Everyday Apple seems more interested in becoming a entertainment company than a technology company.

That's because since he started, Tim is turning Apple into a services company. They can't rely on hardware sales any more to grow profits, especially since he's not an ideas man like SJ was. Focusing on services and products that have monthly payment plans will keep Apple's shareholders happy.
 
Apple is failing to indoctrinate the millennial generation so why not go straight for the youngest of them all.
I barely know any millennials who don't use exclusively Apple devices, so not sure what you're talking about. I literally only have one friend on Android.
[doublepost=1529581102][/doublepost]I'm totally on board with this! As a matter of fact, I'm on board with anything that will make whiney macrumors users complain that things are changing and Apple is branching out.
 
Apple seems to be making a lot of very expensive shows with big celebrities, big name directors and producers, and big production companies, whilst simultaneously looking incredibly boring...

I hope they prove me wrong.


If nothing else, it may convince you the futility of judging shows based on a one or two sentence description interpreting the show that hasn't even been produced that someone posted on a website

Wait, I thought Apple "sucked at services" according to the trollers? LOL. Yes, Apple is making over 10 Billion a quarter on services now, but they are making a growing amount from hardware as well. But, you're right, every idea that ever came from Apple during the Steve Jobs era was from Steve Jobs, and now that Apple has hundreds of thousands of employees, every idea still comes from the CEO. No, of course not. It's a myth that the CEO has to be "the idea guy." They just have to be the person who recognizes good ideas regardless of the source. Their job is to separate the wheat from the chaff.
