Assisted and self driving cars will be a huge benefit for Seniors and those with diving limitations. The big wave of Babyboomers is just about to crest, could be banner years ahead for companies who get it right.
What I'd like to see thinned out is there product line. Concentrate on fewer better items.
Yes, Big Pharma!
I know it's fashionable to poop on Google around here but I for one use their services all day, every day. It helps me in work and life to answer any question I have. If I need to repair something I find tons of hands on videos on Youtube etc.....
So if I have to look at some ads in return and Google knows my preferences that is a small price to pay.
They are doomed, it's just a matter of time, if you had been here a while you would know it's imminent as people go on about how Apple won't be here this time next year and it's he begging img of the end and so on....
But in the meantime they seem to be stubborn enough to keep generating tens of billions of profits from all this garbage they produce threat nobody wants. Not sure how you can make a profit when people simply refuse to buy it, but it keeps happening!
Most would view this as a positive development, but I don't know...
When you're keeping company with Walmart and Exxon Mobil, you can't help but wonder if generating revenue has eclipsed the corporate values that made Apple what it is today.
Or perhaps I just have a case of the Mundays.

You want to re-address your definition of evil. Child murderers are evil, alphabet are not.
And poor WalMart. They are closing stores because the stores are not making enough profits... I hope they don't go under anytime soon...
BTW, Trump wants to tax Chinese imports 40%... I wonder how WalMart's customers are going to manage that.

Exactly, profit is much more important, and Apple is #1

More like Android fans are tired of losing the "thin" race...

Yes... bash the "big pharma" all you want.
When you really need them, everybody eats their own words in silence.
You are aware that Google's motto is "don't be evil" right? I don't think they were taking about avoiding killing children. When you claim to be a company that does no harm you have to expect to be called on the carpet when you do things that seem morally questionable to some.
Certainly not. At least judging by profit or revenue.
[doublepost=1465239858][/doublepost]So glad to see Apple's continued success. This is a great company that makes great products which people love to use.
I don't care about profit other than consumers' perspective.
Folks love to go wild about money.
In other news – with a focus on technology – Apple dropped from 23rd (2014) to 31st place (2015) of 62 vendors.
Is someone back tracking, yesterday they were evil, today they are morally questionable.. what will they be tomorrow.? A nuisance? Stop playing to the gallery, thinking that slagging off any of apples competitors gets you likes and up votes. Pathetic.
I don't know who you think you are talking to. I didn't say anything about Google yesterday, other than respond to your post. I'm not the person that made the original comment. I was pointing out that your comment made it appear that you were ignorant of the fact that Google's motto is don't be evil, but looking at the rest of your post you are just ignorant, period. Don't know what your problem is, but you need to chill out, dude.
Behind Exxon Mobil, the company that lied about knowing about climate change, and has bought politicians as human shields for its millions...
Apple is so much better than that...

The only Apple product that NEEDS to be thinner at this point is Apple Watch. It's definitely chunky. The laptop line, tablet line, & phones are all adequately svelte!
Most wanted: better 3D Touch- added to iPads for faux physical controls in apps that you can actually feel "click" (or slide, or whatever...), multiple user accounts (or at least a guest account option) on iOS 10, a new Mac Mini to replace my now defunct late 2009 27" iMac (just found out that I can use it as a monitor for my Mini; when I get it!), & that's really my immediate list.
I do respect Apple's cunning with their new tiering for storage - VERY clever. Make 32gb the low (as we've seen now on the last two iPad releases...), but then- eschewing the 64gb option, make the next tier of 128gb a $150 leap, instead of $100. Damn. Fiendishly clever. Whatever they lose out in profit from giving the 32gb now in their cheapest option, they'll likely make up in the extra $50 in mid tier pricing. *smh*
