Apple is already being weirdly criticized for an AI effort that hasn't launched yet
The answer is in the title. “An AI effort that hasn’t started yet”. Apple has been caught completely flatfooted on this, and it’s clear to anyone who isn’t a sycophant that they are scrambling to catch up. This was the opportunity cost of vanity projects like the Apple Car and the facial iPad, and it’s why fans like me are frustrated with the leadership. Sure, you can write 1,000 words on the history of Apple naysayers (and the bit about championing workers’ rights was especially rich), but there is very little in this article to support the stated thesis that Apple is uniquely positioned. It almost reads as a desperate rationalization to cope with an unpleasant situation.

Three things Apple got wrong with the Vision Pro launch
Very disappointing about the broken HomePod. Back in the iPhone 3 days I was so impressed with Apple Store customer service that I bought stock in the company the next day. Any other retailer would have simply refunded your money for a DOA product. This disregard for the customer will eventually be Apple’s undoing.
As to supporting multiple users on iPad/VPro, etc., you couldn’t be more wrong. Adding a user doesn’t carve out a ton of storage; and, a lot of Macs get sold with only 256GB of storage, yet they can handle it. All users on a system generally share the same copies of apps and libraries. Only preferences and program data for each user, which is usually small, impact storage. The real reason Apple doesn’t do this (and remember, iOS is based on MacOS), is to move more units. The school/cloud storage thing is just a hack and probably the least desirable approach to this problem one could imagine.

Who will deliver immersive content for Apple Vision Pro?
So many logical fallacies, so little time. I’m glad DED is still getting paid by the word. -
Apple 'renaissance' inbound after Vision Pro launch success
“We believe Apple Vision Pro is a potential game changer over the coming years and Cupertino has found clear success with this next generation form factor surpassing by a wide margin original Street expectations,"
Clear success? Not yet, but TBD.Wall Street? Not supported by actual stock prices.

US Apple Watch sales and import ban: What you need to know
Yes! It was weird that this option, probably the cheapest, fastest, and fairest one, wasn’t listed in the article.eightzero said:
Or just buy a license from them. Like they always do. Or (temporarily) disable the alleged infringing components with a software update.Michail said:Why doesn’t Apple just purchase that pesky company, Masimo? Problem solved👍.
