Will the COVID-19 disaster sink Apple's premium hardware?
More relevant to the Q. “ Will the COVID-19 disaster sink Apple's premium hardware?” is that we’re waiting, waiting and waiting for AirTile, AirPower, AppleHeadphone, AirPodsPro Lite, AppleGlasses, AppleCar, iTV, iPhone SE2, MacBook 14”, iMac, HomePod 2020. No, it’s not COVID-19 that is the (main) cause of delays - although it will certainly be attributed being so. The core problem is the dispersed focus on all the services mentioned, the CEO not obsessed with products, and the money addiction of the immense Tech Bureaucracy he created reaping fruits from Steve’s ideas. Steve said: “Stay lean and mean, stay foolish, focus on products” Tim did: “Become large and keep counting, focus on cash” Hence its inability to act as a lean, mean and innovative aggressor. It has become merely defensive, sadly, where keeping market share is key and innovation considered merely disruptive. On the individual employee level that translates “Think different” into “Think indifferent”. -
Best alternatives to Apple TV's Siri Remote
dysamoria said:They can do better. The question is “why won’t they?”“Stay lean, stay cool, stay foolish” is what Steve said
“Go for the masses, milk the formula, target the bottom of the pyramid” is what Tim did.“Think Different“ is what Steve asked.
“Think Indifferent” is what Tim introduced
Consequently by its addiction to wealth, the company intellectually almost starved off. -

Apple Buyer's Guide - which MacBook Pro or MacBook Air should you buy in March 2020?
Thx but just the keyboard makes the choice simpler than ever.It is just incredible/unimaginable how many butterfly MBPs are being sold TODAY.
Most of the lineup should be in the Joni Mauseoleum by now (together with the SVP’s that ruined their brand over the last decade...)
At least, offer free Kleenex tissues to wipe & clean key imprints on the screen -
iPhone supply delays could extend into April as suppliers battle coronavirus
So there’s 3 basic rules for production at this scale: diversify, diversify, diversify.
It’s just unbelievable how dependent Apple still is on a single country (China) and a single supplier (Qualcomm) given their respective risk indicators.
This mismgt. would have lead to a leadership crisis at any other company
