While there are clear advantages to owning and controlling key technologies, it’s not essential. Apple has a long history of designing great products using other companies technology. For example, nearly every technology in the iPod was “off the she…

I read a rumor that the iPhone 18 will be even better than the iPhone 17 — it might also look slightly different. So I’m going to wait for that one.

Apple employs very smart people and is definitely a leading technology company. They are not behind in that regard. But they are behind in integrating those technologies into a compelling AI product — that is, a truly useful product that people and…

Kansas City has a women's soccer team (the Kansas City Current) that has a new stadium built specifically for it. It's the only women's professional team in the world to have their own stadium. I'd love it if Ted were to coach a fictional version …
