Typically the point of an acquisition is to gain technology, productive assets (like factories), employees, or customers. But I don't see Apple as falling short in any of those areas. 

Apple's problem really is with their senior management's failure of vision and strategy. Either senior management needs to self-correct or the board will have to get involved. 

Apple is not a technology company. The technology plays in the background. Apple is a design company. If you compare executives from other corporates with Apple, you will notice that literally all of Apple‘s executives are older than any other pe. 

John Ternus is the youngest and maybe the only one who is young on comparison to other companies.

Laughable this is the typical Wall Street MBA solution. Go try and buy your way in (movie studio, gaming company) there are no shortcuts in chip hardware or software development, even if you found the right AI company (there isn’t one) today and if you could buy them next month. It will take years of work to even get to first base at this moment, who has a AI solution that the public is willing to use that actually makes a actual profit upfront right now in this new world of AI? Answer no one.

Apple was right in not giving OpenAI or anyone else billions of dollars for AI software, which is currently a work in progress …..

I'm not sure you're much of a fan of the platform at this point -- you seem about 3/4 of the way toward it being doomed, meaning you don't believe in it anymore. Also seems like most of the Appleinsider contributing staff also isn't that into Apple anymore. Getting pretty "The Verge" around here lately, and choosing this hill to die on as far as Vision Pro feels a little weak this early on.

Being critical of poor decision making by a company is not the same thing as hating a product. Considering I wrote this piece from within Apple Vision Pro and have spent multiple hours testing the new features this week just for the fun of it, I'd say I'm still rather invested in the platform.

I'm not sure what you expect us to do, praise Apple when they're doing a poor job at something? You should try listening to the podcast sometime, I'm continuously accused of being too defensive of Apple. lol

If anything, me wanting the platform to be better should be an indicator of how much I care about it.

The only thing I’ve wanted from Apple is to make the iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro and the Mac to work seamlessly together as only a vertical computer company can do despite the crying, none of the competition can do what Apple is doing today with their OS and Apple Silicon combination. 

I do not want the OS on both the iPad and the Mac to be the same they are not the same device and at 2025 WWDC Apple took a nice step towards making that happen.

Apple needs to keep improving Apple Silicon GPU’s and the supporting software used within the five ecosystems, keep up the good work and make it better.
