    A Apple car is kinda silly. Car tech makes sense, buying Tesla.. maybe... Build a damn desktop computer and automate the home would be awesome.


    At this point I am not sure how Apple would improve upon the user experience of driving. Personally I am not into self driving cars, self driving train that works for me. But driving a cars is a personal experience I enjoy doing. Today I take mostly back road driving to work which I a little longer but I enjoy the drive far better than taking the regular commute routes.

    But automating the home is a far more complicated problems, not every home in the world is built the same way so their are so many problems to solve this will only complicated the solution. In a sense, it easy to build a car than automate most homes, The car you control all the systems in a home someone else over many years made decision about the control systems.

    Yeah, if they want to do a car, I agree buy Tesla. The will be able to add the one thing Tesla is lacking (deep pockets) while the stick to their core competencies (software and devices). Tesla has manufacturing, stores, chargers and design in place. They also have a revenue stream in place. Apple has nothing right now. The problem with a failure in the auto space would not be just the money lost, but rather the taint of failure and the lost focus from the company. Better to have the Tesla division of Apple.

  • Apple to launch 4" iPhone and iPad Air 3 in first half of 2016, analyst says

    The high side guidance from Apple is not 77.5m iPhones, it is 77.5 billion in revenue, Apple does not give guidance for individual products. Street estimates are for just above the 75m iPhones of last year, so 77.5 m would be a beat. Street estimates for rev. in the q are 76.5b. The problem WS sees for Apple is the channel fill, so I would look at channel fill and, of course, guidance for the March quarter.
