Takes me back to the 20th Anniversary Mac (yes I'm that old), that made it as a (Dis)Honourable Mention  in PCWorlds "Worst Tech Products of All Time" feature in 2006. Overpriced, underperforming and finally killed by Steve togehter with that "damn scribble toy". 
Let's see if Tim Cook can pull of yet another failure after the Car, outdated Siri, the 'thin'/stickkkkkkyyy  MacBook Pro keyboard,  overpromised/underperforming Apple AI.
Definitely not looking forward to that. But I bet it will also be overpriced.

Makes so much sense to not chip from China ... then again, tomorrow the orange clown in the White Power House might figure this out and also increase tariffs on India, Vietnam etc.

It's about time Apple removes it's focus from the US market and finds other markets in the world.

They haven't  told you!? 'MAGA - Make America Go Away'  ... back to the so called good old day, where the US was an agrarian society with a few mega rich.

This is laughable. Apple has rarely delivered all it's feature to EU users (eg. Apple News is not available to most EU citizens). Lot's of other features (e.g. TV+, Fitnes) came later long before the EU did get involved, quite often they never came.

OK now it is Apple AI time (which is not available in the EU). That Apple now claims this is all the EU's fault is just a lie. They just don't bother.

Why should this be a tentpole feature pulling buyers to become/or stay in the Apple hardware buyers!? You can watch these shows on several SmartTVs for a long time already and they've also released TV+ on Android. So no specific reason to stay.

I do hope that something more is coming (let's say severance for the Vision Pro in 3D or something). Although I've given up hope that Apple can innovate like they used to in the 00's.

Right now this smells like a huge money drain with little to show for (except for Tim getting invited now to Hollywood events).
