Please allow multiple calculators at once. Since you can’t open multiple instances of an app on Mac I’ve always felt that allowing multiple instances of the calculator from within the app as a separate window has always been a big missing feature. 

This whole suit feels like it was prepared by lobbyists with very specific interests.

" if you thought Apple TV+ was largely an effort to compete with Netflix in selling subscriptions to access large quantities of low quality shovelware entertainment, you were no smarter than all the analysts!" That's right!  ---- I think that there may be a market for spatial video that does not require writers, actors, and expensive production. Think of all those unable or unwilling to travel but who might enjoy an experience in foreign, exotic, or simply different locales. I would enjoy a walk through the Scottish highlands, a stroll through the streets of Paris, Istanbul, Beijing, or many other city. I would like an experience that puts me in a canoe in the Boundary Waters, or on a raft in the Grand Canyon. Such videos do not require a story line, a narration, or other intrusion, only the ambient sounds. 

Imagine this for ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, Sengoku era Japan, the Aztecs. Or even 180° movies where you don’t so much watch a scene as step into it. 

The killer app is a myth. It’s something that worked at the dawn of personal computing, but it doesn’t hold true. The “killer app” for the Mac in the modern era was OS X. The “killer app” for mobile was iOS. The killer app for wearables was watchOS. The “killer app” for AR/VR is visionOS. Killer platforms that allow developers to unlock new possibilities is what has made all of these products successful. There is no one app that’s going to come out and be a sudden eureka moment for users. visionOS was the big eureka moment. It’s visionOS that unlocked new doors for developers that will lead to a million different apps that will each appeal to their own audience. Just like what happened with OS X and iOS.

As noted above, those of us paying through the nose for Amazon Prime, now find out we were nAre ot paying enough to escape ads. Now they want $36 more a year.  Apple will do the same.  Apple One is $27 per month, it will go to $30’without ads.  You see Apple under Tim Cook has had virtually no growth ideas in 10 years.  So he must  increase subscriptions and charge for Ads wherever he can.  Time for a new CEO who can bring some fresh innovation to Apple. 

Are you high? Apple under Tim Cook is worth almost 20x more than it was 10 years ago and their services revenue has exploded from virtually nothing to almost $100 billion per annum. iPhone revenue is up, iPhone market share is up, iPad has made the rest if the tablet market basically irrelevant, AirPods are a massive success, Apple Music is a massive success, Apple TV is growing, the Apple Watch is a massive success, Apple Vision is doing better than anyone thought it would or could with an introduction price of $3500, they are supposedly about to unleash AI that is years ahead of where everyone thought they were in the cycle and they successfully completed another platform migration to get away from Intel. Tim Cook has taken what Steve left behind to a level that I don't think Steve would have even been able to comprehend.

But I concur about the ads. They didn't do it with Apple Music when everyone else was introducing ad-supported tiers, so I hope they stay the course with Apple TV+ as well. The only thing that will be totally understandable is if they introduce ads specifically for sports content, which has naturally occurring breaks in play. That will be the one concession I give them.
