Apple's Carpool Karaoke Series to Have a Different Host Every Episode

For the slow burners ... car karaoke has nothing to do with their core products, brands, capabilities, and strong points. This is just another distraction from where they need to be. Ultimately, this karaoke nonsense will not help to sell more Apple branded devices, services, etc. It's a gimmick like the free U2 Album that no one wanted several years ago.

Clearly you weren't around when Apple Computers was three months away from bankruptcy and had so many unrelated products that you scratched your head on which one was which. Things got so bad that the board begged Steve to come back. When he did he got rid of all of the nonsense and focused on no more than 3-4 products.
Furthermore, Apple's management hierarchy is very flat. They can only manage so many things. That's why we're seeing them goof up so much.
What you're seeing now with this karaoke nonsense is very similar to what happened back in the late 80s and 90s when Steve wasn't there. History is repeating itself.

In other words, what does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

You mean Apple is three months away from bankruptcy? Doomed?
lol still a far cry from original, exact same 3 British hosts doing a car show with a live audience..
The Grand Tour was good for a couple of episodes but after those first two episodes it soon turned to rubbish. This American tool testing cars what a joke he is.
So you don't think Apple is heading for ruin? My reading comprehension told me that was what you were suggesting.
I guess you really meant that even though this looks to you a lot like the 90s at Apple, this time you think it will be different.
Spot on. Very sad.

Spot on. I do. 12 years back I had a studio with 30 Macs pounded by students all year and nothing ever broke. Later I bought an iMac, The rest is in my signature.
This worked ONE TIME, the time you thought it was by happenstance that a bunch of celebs may have lip synced in a car pool, the FIRST TIME, and then it was over.
Is Apple serious? lol

Not booking Will Smith previously doesn't make any sense, dude has 6 American Music Awards and 4 Grammy's, he must have been too good for the usual pop-tarts they have on.

Apple's dying right in front of our eyes and we're helpless to prevent it
While Tim Cook is the CEO, there's no hope for Apple.
So Apple is putting money into producing a series derived of what was popular on Youtube a year ago? What exactly is the business case behind this and can Apple please stop being a 50 year old trying to be hip? Remember when Apple ads and announcements brought up cool and unknown indie artists instead of "One Republic is my favorite band".
So boring. Why not make 16 episodes of Dr Dre interviewing Tim Cook. And a 5-hour special of Jony Ive speaking about his meticulous design process which yields same ugly iPhone design three years in a row.
