An exclusive, real-world look at the haptic buttons Apple developed for the iPhone 15 Pro
No argument about not throwing good money after bad, but it does seem that ten years of effort and $10B was to no avail. I think they finally realized they weren’t going to outdo Tesla.charlesn said:
To no avail? Hardly. They spent years trying to develop an Apple Car and, having learned through that process that there wasn't a sufficiently profitable or successful business to be launched, shut down the project. Sometimes, that's how it goes and it's a helluva lot better fate than becoming another Fiskar, Rivian, Polestar or take your pick of EV also rans that probably aren't going to make it. (In Fiskar's case, It's already out of business.) Sometimes you have to be smart enough to take the loss and move on rather than continuing to throw more money at something that is unlikely to change its ultimate fate.cg27 said:And they spent ten years spinning their wheels on a vehicle program to no avail.

Apple Intelligence inches closer to Apple's 1987 Knowledge Navigator
Um, interesting story, but go back to 1968 when 2001: A Space Odyssey blew everyone’s mind, on several levels, the tech depiction being just one. HAL, tablets (albeit “laying” on a desk since they were 50 years ahead of the tech), etc etc
Lets not give Sculley any credit for this.

The next Apple CEO: Who could succeed Tim Cook?
All of the following companies currrently have an engineer as CEO:
Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, AMD, … and yes, even Apple (as well as countless other successful tech companies).
Amazon was founded by Bezos, with a degree in Electrical Engineering (not commonly known).
Elon has a degree in physics which is similar to engineering, and he has an engineering mindset no doubt. It shows when he speaks about the challenges of starting and running Tesla and SpaceX. No marketer, designer or HR lightweight could ever match his wits.
Every astronaut who’s walked on the moon is/was an engineer.Even LVMH, the fashion powerhouse, was founded by an engineer, and run by an engineer. Go figure lol.
Why is this important? Because engineers understand how to get things done, not just give spin or worry about how something will be perceived. They play chess when everyone else plays checkers. Look around you at all the infrastructure, buildings, bridges, satellites, planes, medical devices, automobiles, rockets, computers, internet, AI and so on.If it’s a female they pick she’ll likely be an engineer.
Maybe it’ll be a non binary engineer. But an engineer nonetheless.
Craig F seems the best choice, if he’d want to.
Tony Fadell would also be a great choice.

Decade-old Apple Car project may be completely dead
Agree. Over the counter hearing aids will disrupt traditional over priced sets, but Apple can take it even further with phone and watch integration AND remove any stigma by making them fashionable, not unlike AirPods. I know they know this but where are they?aderutter said:If Apple is focusing upon markets with larger margins that is great news. Apple might want to disrupt the Hearing Aid market next, I know someone who paid handsomely for some recently that are pretty poor quality despite costing thousands.
