Very unimpressed by iOS 8...

[Christopher Lindsay]

What IOS 8 is doing is equivalent to Microsoft dropping a fingerprint scanner after customers asked for a file manger lol.

People are getting fed up with seeing Android and WP doing things their phones will never do but they don't have choice because they're trapped in this apple ecosystem.

What? That does not make sense. Apple added functionality to iOS, more so than WP IMO. Windows Phone 8.1 fixed some stuff but didn't bring some stuff that iOS is now going to have after Android and even BlackBerry 10 have had for a while.

Why did you pick a 27 inch iMac? When you guys bring up price you always pick the most expensive ones but never pick the cheapest ones. If we compare prices. The prices of the iMacs are inline with Windows All in Ones. Not over priced and if they are Windows computers are overpriced too.

I'm not the one to compare prices because I've built my laptops and desktops but I do know for what's inside they're overpriced.

Market share, recent lower iPad and iPhone sales.

How? They are the same specs compared to AIOs in the provided screenshots. Perceived value is not actual value. You may think they are overpriced but they are in fact the same prices and specs as similar Windows computers.

What is more likely, that people will have a Microsoft computer or Mac?
Mac are, much like iPhones to expensive. For price of 27" Mac I can buy a comparable Windows PC (including screen and all other things), Lumia 1520 and Windows tablet.

Show me where a person can get an all-in-one, a flagship level phone, and a tablet for only $1700. I own a 27" iMac and it is very price competitive with the windows all in ones with the same specs.

This was question for me and I have been also building my own PCs. Why did I chose 27" Mac? Because last year I bought new PC with 27" Samsung screen. I was not talking about all-in ones but about void old PCs, you know those black boxes you put Andy the table.

The bottom level MacBook air cost 900 bones.
For the same price I can get a bigger (14 inch) Dell laptop with a higher processor, more than double the harddrive space, more ram and still get cash back.

Then don't compare that with 27" iMac because it's not the same thing. A better comparison is the $599 Mac Mini with a 27 inch Samsung screen.

Which Dell are you talking about?

Edit: I see it.

Not much of a price difference to call it overpriced.

Why the hell wouldn't I? It's a computer. But OK you can take Mac mini, I have quad core i5 so my is more powerful, I have 8GB Ram, I do have 500Gb had but I also have 120 gb ssd. For this was the price the same as it would be Mac mini. Not so big difference now but you get more for your money.

We're getting off topic. IOS 8 is pretty lackluster. That's all.

Not even the same class of laptop. (Worse graphics, worse battery life, no SSD, etc) I'd rather run windows on the MBA

Ok Christoper, you got point.

So IOS 8 isn't bad but is not enough for most of Windows Phone fans, Apple products are overpriced and Microsoft has some work to do.

Good night guys, or have a nice day (if you are from US).

Neither one had good graphics. They're running off of the CPU (no graphics card). Apple doesn't say what type of battery it had so you can't say worse battery. And 128gb SSD is ok but 1tb HDD is a fair trade off.
