  • Group FaceTime is only the latest of many Apple technologies to be delayed

    Though I see the above as valid points that must cause plenty of grief on both the software and hardware front... COME ON MAN!
    They had 3 times the SW and HW in the 90s. Macs, printers, monitors, a camera.  It was a mess, but they did it and could barely afford to advertise.
    Managing the supply lines and hitting ship targets was the nightmare under Spindler and Amelio. THIS is not that Apple.
    This is a Trillion $$$ company.
    Apple's R&D budget is what??? $3 Billion.
    When I supported and repped for them on 1999, their Annual sales were only $12 billion and falling. Their R&D is now 1/4 of that.
    Just how many people work on these projects? Are they just to fat?
    Multitudes more than worked on original Mac, Newton, or OS7/8/9. 
    The HomePod took HOW LONG? And they still can't get Siri/AirPlay2 to know enough to see that you have two homepods and want them to run in Stereo by default as a preference.
    Microsoft & Google have have been doing multi-face chat and conferencing for sometime now. This is not like inventing Quicktime.
    Just sayin...  ~S
