This guy has lost his status and credibility honestly, after making iPhones too thin I never liked his style and his obsession with thinness
I doubt it's coming anytime soon. It increases my productivity and lets me spend my work hours more effectively.
I agree but that’s the direction the powers that be are taking us…. In the end, it won’t play out well for most people.
Well, we could ridicule them relentlessly and not buy their products...
There should be a red circle and a line through it as a poster wherever public safety may be a concern.
How about if the device is a smart Pen?
Something that sits in your pocket or can stay on a desk.
The valuation seems absurd, does the company even do anything or is it just solely for the Ive's name? I mean by all means great for him, but it's like he was given a blank cheque and Ive added the amount just for lols, but then actually received it. I love ChatGPT but Sam seems a bit nutty.
There isn't, the piece of paper was an amazing invention waaaay back yonder; then along comes the digital piece of paper, and believe it or not that digital piece of paper is a big effing deal! iPhone or iPad!
There's a wearable future, but you gotta have your OWN piece of digital paper with you at all time now-a-days or at least not too far away!

Apple is currently in business of selling phablets. I miss the days back when they used to sell phones.
Heavy RSI from prolonged use of Apple Magic Mouse?
But seriously, I think he might be a bit on the autism spectrum and is maybe also not in a comfortable situation (public speaking).
Meh, I've seen it all before back in the day...
Or he's just a bundle of nerves aka social anxiety. Ironically a massive low comfy armchair is counter-productive to the aim of a "relaxed" chat here, when that chair is on a stage, in front of a live audience and cameras going out to millions on YouTube.
There's a reason he never presented on stage at Apple events, and only showed up on screen, cropped as the talking head video segment, talking about product design.
I can see why it looks odd but if it were PD-related dyskinesia, it would be very likely his speech would also be periodically affected and there's no indication of that in the Pat Collinson interview here.
Well, I'll never trust anything Altman has to say ever again. He just paid $7B more for Ive's POS company than it was worth. Ive is SO overrated: "forget a powerful device with great battery life, you want thinnuh and lightuh because Jony knows what's best for you."
