5 Things Apple Released in 2015 THAT SUCKED

Written by Joey Peters

1. iPad Pro – The iPad Pro was a fail. It’s a huge iPad pretty much. It’s actually a very good tablet and with a huge screen, it’s great if you need the screen real estate. The reason it’s a fail, it’s running IOS instead of OS X. This would have been the perfect opportunity for Apple to make an iPad fun OS X just like what Microsoft is doing with their Surface. The iPad Pro actually has some decent specks. I et you that Apple would have sold a LOT more iPad Pro’s if they would run OS X. It would just be really awesome to run Final Cut Pro X on an iPad. It would kinda be like an ultimate portable machine. I would pay $800 for an iPad that’s running IOS but I wouldn’t pay $800 for a bigger version of an iPad that’s running IOS.

2. The Apple Pencil – The Apple Pencil is kinda interesting because it’s actually a very well thought out product. It’s a decent “pencil.” It does amazing things like using force touch and fine precision to draw or type. One of the flaws it has is, when you need to charge it, you stick it out of the side of the iPad which is a big hazard because it can snap off if it hits something and then there goes $100 down they drain. And did I mention the price? It’s is $100 which is very overpriced because you can buy a stylist for $1. Yes I know, you won’t get the force touch feature, but you’re saving $99.

3. Apple Magic Mouse 2 – The Magic Mouse 2 is Apple’s mouse that they send with their iMacs. On the original mouse, it is battery powered. On Apple’s version 2 of the mouse, it has a rechargeable internal battery. So of course you have to charge it. Thats where Apple failed on it. You charge it on the bottom. That means you can’t use it when you are charging it. I know Apple wants to keep the clean, simple look on all of their products and don’t get me wrong, the Magic Mouse 2 looks really good. They could have made the charging port in the front where a wired mouse would have the wire coming out of it. That would actually look good considering that’s what regular wired mouses look like. I know that charging it for a small amount of time will get you a lot of time to use it but it is just really weird flipping your mouse over to charge it.

4. Apple Watch Dock – Apple released their own Apple Watch dock for there Apple Watches. You know Apple by making a product that looks awesome but still has its functionality. The reason why it’s a fail, they made it look really weird. It looks like a smoke detector. I have a whole video on the Apple Watch Dock explaining 5 reasons why you shouldn’t buy it. It also looks like it was really cheaply made like you can pick it up and it would break. But really, it’s an Apple Watch Dock, do you really need one? It’s basically a way to look cool.

5. iPhone Battery Case – So Apple took their first crack at a battery case and it left a lot of questions. First of all, the huge hump on the back. I don’t know what in the world Apple was thinking when they designed it like that. Another reason why it’s bad, it’s over priced and $100 and anybody else see a trend? Apple likes pricing things at $100. It’s not like the battery is horrible. It gives one full extra charge and that’s okay for a battery. The part that really sucks is well the design and when you are plug it into your phone it automatically starts charging your phone. There’s no on and off switch and I think that ruins your battery.

Apple’s First iPhone Battery Case | WHAT WAS APPLE THINKING

Okay, battery cases are awesome and I have nothing against them. So you know it was probably like a regular day at Apple and someone had the idea of making a battery case. Everyone was probably like, “WOW THATS A GREAT IDEA, LET’S MAKE AN OVERPRICED BATTERY CASE!” After that they were probably like, “Oh Crap, we don’t have anyone to design it. How will we ever design it? OH YEAH, LET’S JUST GO OUTSIDE AND PICK THE FIRST PERSON THAT WALKS BY TO DESIGN IT!”

That’s probably not what they did, I was just exaggerating. But seriously, this case looks horrible. I really don’t know what they were thinking when they put the battery in the middle of the case and just made it a hump. It looks like the case ate an iPod 4. The least thing they could do is make it so the back would be flush with the rest of the phone case. I don’t know what’s going on with Apple this year. First the iPad Pro that is on IOS instead of OS X. Second, They made it so you can charge the Apple pencil by sticking it out of the side of the iPad Pro. Third, They made it so you have to charge your Apple Magic Mouse 2 on the bottom. Fourth, Apple made the Apple Watch dock look like a freaking Smoke Detector. And now this. Good job Apple, that’s five things I can think off the top of my head that went wrong this year and I will have a video coming soon of five things Apple did right and five things Apple did wrong so subscribe it you don’t want to miss it. This case does not give you an option to set it on charge when you want it to. When you plug it into the case, it starts charging immediately and personally I don’t like that because I believe charging and unplugging and charging it again and unplugging it again will destroy your iPhone’s battery over time. The charging LED is in the case which is stupid because if you can’t see it then why even put it in there. They do make up for it by putting the charge indicator in the Notification Center which I guess is good. Would I buy it? NOOOOOOO, you can get a lot more for your money buy buying a Mophie battery case because they have been doing it for years now and they are the best at doing it. The battery itself can produce 25 extra hours of battery for your phone which is about one full charge. The design is so horrible and with a price tag coming in at $99 you do not need to buy this unless you are super duper deep into the Apple ecosystem.
