I'll take two please.
4k screen? Now that is just nutty.
My belief is this:
Year 1: iPad Pro released
Year 2: iPad Air released which is basically a smaller iPad pro from the year before
Year 3: iPad Mini released which is smaller version of latest Air. New iPad pro released
Cycling from there.
But it's not always uphill for us all tho. Apple bring out IOS 10, & maybe we start rolling down hill again. Lol...... Or will they get it right this time?.......
Yes, i believe that too. No new iPad Pro but a new Air!
The conversation went like this:
'Hey mr Goebbels, is this time in the year when we release some rumours so people start talking about our upcoming release?' 'Ah yes, you're right I'll now go ask my daughter to give more something credible to publish, bwah, bwahahahaha!'
Is it just me or is technology reaching some sort of saturation point? Go back a good few years and tech was all about making compromises - you could have higher resolution but fewer colours, or more colours but lower res kind of thing. But with say the iPad Pro, the screen res and colour range is pretty much at the limits of the human eye, the power is enough to run dozens of tracks in a DAW, etc. OK, it would struggle to run top end 3D rendering type apps (which I use a lot on the desktop), and they are still woefully behind on storage and more interfaces would be useful, but for most apps that most people will use, there is more than enough power. And so maybe little motivation to keep upgrading?
I feel similar about music tech such as keyboards and workstations. They are also getting to the point where there is more than enough - the ability to run dozens if not hundreds of voices, enough DSP power to provide effects on every track, streaming of GB samples. It gets to a point where you can't actually use any more!
I am learning to live with what I have and just make some music!
Slowly growing technology is a marketing thing....
Give them just little snippets and hold back huge steps forwards because the crowd will not buy new tools for the next years!
Reliability and stability. They have a ways to go.
I don't know that mobile devices can be characterized as slow growing technology but there has always been an aspect of buyers remorse since the beginning of the PC age where people are worried about when and if they should buy new products. When will they be obsolete relative to newer technology? This is in constant tension with desires to have the latest and greatest. Once a technology matures (e.g. Laptop/Desktop markets) the concerns about obsolescence and innovation fade away and I would think people tend to buy less often as their perceived needs are met by the products they already have.
It does seem to me that iOS and iOS devices still have a way to go before reaching mature technology status as at this point. Apple tries to optimize how people experience their products by keeping new products in sync with older ones and there is a delay in creating new software to take advantage of new hardware so the full capability of new iOS devices might not occur for a year or two. When the acquisition cycle of new devices was driven by the two year phone contract/financing cycle, this left a relatively short window for maximized experience especially for more specialized/niche users such as musicians.
As the major carriers have moved away from contracts to an upgrade whenever you want approach, this seems like a way to try to create a market where people will update their devices more frequently. Even Apple has started an upgrade your phone every year plan. With the quarterly stock market report driving the perspective of how success and failure are evaluated, there seems to be more pressure on companies to come up with reasons why upgrading is desirable while minimizing anxiety surrounding such changes.
Presumably, the happiness of niche users would become more significant as the technology matures and non-niche users don't benefit from new hardware or software so their motivation to acquire new mobile devices will be less. Nevertheless companies won't let functionality deter them from increasing sales and are highly motivated to come up with all sorts of spin about how having a particular product defines who you are which is especially important for a company like Apple versus other mobile devices which are perceived as being more like commodities. Given these economic forces, I think Apple can only benefit from niche markets if they can come up with approaches that can be applied to niche markets in general so that they can offer an experience on their devices not offered on other mobile devices. This will grow in importance as I believe there are significant limits to how much spin the general public will respond to in cultures where they're bombarded with such appeals. This is why I'm sure Apple is very interested in marketing their products to the emerging middle class in countries such as China where more people are experiencing discretionary spending which represents market growth potential.
In short I think there are a wide range of forces, consideration, and feedback that go into decisions about how Apple develops and releases their mobile products.
I agree with you mare. But, all companies do this. Roland, Yamaha, etc. It's a way to dangle the carrot to update. So you spend more to get the best thing you can buy for your money. I suppose it a form evolution greed, in a corporate way. It's technologies, whether it a synth, keyboard, computer, washing machine, TV, or car. It's a temptation, like its a child wanting a new toy they see on television........ But as we get older, & have responsibilities(family, mortgages, etc) the pain of wanting is worse than we were a child, as we know we can't afford them...... Damn! Wish I was 20 again. Lol.....
