Apple has reached full product maturity. A company whose operating system is 30 years old, its complete suite of apps 20 years with a flagship product that has been leading for a decade and unchallenged in the world still operates like it doesn’t know what it is doing yet. So still betas roll-on, features break on new product that have worked for decades (aka word completion) which begs the question. “Why has Apple not invented test V&V modules further integrated into AI engines putting Mac OS XYZ through a gazillion paces, scenarios and permutations.
How does it even think that the company, its skill and resources could _ever_ hope to scale the business up? Much less undertake the achievement of a RTOS, 99.99999 fault tolerance safety system and simply support product in a million mile competitive marketplace? At a point in time that the products it produces exhibit problems with thermal stability, battery degradation and software integration I do not see the technological nor executive vision in the decisions it has made.
From its operations, to R&D to its bold decision to make another young startup build its future cars in partnership the trend is perpetual startup thinking. Apple is no longer a start-up venture capital enterprise.
