    Tesla's Robotaxi announcement was the final nail in the coffin.
    Oh good god, no it wasn't. It was the farce of an announcement, more empty promises waiting to be officially broken with time. "Entering production by 2026, although it could be as late as 2027." He had to announce something to drive his stock price up, so he did, he announced a prototype, and the market responded with a 9% drop in Tesla shares price the following day. Oops!

    One of the best burns is that Trump is publicly slating them calling autonomous vehicles "concerning" after Musk campaigned with him over the weekend.

    This is not a surprise after the extremely boring, underwhelming, and non-compelling Apple event. Android phone manufacturers have vastly surpassed Apple in terms of innovation and offerings.
    Blah, blah, blah, why are you posting here? You're the consummate negative nelly, coming in here to drop a flaming bag of poo, for what reason? Grow up. Your posts are all the same, you're not contributing to the thread with the same nonsense negative shit every time.

    Cause android devices may not last as long as iPhone ?
    Exactly, which would make sense regarding support of the OS, plus Apple's phones, even base models are fast for years, no reason to upgrade when it still just works.

    iPhones are a depreciating asset with a residual value. Whether you keep it for one year or four means that it costs you £40 per month or £20, i,e. a difference of 5 caffe lattes per month. People would happily spend this if the phones changed physically. People spend money on fashion! 
    Two posts to say you want the physical form to change for change's sake. Good god, it's a mature product, the fact the exterior doesn't change is because we've pretty much settled on what works. You want an articulating arm that turns into a toaster or something? Maybe a realignment of your expectations is what's required here.

    And the article said they upgrade for function, not form.
