How Steve Jobs saved Apple with the iMac 27 years ago
VictorMortimer said:This entire story is bull.The iMac was in development before Jobs came back.You seriously think they developed the entire machine in less than a year? Jobs became interim CEO in September 1997, the iMac was released in May 1998.You know who saved Apple? Gil Amelio.Incorrect. It was Ive who kicked it off. He was the one who presented and created the solution. The brass merely said “ok.”When Steve came back he saw how special jony was and brought him in close. Jony had the passion and perfectionist nature that mirrored Steve. They both really, really cared.Steve’s genius wasn’t just in imagination and vision. It was recognizing critically important people and developing them.Steve was a visionary in a broad sense. Jony was s as visionary in not only a design sense, but how to make the best design in terms of the way something functions as well. Together, they were unstoppable.

Kindle adds 'Get Book' buy button to where it always belonged
All this legislating from the bench will hopefully be dealt with before too long. In the meantime, it’s exposing these shady organizations (who make money from other being on their stores) as extortionists, only putting in work if they don’t pay to be in someone else’s store.It’s why I no longer have an Amazon subscription nor a Spotify one. It’s a matter of principle. Doesn’t alter my lifestyle at all. I’ve always found it healthier and have met lots of good people by always avoiding the card reader at the pump and the self-checkout at various retailers. Going to the human being at the register is the way to go.Apple Books are usually presented much nicer than kindle anyway. And Apple Music has inched closer to the old iTunes simplicity that Spotify copied to begin with.

An entire article on the iMac saving apple and no mention of Jony Ive anywhere.Steve was the mastermind of product lineup. But without Ive’s own ideas and his design prowess, no one would have cared about the iMac.For Apple 2.0, Steve and Jony were two halves of a whole. Steve deserve a lot of credit for that run. But so does Ive. So much so, that Jobs gave Ive more “operational power at apple than anyone but me.”The right people in the right place at the perfect time.

Apple is rumored to radically change up the iPhone 18 release schedule
Except Apple isn’t stagnant with ideas.ForumPost said:
Stagnant ideas and economicsmccargos said:I don't understand why you would stagger a iphone with the same number over a 2 year release like thatEconomics a year or two from now is anyone’s guess, but even then, no marketer worth their salt would just throw a perceived old thing into a marketplace liking for a new thing.At the worst, apple would do what they did in the past by rebadging the old processor or selling the old processor in a new phone - even if the only thing “new” was a paint job.But the entire scenario is doubtful. Even if an asteroid hit the earth and the iPhone business was cut in half, it would still be very profitable and worthy of fresh investment.

Really can’t see this happening. Two years later, the market will think they are selling old stuff at new prices.I can only imagine what Samsung’s counter-campaign would say. You just know they’d jump all over that.Apple already sells old stuff at new prices with the m3 ultra Mac Studio and that has not gone over that well.Put that on an iPhone level with the hot competition there and it won’t be good. Can’t see Cook going that route.
