Wonder how many focus groups Steve Jobs used to develop the iPhone?  Asking for a friend. 

Instead all R&D funds will be aimed at designing AirPods with noise canceling as a service subscription.  Yes if you want noise
cancelling it’s an extra $5 per month.  This will be quickly followed by “see thru as a service” for $8 per month for your Vision Pro.  Apple R&D “we never stop not innovating”. (You can subscribe to the Apple Not Innovating Substack for $7per month.)

I second the thought on replacing Tim Cook.  The only new product is a niche Vision Pro that won’t move the needle. Billions wasted in search of an EV when all he had to do was partner with Tesla (you make the platform, Apple makes the design and infotainment center).  The stock has zero growth and its increased revs are due to rapid escalation of services subscriptions. Time for new leadership and new direction. 

Enjoyed the first few episodes but toward the end it got pretty woke and the hero pretty lame. He went from being Reacher to being in touch with his feminine side. Perfect for the new Hollywood and Apple unfortunately. 

Some good ideas and advancements with R1.  Remember Steve Jobs was about this age when he introduced the Apple Computer.  Apple needs to get off its rear end and start innovating again.  SIRI has done virtually nothing in the last 5 years.  The Vision Pro has a very limited market in its current configuration, though everyone says it's only the beginning.(we will see)  As a long time Apple shareholder, its lack of innovation is very concerning.  How's that Apple Titan car project that has consumed billions in R&D?  Maybe Tim Cook can invite the Rabbit CEO in for a conversation....
