apple is pretty much irrelevant to me at this point
i could not give less of a stuff about what they're doing since all of it seems to be stupid and none of it seems to be innovative
they went downhill real fast after steve jobs passed away

i have to let you know something
you're wrong
apple is not going downhill, they're going uphill

i didn't mean with money
i meant with how much they really matter to progress and innovation and my personal opinion of them
"oh motorola is making a smartwatch let's do that"
"oh there are bugs let's fix them"

hopefully this update doesn't make my iPad 5x slower than it already was after the iOS 8 update.

apple is stuff
ios8 is stuff
apple watch is stuff
macbooks are stuff
macintoshes are stuff
iphones are stuff
ipods are stuff

YET I STILL BUY FROM THEM, WHEN WILL I LEARN?

I don't like how they claim "performance improvements" meanwhile they're phasing older devices out of the updates claiming that the older hardware can't handle it, even though the performance is somehow "improved."

If the performance is improved from the last version then every device that could handle the last version can handle the version with improved performance. That's how it works. My iPod touch 4th gen (only 1 gen off from the latest. ONE.) has been excluded from iOS 7 because apparently the hardware can't handle it, even though iOS 7 claimed to have increased performance.

iOS controls more of the smartphone market with their one phone than Android does with their thousands of phones. Android dominated the market less than a year ago. I'd call that quite a bit of progress.
You can pretty much scrap the "progress" and "innovation" parts because the only thing that didn't sound completely ignorant in this post is when you said it was your personal opinion. At least back that personal opinion up with facts if you're going to talk about one of the most successful consumer electronics companies in the world like that.
Oh and I equally like both Android and iOS so don't expect me to take sides. I can list plenty of issues/innovations between both of them.

There are hardware changes though, and while I realize MOST software updates and fixes don't care about that, some do, and simply won't work on older hardware, regardless of whether or not it is "improved."

There is also the distinct possibility that it is improved on all devices, but on the older devices the major OS leap was still too much for them to handle.

ios 8 is stuff and has been a nightmare, I'm still not used to it
like I used to be able to copy image urls in Safari and paste them but they removed it in 8, it's also got a really stuffty autocorrect that still I'm not used to

the features iOS 9 brings though look promising and you can't get a more broken OS than 8

im glad I'm not the only one super upset about th image urls lol. it's so frustrating

Could you give some examples or maybe a source for this?

I love how the description for OS X El Capitan doesn't say what they actually changed.

Actually Android has overtaken iOS, as of February 2015 Android is now the Number 1 operating system on mobiles (Most phones basically) iOS has dropped to second and if they don't fix their stuff Windows 10 Mobile may overtake them as well and they may drop to third.

The apple watch doesn't seem to be selling as much as they wanted it to either.
Their patent sharing agreement with Microsoft seems to be helping them though, with location based reminders for siri and multi-tasking view.
