In as little as 2-3 years, people are going to start having allergic reactions to having to be confined to a small, fixed screen with a physical input device.

And it is SUPER CHEAP!

I remember feeling “lucky” to be able to get an IBM XT PC with a color monitor for under $7500 when they first came out, and that was in 1983 dollars. With inflation, that would be over $22,000 today. And it couldn’t do much more than Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets and word processing and required a significant learning curve. But it was still a giant productivity boost for anyone who got one, which is why it took off.

It’s amazing that (even) Apple could bring out such incredibly advanced new technologies, custom chips, screens, sensors and more in a user friendly, beautiful design with a new input framework for such an affordable starting price of only $3499 to begin with. 

It is so well developed, and thoroughly thought through, that you’d swear it was a third generation device.

Having nearly all our favorite apps that we already know how to use (and all our data on it via the Cloud) available on or near DAY ONE is going to make this a “must have” for many people, not limited to just early adopters.

Unlike the Mac, iPhone and Apple Watch which had very few apps for the first 1-2 years, this is launching fully loaded and capable out of the gate!

Once people see how the novelty of this new product category doesn’t require major learning curves, but SETS THEM FREE of space and location limitations, it will be like a breath of fresh air and will go mainstream much faster than ever before.  We are already conditioned to learning new technologies every year with new iPhones, iPads, OS releases, etc., and this won’t be that different. 

And as evidenced by EV’s now being adopted by the masses (in the millions each year), people are no longer afraid of new (user friendly) technologies.

So get ready to see 3D cameras on iPhones, FaceTime IP calls gaining on regular cellular calls, and AAPL stock hitting $4 Trillion market cap by mid 2025.

NEXT UP?
(Hopefully!)

1) Apple Share+, transforming the irresponsible, privacy invading social media/network industry,

2) New, immersive, accessible e-learning frameworks transforming our rigid education infrastructure and bridging neurodiversity and cultural divides, and

3) Apple Travel, integrating Autonomous Driving with Smart Highways, RideSharing, and user-friendly Vehicle Design that makes Teslas (the current state of the art) feel “uninspired” by comparison.
