Constant jabs! Microsoft and Apple may be friends now, or at least both companies have called a truce, but that does not stop both technology giant from poking fun and throwing little jabs at one another.
Fancy little jabs.
Then again, by now everyone has gotten used to seeing technology companies mocking each other during their press events.
This time around it was Apple that was doing the talking, making fun of Microsoft and Windows users during its iPhone SE and iPad Pro launch conference today.
More specifically, Phil Schiller was in no mood to take prisoners when he took the stage to introduce the shiny new iPad Pro and said labeled it as the ultimate PC replacement — very clear that Apple is feeling the threat from Microsoft in the tablet realm.
Schiller also referenced some statistics that were presented by Microsoft and Intel which claimed that around 600 million of the PCs currently in use are more than 5 years old.
That’s really sad, the senior Apple executive remarked.
While at the same time pointing towards the upgrade rates of iOS users and how Apple manages to bring its users on the latest models of its hardware and the newest versions of its software.
Speaking of which, a quick glance reveals a rather lukewarm response to both the new products that the Cupertino based company unveiled today — the iPhone SE with its 4-inch screen is targeted at a very select group of buyers, while the new iPad Pro brings nothing majorly new.
Other than the smaller screen size, obviously.
So this event was about a smaller version of a bigger version of a smaller device, or something like that.
Microsoft will, at the end of the day, will be pleased this competition with its Surface lineup, which in turn will drive the company to further improve its tablet. And same goes for other Windows hardware makers and their Windows 10 powered tablets, convertibles and hybrids.
What about you folks?
How old is your PC? 5 years and counting? Let’s hear it!
