If there is, they must have radically improved their leak control because I have not heard about it.
It's not the Watch & AirPods! They are great!
It's the Real Pro's MacBook Pro's and Mac Pro line thats been allowed to rot and not given the attention they need. Apple needs to wow this market to recapture it.
Then we have the other side ... Home So is the current HomePod it? How about one that offers what the current one failed to address: Mesh WiFi, AppleTV intergration and lastly multi-user support!
Every year there's less people continuing to wait. And now apple is all about fashion and image. A very fleeting business it takes so little for what was "cool" to become "uncool" in a heartbeat. Just ask blackberry.
Once the fashionistas desert the ship which is inevitable, there will not be any core fanbase left.
You forgot a 1
$199
This is Apple...This won't just deliver "power" but power that is juicier...sexier..."better".
Your iPhone will notice the difference and the whole experience will just be more "worth it"
Remember?
Do you need some help finding your way back into the Reality Distortion Field?
It's ok - we all forget the narrative we're supposed to be consuming from time to time
;-)
lol
I have never been blown away since he has been the ceo.
Every year people are surprised because Apple release the same products and say that it’s the biggest update ever and think people would believe it

The AR glasses are a waste of time and Apple should stay away. They’ll flop. Apple’s media push (with upcoming Netflix competitor) is brilliant. The car is a great idea. The financial services (credit card) are a great idea. Update the iPod touch to give kids an entry level product and move the iPad to a more pro OS. Robots and prefab houses are about two decades away for Apple but that’s where I think they’re headed. Keep doing incremental changes to iPhone and Mac. That’s it.
A lot of pessimism here but I’m positive! iOS 12 was supposed to have new features that got postponed so I’m sure iOS13 will be a really awesome update. If not apple is shooting themselfs in the foot. They must’ve learned from their mistake of the trash can design too. If not I’m not sure what to make out of it.
That's literally the story every single year..
"iOS X was supposed to have X, but didn't, and X got postponed to iOS neXt"
I wish they'd figure out how to actually deliver announced features even remotely close to when they say they will.
Absolutely. They might blow some customers away. But the features of the new products might attract enough new customers to replace the lost ones. Thus keeping top-line revenue the same or higher.
Apple doesn't care about you, your price sensitivity, or your needs, if they can replace you with 2 or more new customers willing to pay even more over the long run.
Apple likely makes a ton more from AirPods sales than they ever did from LaserWriters or QuickTakes.
Didn’t he already say this a few years ago? I’m still waiting for those ones.
That's a scary treadmill to plan your business around.
Killing off existing customers in that way has a deterrent effect on procuring new ones as the ongoing business behavior doesn't happen in a vacuum and potential customers are able to observe the impacts to existing customers before jumping in themselves.
what if they cant?
i'm not saying that that's currently what happening or not. But the statement you said is an "If". that implies there's a possible of other options.
what happens if the people leaving due to those factors aren't being replaced?
I think by the time when Tim Cook is overthrown it will be too late to get apple back.
The post didn't mention this tidbit about added capabilities for the USB-C port on iPads Pro...

And or simply noticed the outflow of customers and thank their lucky stars they aren’t in the ecosystem and having to worry about what to do now.
Getting new customers is not anywhere close to easy/simple or something you can count on doing at a 2 to 1 replacement rate, as was suggested above.
