If you want to see AAPL really dive, wait until tariffs are extended to iPhones.

The Mac Pro as a product is a round-off error for Apple, even if it’s wildly successful compared to other products in that category of computers. Apple is just too much of an iPhone company.

Cook has bet on services and media for the future of Apple. Not new hardware. He may be right, but I personally think it’s a mistake.

Think bigger! China bans anyone from doing biz with apple - boots apple out of china. All manufacturing has to move overnight.

…other than 64-bit mobile computing*, viable fingerprint ID, 3D face ID, force touch, AirPods, computational photography, 5K desktop computers, gesture-compatible trackpads with force touch, Apple Pay, Apple Watch with accurate heart rate and ECG measurement capability, and a whole lot of fundamental R&D that will show up in devices over time*.

Yeah, other than those things, no innovation at all.


* Nice example here:

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/27...ld/?page=3
"Our fruity friends earlier this year stunned the world, actually, and stunned most of ARM's employees, in fact, by releasing the latest version of the iPhone supporting and including a 64-bit processor…They'd done that incredibly secretly and ended up stealing a march on the whole of the rest of the industry. It was quite a staggering achievement, to be honest."

Yes, "quite a staggering achievement".

AA, the silicon design team at Apple is truly world-leading. However, almost all other examples are tech Apple purchased - touchID, FaceID etc. And Apple is WAY behind google in computational photography.

Whether the push for health will keep Appje’s lead in wearables is a good question. But they are basically the last major Big Tech betting on that market.

And yet no other company has released anything comparable to the iPhone's Face ID.

No, it's not:

Huh? As far as I know, Apple is pretty much the only significant tech company in that market!
