    The current MBA models feel too thick and too heavy. As are the iPhone Pro models.

    Definitely missing Steve Jobs
    And Jony Ive?

    Having used 2 airs for many years it is difficult to look at the current models and think of them as airs because of the wedge being gone.

  • A software engineer wore Apple Vision Pro to his wedding, much to his new bride's chagrin

    Could this have been staged by both of them for publicity?   It would not surprise.

  • Abandoned $10 billion Apple Car project referred to as 'Titanic disaster' by employees

    You just have to find the humor here - this article is here about it being a disaster and there is another recent article about Apple reaping rewards for years to come,  i thought i saw it say giant rewards but that seems to have disappeared.   Seems more like a giant waste of time.  I don’t think Tim Cook is a car guy, he may know just about nothing about the auto industry.  He would have to release control and get out of the way, giving full control to somebody to run such a big project.  Did he?  

    But,  how can $10 billion be spent and have nothing on the road to show for it ???!!!   I’m really amazed if that number is true.  I think that real car companies have been founded and actually made cars while having far less than $10 billion dollars to start with.  LOL

    i think this was just too big of a challenge for apple

    maybe those staff can have another go on the AirPower 
    No. This was an excellent decision. Apple should stay as far away from the automotive industry as possible.
    Perhaps they should have made “decision” 10 years ago.  It seems pretty clear that electric car sales have stalled along with possibly interest in them from large majority of consumers.  Cold weather battery issues and heavy tire wear of EV’s are just 2 of their problems. The hybrid approach is gaining ground while current ICE cars are not going anywhere anytime soon and other fuel technologies could be available to more consumers soon?  It seemed that Apple would only have been interested in a full electric vehicle, correct?  If so, could these latest market trends have been the final straw so to speak for Apple to end whatever they have been doing?
