  • New Apple TV 4K gets fix for storage space bug

    williamhwilliamh
    This temporary issue has undoubtedly caused incalculable damage to several people who may not even own AppleTV 4k but who nevertheless are representing all of us and are in the process of obtaining legal representation right now as I type.

    Historically speaking, Apple has been most successful in distributing existing industries. Alas that was under Jobs. They often waited till the market matured and leveled off, then swooped in with how to do that better. Not sure if that’ll continue under Tim and team
    I think you're ignoring the performance of Apple under Tim Cook's steady hands for the last 11 years.
    Apple market cap October 30, 2011 (3 weeks after Jobs' death): $376,210,000,000
    Apple market cap Nov. 13, 2022 (11 years into Cook's leadership): $2,380,000,000,000
    I think Cook has proved his ability at this point.
    Cook has been great. I understand it’s a lot harder to grow an already huge company (haven’t done it).

    Still, a little context to Jobs’ results: Apple had a market cap of about $2b when it went public and about the same when Jobs returned to Apple in the late 90’s. So Jobs took Apple from $0-$2b and then from $2b to $376b.

  • Apple's Emergency SOS is coming in November, after $450M investment

    This is a pretty amazing feature that I expect will always be a money loser.  I thought Apple was relying entirely on an existing service and simply building in the antennas and software to access it.  Although all owners of new iPhones can take comfort in having this rescue feature available, hardly anyone should need to use it, thankfully.

  • Apple to begin mass production on AR & VR headset in early 2023

    williamhwilliamh
    The first run is anticipated to be limited, with rough estimates at about 0.7 million units for the year. Allegedly, Pegatron will be the exclusive partner for the final assembly.
    0.7 million units for the first year or 0.0007 billion units - sounds much worse than 700,000 units.  In any event, that's more than the iPod starting out and people knew right away what that could do.  I think Apple is repeating a plan they and others have used before of shipping the product for early adopters and developers and ramping up as the content and product evolve.
