Apple's Back to School sale returns, but there are better deals
Although all these deals are very good, imagine how much better that deal would be if you were purchasing the new M5 Air or MacBook Pro 5, which will be released sometime at the end of October, second week of November of this year. If only these new machines could have been released in time for back-to-school, it would have been ideal.
Many people who do not pay much attention to Apple’s release times will find themselves with last year’s model within the next three months. Timing is everything when you have new devices coming up, the release times are critical. Back-to-school and the Christmas buying season cannot be missed, especially if you plan to sell relatively expensive items, such as Apple products. I would assume the new iPhone will make the dates but imagine if all could make that same window at the time the public is looking to buy.

Apple may need to acquire AI firms to boost Apple Intelligence

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 …..They didn’t win anything you seemed to forget that Apple in the Apple Intelligence presentation at last year‘s WWDC said very clearly other so called AI companies would be also added over time which means they’re gonna have to fight it out with other companies it is ultimately a loss for OpenAI not to get any money from Apple and not to have an exclusive agreement with Apple particularly when Sam hasn’t had that initial public offering for OpenAI yet… For there is no moat around AI it is open season. -

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.John Ternus is the youngest and maybe the only one who is young on comparison to other companies.Apple is basically the last vertical computer company left from the 1980s, Apple, not being a tech company would be news to some of their competitors particularly Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Nvidia and Qualcomm.

According to K-10 filing, Apple describes themselves as a design company. Apple designs, manufactures, and markets etc.
So. I have always considered Apple Silicon as their own design IP. Somehow, you are also right, that is is a vertical company.One other area that has become very important that didn’t exist in earlier years was the creation of the Apple retail stores in combination with Apples online store selling Apples products directly, Apple would still be at the mercy of third party retailers and that experience is pretty much the same as their current experience with AAA game companies your market isn’t big enough Apple. -
