Did you have to take it there breh? :gucci:

But yeah, Apple is in trouble brehs. How are you going to transform into a software and services company when you don't have a killer app anymore?

Apple's had a huge advantage / hook with the iPhone for the last few years, yet doesn't really have anything to show for it with respect to killer VR / AR, AI...anything. All while sitting on huge piles of cash.

I like Tim Cook, but as brehs alluded to, he seems to have no vision.

Apple had an advantage with Siri and is now getting completely washed on voice assistants. Almost all of my friends are iPhone users, yet I don't know a single person that has an Apple HomePod. Almost all of my friends have smart speakers at this point.

Apple Car: Let's hire people to make a car :hula:Let's fire people and stop making a car. Rinse and repeat.

Apple has a huge advantage over Google in AR, but the best it's been able to do is replace your face with a pig's. :mj:Thanks Apple. Meanwhile, Google's figured out how to let me search by taking a picture. Things are moving fast.

I'm holding out hope that getting Jony back in the mix design-wise will stop the bleeding in terms of the designs of these phones:scust:, but I have very little hope for innovation side of things.

Always thought his quote from Jony explaining how he and Steve Jobs fed off of each other was interesting:



Try to imagine Tim playing Steve's role in this, and I think you have your answer as to what the future looks like if he continues to be CEO.

You don't think iTunes, Facetime and iMessage are killer apps? Damn near the only things keeping people from even considering Android. there's no equivalent for them

FaceTime and iMessage, absolutely. The only time iTunes gets ANY burn is for backups for me. It's more cumbersome than useful for me outside of that. And even with that point, FaceTime (the newest app in that list) is years old now.

Chinese customers are WAYYY more price savy then americans. This is coming from someone who has over 10 years of sales experience. So this is no surprise.

As someone who recently made the switch from droid to iphone last year i do agree this years version there's nothing to them.

Now the airpods on the other hand?? Those are the best apple invention since the macbook :wow:

I agree with this as well though. Apple's "brand" is that they are better then everyone else. So as long as the "need" to stunt is there in american culture i don't see apple being moved from that #1 spot. These are the same nikkas that buy 35$ "apple brand" cables lol.
