  • Apple's design team leadership in flux once again with Jeff Williams retirement

    MassiveAttackMassiveAttack
    Replace Tim now. He is as old as Jeff. 
    A product guy would be helpful. 

    Many people speculate that John Ternus could be the next CEO.

  • Tim Cook isn't going to get fired, and Steve Jobs isn't rolling over in his grave

    MassiveAttackMassiveAttack
    Good thing: Tim Cook executed and realized ideas of Steve Jobs very well. Based on interviews with Steve Jobs, he dreamt about devices like "something on your head" (=Vision Pro), "Personal devices" (=Watch, iPhone, Airpods etc.). 
    Tim Cook´s execution was successful.

    Bad thing:Given the fact that Steve Jobs asked the founder of Siri 35 days in a row to let him buy Siri, Tim Cook completely ignored the crown jewel (=Siri) for over 10 years. 

    All CEOs can´t have sucess at what they do. Sometimes, failures happen. Mistakes happen.
    But Tim Cook is unlucky because the voice assistant Siri, which is the key of Gen AI, is a part of his failures. 

    Sometimes and unluckily, one failure is enough to put the future of a company as a question mark. 

    Now, Apple is at a crossroads: Apple will be either 80s/90s IBM or Coke of the 21st Century with strong MOAT.

  • Apple rumored to be in talks with Anthropic and OpenAI about powering new Siri

    MassiveAttackMassiveAttack
    Crazy that the stock is up on this news, because it officially confirms that Apple ideas way behind. 

    Is it (as the article says) true, that ChatGPT or Anthropic will run on device, so that they don’t get API data from Apple? 

    Otherwise, it is no good news for Apple for long term.

    Yep. And it's billionaires saying "Just hang in there. Sure it will get worse, for you, but it will get better". Half truth half lie. Yes it will get worse for us, no it won't get better.

    I see that Apple is treated very unfairly.
    But Apple has been "friendly" in terms of their pricing policy. 
    I think Apple will not be heavily affected by raising prices. 
    It isn't just Apple that's being treated unfairly. It's pretty much anyone importing anything into the US. I'm curious to see if the "Trump Phone" ever ships and at what price compared to the current quoted prices, since it's NOT "Made in USA" as was originally stated. The walked that back quickly. It smells like vaporware, but I hope it's not and MAGAts everywhere buy it. Well except that it also means money in Trump's pocket.

    What does But Apple has been "friendly" in terms of their pricing policy even mean? You think they're not going to pass on any cost increase to the customer?

    "I think Apple will not be heavily affected by raising prices." Huh? You don't think Apple paying almost a $Billion more in tariffs in one quarter isn't heavily affected by rising prices/tariffs? Or do you mean Apple will not be heavily affected, because they'll be raising prices? Either Apple doesn't raise prices and eats the increase costs, they pass them on to customers, or a little of each. You and I have a different definition of "heavily affected'.

    If I understand correctly, Apple has not raised their prices since iPhone 11 or 12 (Not even since Covid 19!!).
    In contrast to Apple, even Pringles, Milka, Snickers etc. have already raised their prices since Covid 19. 
    Basically, ALL goods have become more expensive since Covid 19.

    I have not seen dramatically increased prices at Apple tbh. 

    That´s what I mean "Friendly".
