challenge accepted!
Edur: So we use these synonyms too...
There are websites that write it better and even those don't please you, sometimes you just can't please yourself :-) better not to deal with it :-) LSA It is one of the best and that is the main thing…
LsA: Thanks to your articles, reviews, tips, etc., I have at least started to get a little familiar with the world of "bitten apple"?, so THANK YOU and keep it up!!!
I can only comment on the iWatch (since yesterday), I am satisfied (I can't compare it to other watches, I haven't had it in my hand). I especially like that I can see all incoming emails and messages and I don't have to hunt for them. iPhone from my pocket. I was worried about the battery life, but it's fine, I still have 36% left. Entering messages through the microphone also works well, I wonder how well it can speak Czech.
I would comment on this article in the following way: not only physical products are products, and I was personally disappointed this year that we did not receive Apple Pay. I know that we are Apple an unimportant market, but I'm sorry that I don't have the opportunity to use this function (and yes, I know that it was introduced already in the fall of 2014). apple tv it's interesting, I'm curious how it will cope when it can't compete with the "big consoles" due to the limitations, the only thing that surprised me about it was the price, although of course apple it was to be expected. I'm curious what 2016 will bring us, even though I still have the most hope for apple pay in our market. and even if it would apple he showed that he makes compromises, magsafe would be nice if he was also in macbookWell, that's one of the best things about apple bookoch, otherwise I agree with Denis. The technology is always moving forward, and I think that BT is also workingchatka are the future, also charging, but in my opinion rather the charging that was once mentioned to be developed by one company and charging e.g. even at a distance of 1m and below. because today's wireless charging is only a few cm, and it is sometimes more restrictive than a cable. only logically, when I need to charge my mobile but someone calls me, he will push his head to the table where I have my mobile to chargejackE? in that case, even the cable is more convenient. I don't want to say that the cables are better, but that there is still room for improvement and maybe that's why apple he didn't wear it yet. and of course in today's world everything is moving forward except the battery, which is the weakness of all electronics, but in reality there will not be much improvement in 2016 or the next few yearsdockame? even though I might not be right
There was a whirlwind of products this year. I bought myself MacBook 1.3 Apple Watch and iP6s. iPad Pro left me cold (why have a bigger tablet if the system doesn't offer me any new usage options?), Apple TV I don't need it yet.
I am most embarrassed with Apple Watch. Actually, I don't know what to do with them and even after 6 months of use, I sometimes get confused in their system. They don't work as they should for me. Don't get it wrong: they have enough functions, but even the basic ones don't work as easily and "geniusly" as we are used to with an apple.
iPhone I see the 6s as a speed update of the previous model, so it's an ideal replacement for the 5s, but not for the XNUMX. I'm extremely satisfied with the hardware, the software is starting to lag due to the complexity of the functions.
MacBook 1.3 serves as my only computer (previously MBPro 13 Retina), and I only work with native MacOSX programs, not Adobe. It's a very fast, super compact computer with an unbeatable Retina (once you try it, you can't go back) and USB-C doesn't limit me. What else should it do? I'll plug it into a hub on my desk and connect everything else to it. It's great.
The biggest and most painful disappointment is ForceTouch, both on the iP6s and MacBooku. Hardware-wise, it's a "brake trough", but software-wise it doesn't offer anything that would significantly simplify work across the system. Such a big innovation, so sloppy? ProIs it not a secondary click? ProDoes MacOSX 3-4 have limited functions (wiki, wtf?)? I've practically stopped using it and I'm very sorry about that.
Cabinko: On the other hand, I'm a viceancand wireless charging. When someone calls me, the phone simply stops charging for 15 seconds and then I put it back, nothing complicated. You don't need to connect anything, turn on anything, and you don't even need to have the phone in any Qi case (that is, except for iPhone, which does not yet have built-in wireless charging)
Jaromír Miko: you're right, sometimes it's more practical, but when you don't have time and you need to leave as quickly as possible, everything will be considered, but mainly I can't imagine what I would do with the game MK X, which is an incredibly juicy and hot mobile, where your battery goes down incredibly and the charger can barely keep up. I really don't know if it's full hd graphics or poorly tuned app, or both, because I don't have such a problem elsewhere, or not so much. one way or another, I think wireless is the future, but they still have to debug it. otherwise, I'm stuck tooancom wireless stuff. after all, it's just a wordchatka i have bt and i won't go back to wired ones by any chance :)
