Lets just face reality. Siri was a good attempt at first but got leapfrogged by the competition years ago. Every progress is still progress but it’s like their attempts with maps, iCloud, hardware. The competition is making more progress. Apple has lost on voice and should implement Alexa to stay relevant.
Same with MacBook Air. 10 years ago it was amazing but when you neglect it for 10 years, competition will catch up. Same with Apple TV, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro and even the newly introduced iMac.
Ive has been too busy decoration the new Apple campus, Tim too busy with politics and finding new ways to squeeze more money out of loyal customers, Phil too busy rehearsing old victories, federighi too busy squashing bugs and scrambling to keep up with competitors, Eddy too busy talking and drinking with Hollywood stars.
People are complaining about the stability of OS X and iOS and demanding for incremental stable updates each year. But be honest... those past updates were incremental updates already and are only playing catchup to what the competition already has to offer.
Maybe Apple has been working secretly behind the curtains at the next great thing. And I’m really hoping they do. Because I can’t imagine that a company that big, with so much money on the bank, is releasing so little with so little progress the last couple of years. It’s almost shameful.
iTunes used to be the standard for music. It’s lost to Spotify.
The Mac used to be de facto standard for creatives and moviemaking. It’s lost to Windows, Adobe and HP
Apple used to be de facto standard in education. Google and MS took that crown.
iPhone, although nice, has gotten too pricey and the competition is already ahead of them in many ways.
Apple is targeting novice users, the tech dummies who care less about money these days. There isn’t any roadmap, there is too less progress and in my eyes it’s has gotten a complete mess in all the key areas they once excelled.
Mobile congress in Barcelona is around the corner and will put even the iPhone X to shame.
Unless a miracle happens, for me, Apple already lost by greed and neglect.

I think the echo dot and google home will be offering the same even before Apple’s HomePod will see the light of day. It’s a feature that can also be accomplished by a $ 30 dollar device and you don’t need a $ 400 HomePod for.
