To stay big, you need to innovate. The releases since Steve's death have been disappointing. Minor changes to existing products. Ok. The apple watch. But really?

Swift may be one of the biggest releases in recent years. However, since it doesn't affect the public, is considered a non-release.

Compare: Since Steve returned to Apple (1997) to the point of iPhone being presented (2007) there were almost 10 years of "minor changes." iPod? "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame." (2001)

Steve Jobs died in 2011. This time now is then an approximate year of the "Lame" sentiment.

Aren't you forgetting the whole OSX thing? And the whole PPC->Intel switch?

What OSX thing? It's been out forever. And, to intel? That's simply platform support. Not, innovation.

You mean NeXTStep? Which always ran on Intel? :)

Name a decent release since 2011 that is innovative.
