Peter Thiel 'Confirms' the 'Age of Apple is Over,' But Says It's Not Tim Cook's Fault

Holographic projection chat rooms with friends.
Virtual reality 1 hour mini vacations.
Digital artificial assistants, friends, pets and "relationships". Yes, a little scary.
Cars with windshield overlays that can augment what the driver sees. Think safer night driving.
Computer screens and televisions with 3D depth- no glasses required.

Get to work!

Inevitably progress will plateau but it seems a little outrageous to say the age is over. The phone will likely control every electronic device in our lives from our tv to our washing machine and even the car so I'd say there's a lot more innovation to come. But what do I know.

Agreed the age isn't over. Our phones can do more than ever before and technology is expanding every day. The iPhone will likely in the future Exclude any hardware buttons over time and perhaps long range wireless charging. Those are just two idea's of where the iPhone could be potentially heading. All in due time, when the time is ready. Technology is years ahead of experimentation, most likely beyond what we can understand at this current point.

The thing all of these tech people don't understand is that apple is a fashion company. People want to own and be seen with the latest apple tech. it doesn't really matter if has significant improvements, as long as it is perceived as being "cool", people will want it.

The the thing all these "Tech" people don't understand? Really, tech people? Let me help you understand then. Because your "Cool" comment is surface deep without providing any evidence

Looking past your short sighted post, Apple makes some of the most successful products on the market today. A 42 Billion dollar company that sells millions of iPhones a year, Releases one of the most successful Smart Watches on the market, record sales for the new MacBook Pro and the Airpods that have rave reviews with orders booked out past March. But that's all because Apple Is a fashion company? Cool has nothing to do with it. Apple makes products that work well and last beyond most competitors. Cook has taken Apple heights Jobs never did.

The only person that doesn't understand "Tech" or Apple for that matter, is you.

What do the Tim Cook links have to do with anything?
I buy apple products because they have good fit and finish and are easy to operate. But there is no denying that apple is a fashion company. They even market themselves as such. Cook and Ive did an interview with vanity fair saying as much.
What is wrong with being a fashion company anyway?

So Apple market themselves as being a fashion company according to you and Vanity Fair 'Saying as much.'

Then can you provide a link or quote where Ive and Cook stated that they are "Fashion company" according to your post above with Vanity Fair? I would like to verify your quote and read where they both stated they are a fashion company.

Sorry it's a vogue article.

I believe I said "stated as much". The article is all over the web if you care to read it.

It helps if you can provide links to prove a point. Asking others to do the research to your thesis yourself only increases the feeling that rather than a suitable quote all there is is your opinion.

Mr. Gates, I beg to differ. Seeing that your a fan for the 640kb (Ram) phone devices. Can you tell me what phone out there that has 640kb of ram that can perform just as well as the Note 5 and/or iPhone 7.
