...I used to look forward to Apple products, and would buy (b)leading edge... Now I hesitate until I have to.  It seemed through 2011 profit served design and the customer first, yet since increasingly has design served profit...?  Zeitgeist?  I don't know enough to comment on attribution (CEO) however I have no desire to own airpods that wear out after a few years, or a home speaker that is always listening and has no analogue input option, or a watch that syncs to a mac on a desk via servers in California (or any mac device), or be forced to pay for a touchbar on a laptop that I may never use (rumoured discontinued), or a pro that can't upgrade GPU, nor invest in any computer without flex in ram, storage, battery or macOS unless perhaps it is benefitting ultra compactness like the 12" macbook. That said as a shareholder I was rewarded, and the aesthetics of the latest hardware seem impressive, with kudos to the latest volley of iPhone and iPad mini redesigns, leaving me conflicted vs a raving fan for so many years... It can't be an easy gig, just wishing it felt more customer first on all fronts as it used to...

For consideration in comparison Steve Jobs had sought to custom build a 4,910sf home for his entire family: gizmodo.com/exclusive-the-plans-for-steve-jobs-new-house-5649909

"Jobs intends to populate the 6 acres with an assortment of indigenous flora; a simple three-car garage; a modest 5 bedroom home with plenty of windows and decks; a network of lighted stone walkways; and even a private vegetable garden. Everything is neat, tight, pragmatic, and in its place"

"Steve Jobs has gone and designed the iPhone of houses"

... and this was a decade ago when the symptoms of climate change were so widely contested by vested interests ...

How should leadership be defined...?

...should this be 4k @ 3840 x 2160 @ 16"...?

such appears to be possible:

15.6" UHD+ (3840 x 2400) InfinityEdge Touch Anti-Reflecitve 500-Nit Display

and perhaps appropriate

...offering full frame for Final Cut Pro on the road...?

... is this one more attempt to normalize customer data on iCloud servers, with permission of course...?
