Apple Is Inevitably Heading Towards Its Downfall

Apple has disappointed customers all over the world and is running the risk of losing their loyalties.

Ever since Steve Jobs died, Apple has only been moving downhill.

Why is it that after he passed, the company hasn't been able to carry out his legacy of creativity and innovation?

Apple is moving down a very slippery slope and sooner or later, people will have no choice but to move to Android. Apple's new products lack innovative features and the updates (like iOS 11) have been nothing but glitch after glitch. Loyal customers all over the world are disappointed with the company's lack of dedication to greatness. Apple has been a huge player in the technology business for over a decade since the release of the first iPhone and they just aren't living up to expectations anymore.

They're first mistake was making the iPhone 6 so much bigger than the 5. People were very disappointed with the size increase because it made the phone more inconvenient to carry around and harder to hold for people with small hands. After a couple months, people became accustomed to the size and even appreciated the plus versions of each model.

After this, they continued making innovations that didn't actually improve the phone but just made it seem more high-tech. The iPhone 7 featured some pretty great improvements like better camera quality and water resistance but it also included some extremely unnecessary features like wireless earphones and the disappearance of the headphone jack. First of all, I understand the appeal of wireless earphones but they are so tiny and easy to lose, if anything in my opinion, they're less convenient. Apple also got a whole lot of backlash for releasing a phone where the charging port doubled as a headphone jack. How are we supposed to listen to music and charge our phones at the same time? This was an extremely silly update and I'm sure most people would agree.

Luckily, the iPhone 8 and X have been getting a pretty good rep except for the fact that the iPhone X is all glass. Considering that most people have had a shattered screen at least once in their phone-owning lifetime, now they'll have a whole shattered phone instead.

The hot topic right now is the iOS 11 glitch. Apple purposely programs bugs in our products in order to force us to update or buy a new device entirely. We all know this and it's something that has always been a sales tactic but ever since Jobs died, Apple can't figure out how to make a subtle glitch. They give us glitches that ruin the battery life, the speed at which the phone works, and the features offered on the phone, taking the whole phone down with it. If they don't figure out this bug situation soon, they run the risk of losing loyal customers.

APPLE, PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER.

Sidenote: R.I.P. Steve Jobs, we miss you dearly and hope you're haunting the people who are ruining your legacy!!!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
