I was referring to Mac products, not really iPads and iPhones. You do solidify a point I have made many times. Apple would still be the Apple of the early/mid 2000s without the iPod/iphone/ipad. Hope they don't screw any of those up too much or they will be treading on dangerous grounds. Right now they are high on success of the iPhone.
Got a tip for us?

NSA is looking to spy on people while disguising as an autonomous car. Mystery solved, you're welcome.
I saw this same van last week in a parking lot in Morgan Hill. Walked up to it and asked the guy if it was a google mapping car. He said yes. However, he was seated in the passenger seat with a ruggedized and mounted tablet with a map on it and no one was in the drivers seat. There was someone in the back seat though. The silver things were spinning on top. I assumed they were cameras. The black circles looked like some sort of sonar emitter/receiver.
Full ultra thin sapphire windshield, with ultra clear high resolution retina headlights.
but you can only refuel at MFi pumps only either electrical or fuel. Of course there are MFi adapters you can purchase only from Apple retail stores.
Theres also an optional Apple Care Super + and covers 3 incidentals for a small deductible.
A DeLorean! If you are going to build a time machine, street view mapper, or self driving car, why not do it with some style!
KPIX was the station that interviewed him. MR, et al. were just quoting that story.
But the point is well taken. That guy must have compromising photographs of a lot of "important" people.
I believe they will enhance flyover so that in some places, you can "land" and see a 3D "street view". Currently flyover doesn't go to very low altitudes.
Are you perchance going to any parties soon? If so, please tell us which ones, so I can be sure to skip them.

Lol, np... I apologize for not suffering fools gladly!
Please do skip attending any of my parties. I have zero interest in being around you. =)
I hate that about google's system, but never realized that was the reason for it's clunkyness. I'd be willing to bet Apple is using the same tech as flyover, just putting it on a van instead of a plane. Which would be sweet.
You'd need a self-driving car that works without maps, and that works on all roads that you might want to map. I don't think we have that yet.

Hope he doesn't predict that iPhone 7 will outsell Android
Having used Apple Maps lately, turns out many searches are not found. Searches are not as good, maps are not as detailed, not as fast, but map look nice. Keep it up

Apple never equals cheaper
I think they were referring to the production cost, not the exorbitant product price.
And if the battery dies, the entire car will be replaced as there is now way to replace the battery...
hahahaha yes!
1 year standard warranty and AppleCare will not cover accidents or spills for the 3 years unless you upgrade to the AC+. Then there's a $10k deductible.
Oh! iCar shuffle!
Lol a car that takes you to random places across the country and you don't know what it is until you get there XD
Oh I hope the same , thats why I dont want apple to spend a lot of effort and money into building the backend for its own map app that is nowhere close to what google has. I want it to inovate on its front end and interaction, not spend years trying to play catch up with correct street names and places with google .
I never said that. Its not the competition aspect I was talking about .
I am referring to the enourmous head start google has
The app that was bundled and used by hundreds of millions for years without a lot of complaints ?
