So..  a device which collects data and even if I use iPhone or MacBook, this device will absorb and collect data from all users when connecting it with Apple products which makes Apple‘s privacy obsolete. 

And this device gets smarter and smarter by learning with collected data. 

It will be a personal device while Apple makes generally purposed devices. 

I see that Apple stock is underperforming as the worst stock performer YTD among Magnificant 7.

Rotten Apple will feel the pressure. Better now than late: Tim Cook needs to step down as he can’t afford to doom Apple further and further since Vision Pro.

So Apple is in trouble because two clowns get on the stage a la Qualcomm/Microsoft last year and announce something (nothing) that requires software and hardware which preforms like vaporware but is far beyond anything Apple has done to date, and the hardware would be better than Apple Silicon and the OS driving it will be better than any of the five operating systems Apple has released in the last 25 years? Oh and at the end Apple is also doomed too.

Note: Microsoft’s effort came up so far short of Apples Rosetta one (let alone Rosetta two) and the CPU/SOC designed by Qualcomm also came up short of the M1 processor in overall actual performance in software/hardware, which is why Microsoft is now also doubling down on their AI efforts this year and downplaying the hardware aspects, Microsoft has even gone so far as canceled some of the Surface hardware recently. (Microsoft hardware solutions are so bad that many in the geek crowd are crying that Apple should emulate it with a touch screen MacOS on an M4 iPad).

A really bad look for Apple and a sign that they have lost their moral compass.

Based on your objections, it's not at all clear when Apple had a moral compass that you would approve of. Steve Jobs defended Apple's financial interests even more aggressively than the current leadership.

It’s a sad day for freedom. 

What’s gonna be sad for the average developer going forward is that Xcode (and all those other tools) will not be cheap/free anymore all those developer tools that Apple has given away will over time will start to cost real money up front a la like the good old days you know those two grand software developer packs. 

The big companies never cared about the small fry developer (as portrayed Sweeney Todd) its like saying, Elon cares he doesn’t refer to the way Adobe is behaving now with their new subscription plan, what is funny is all of the software companies who think they’re gonna have a subscription here and a subscription there similar to the way all those tv/video/movie production houses, cable internet/channels (including Apple) thought there was a pot of gold with endless subscriptions but there is a finite limitation for the average person/family. 

The mark/customer doesn’t have a source of endless monetary resources to have 20 monthly subscriptions going at the same time, we may be headed back to the good old days where you bought something upfront once and that’s it, I have four subscriptions, Netflix, PBS, Apple and BritBox that’s it and there will be no more than that how many do you have? And that number is across all content mediums, video, music, software yep-that’s it just four….

I hope this leads to more people leaving Adobe for other platforms. There’s no justification for this price increase beyond pure greed. And at a time when more folx then ever in the US are struggling financially, this is really gross.
