He really never misses the opportunity to say Good Morning!
Tim thought of entering EV business when Tesla was the only one making them but now there are over 10 makers.
Apple failed to build their own car and instead will sell you a virtual experience driving another car. Bravo.
And before you virtual car tuners get any ideas, understand that Apple will block any aftermarket modifications. Only OEM upgrades will work. It’s a car manufacturer’s dream come true.

Makes more sense than Tesla, from a marketing/aesthetic perspective
He could expand it to: "Good morning, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"
That was an odd plug. Way "over-produced". Lacks the fun-in-the-moment" feel that belongs in that announcement video.
Why not? Tell us more. What is the definition of "turbo-charged"?
I hope they enter the mobility sphere in some capacity, even if it’s not a car. It would be so cool to have a super high quality, futuristic looking Apple electric scooter/motorcycle or something

Quick math...
Apple said there are 2 billion Apple devices (iPhones, iPads, Macs) actively being used by customers. Some people have multiple Apple devices. Let's say the average number of Apple devices per person is 3. That means there would be approximately 666,666,666 individual Apple users worldwide.
When you say "most" Apple users will be using the Vision Pro in a few years, that means more than half of the 666,666,666 individual Apple users worldwide will be using one.
You think in a few years (how many years is considered a few, 4?) there will be over 333,333,333 people using the Vision Pro? Apple would have to produce and sell over 83,333,333 Vision Pro's per year over the next 4 years for your prediction to be true.
That's more than the number of Macs or iPads Apple sells per year.
I don't see that happening.
Compared to you, me or most everybody but actual rockstars he is.
And, frankly, I’d rather see Tim than many rockstars.
Tim Apple is so much better on a screen than ANY CEO on earth. The German guy is very awkward on screen.
Apple's bread and butter (iPhone) is right in the sweet spot of the middle class. They are also an aspirational tech/lifestyle company which attracts both economically lower and middle class customers even though those people might not be able to afford expensive tech. In other words, a poor person can buy AirPods and still feel like they're in the same club as the rich guy who buys an Apple Vision Pro on a whim.
Yep, "Turbo" has never been used in an electric/electronic setting before...
Nope..
Completely unheard of.
Unthinkable..
So, Apple scrapped its entire iCar project (on which it wasted untold billions) just so its CEO could moonlight in a Porsche ad?
