What's sad is that people don't seem to realize that:
Apple didn't get to be a $2T company:
- wasting people's time with unnecessary fluff in the reveals
- presenting "meh" product updates for years in a row
- wasting money, time and resources
- by becoming a simple consumer product company that forgot how to innovate
And this is not a love Apple at all costs post, but posts like the above signify a big disconnect in the reality of how the world at large perceives Apple.
That Apple makes a lot of money does not mean whatsoever that it creates innovative products.
Furthermore, a lot of money is actually being made from services rather than products.
It took them 4 years to acknowledge and fix a bad keyboard design on the entire Macbook line.
It took them 6-7 years to come with a new Mac Pro design after a failed trashcan design.
The iMac has a 10 year completely outdated external design.
Apple upgrade timelines have become pathetic.
Once again, many other companies make billions, which does not mean they are innovating.
