Foldable smartphones aren't selling that well, and they're still somewhat fragile.  Some people are always asking for an Apple foldable smartphone but I'm sure they're very few like those who people who kept asking for mini smartphones.  There weren't many buyers of mini smartphones, so they were discontinued.  It's up to Apple to design and sell foldable smartphones, but if they don't sell well, Wall Street is going to complain about Apple wasting money.  I don't want a foldable smartphone because I prefer having a tough slab of a smartphone as a reliable daily driver.  If it does cost $2000, I doubt many people will buy one, and it will become another Apple Vision Pro-type product.  The vocal pundits will label it a flop.

I'm quite happy with Apple's latest hardware announcements.  The latest MacBooks, the Mac mini, the Mac Studio, etc. seem to be fine products and rivaling the best consumer products in the industry.  I'm not interested in A.I., so I'm not in any hurry to see it take over.  In my opinion, A.I. is highly overrated.  I don't want Cook to resign or to be fired, as I don't know if there is someone better to take his place.  I'm a 20-year Apple shareholder, and I'm very satisfied with Apple's financial performance.  Every company goes through problems, so I'm not concerned about it, as I believe Apple will do its best to figure things out.  I couldn't do any better, as I don't have the ability to run any profitable company.  I can only depend on Apple internally solving whatever problems they have.  I think some people are too impatient or greedy and don't appreciate all the good Tim Cook has done for Apple over the years.  These people always boasting about how they could do better than Tim Cook, and I doubt they could run a company as well as he has.  I'm living a very comfortable life since owning Apple stock over the years.  I have nothing to complain about.  I enjoy using my current Apple products and will likely buy a new MacBook Pro this year, even if it doesn't have any A.I. features.
