Fair enough. To be clear, I don't state Apple isn't inventing anything, they do all tough "inventions" are, in some cases, controversial. Just like Google and so many other companies Apple too often claims to have invented things while they actually existed all ready. In the case of the iPhone it's no invention of the machine in my humble opinion but rather clever thinking instead by combining several existing inventions together. Cleverness can change the world too
In that context the Google car isn't an invention either, it's a "car" but with a very smart computer on board. But just think about the idea IF the world, or the majority / good part of it would actually use such cars instead of the regular cars? That would have a tremendous impact on the environment.
So yes, now to think of it, invention or no invention is within the eye of the beholder in many cases.
Very true.
I can't state I do know, I also rely my stagings based on merely rumors. But as far the rumors go I do think Google is busy "inventing" more controversial or rather more new stuff that actually "could" change the scene on how humans using devices in a more dramatic way then Apple does right now based on "rumors". The "smart" car and Google Glass is more challenging in my point of view then a bigger iPhone or a watch with several capabilities. And if the watch will be round, as rumors go, then I find that a bit conservatives, instead of coming out with an all new kind of experience a device around your wrist it's just a round watch with possible a leather band or made from metal of your own choosing like regular watches. Could still be great looking and still be an add on on some sort but my first impression of this news says that it doesn't appeal to me that much.
But yes, you're right, that is also based on rumors. Apple might as well come out with something entirely new or even with a round iWatch but one that does do new stuff in a way people couldn't imagine being possible and within that context being revolutionary in a way. Let's just hope Apple will surprise and does come up with something really daring.
I think the point I'm trying to make, general speaking, is whether Apple or Google or any other company is coming up with something "daring" and "revolutionary" rather then something people already are aware of but just with a bit more bling to it....
Look, for example, to all these inventions people from all over the world coming up with on several kick starters projects? I see Apple paying millions or even billions in Beats headphones to regain more sales in the long run on selling music and music based products if that would be headphones or streaming music services. But that's not investing in a revolutionary new asset but rather in a "extra" all ready existing business (Spotify). I would very much like to see that Apple is not only investing in ways to enable some kind of boost in sales on the long run but also in business that are truly trying to chance the world. Why making investments in a platform where home security devices could jump into while such platforms all ready exist. Why not come up with some kind of self made Apple device(s) that truly change the field of home security just because of the capabilities that devices is offering? Why gamble on people "wanting" existing devices with Apple support?
Again, all based on rumors, I sure hope I'm mistaken here. But so far I haven't seen any changes made by Apple that shows signs that Apple will come up with something entirely revolutionary. Let's hope I'm wrong here
p.s. sorry for the long answer, I just love to drift away with these kind of discussions so to speak.
