  • Apple cancels AirPower wireless charging mat, citing quality issues

    Is this the first time Apple have cancelled a pre-announced product before it launched?  Only thing even remotely similar I can remember is the 3Ghz G5, which wasn't an announcement so much as a vague promise.

    I wonder if they'll go back to the old favourite of only announcing things that are ready to ship the same day.
    There was a period in the 90s where multiple announcements regarding then Mac OS just fizzled out and never was released in any useable from, if at all. This was also a period of customer frustration.  

    SJ firmed it up when he returned to Apple and you will be hard pressed to find any announcements not shipping during his two periods of leadership.

    I have to seriously laugh at some of the hater comments here. Time after time when Apple has a blunder with one of their products then the haters go on a rampage saying Apple's QC has gone down. Today the company announces their wireless charging mat is presenting some technical problems and they are not ready to ship it. Sounds like the company is on top of the QC here. Apple doesn't want to put out a faulty product and the trolls come alive here trashing Apple for doing the right thing. Hmm. 
    It has gone down, and it not trolling. We see quality issues both in hardware and software that would not have slipped in the past.

    Tim Cook was supposed to be the QA and supply chain guru. Awesome. Another dot point in the Keynote of failures. 
    He also came from Compaq. Enuff said.

    LOL

    Perhaps it will teach Timmy & Co to go back to good, old, well tested Apple product management practices of NOT announcing product till they are ready to ship (meaning they are also properly tested)!

    Now if they had done the same with certain keyboards too,  a lot of grief on both sides of the coin would have been avoided.

  • Apple's services bonanza 'sizzle, but little steak' at launch, needs more details says ana...

    The most disappointing is when Apple calls for an international launch, but in reality only launch products and services applicable/available to the US market, it feels like being invited to a birthday party and being denied the cake. 

    Unless they set themselves up for global delivery to their global customer base, backfilling slumping coffers caused by decreasing hardware sales and market saturation will be very difficult. Granted, most of these non US markets will be more sensitive to services pricing.
