Apple Innovation
- link A Crisis of Innovation at Apple https://youtu.be/wlZTmG3gR_o This video nicely summarizes lack of innovation at Apple. #tech #apple
- vote Most innovation: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, Microsoft? Which of the big tech is the best if I want to work on new innovation as an engineer?
- Microsoft is more innovative than Apple, Facebook or Google http://m.timesofindia.com/tech/tech-news/Microsoft-ahead-of-Apple-and-Facebook-as-most-innovative-place-to-work-Study/articleshow/53673766.cms? What do you guys think of the findings of this research?
- Apple Employees, did innovation die with Steve Jobs? Every human being in the bay and the media just slap this idea around because it's just so easy to do so when someone as visionary as Jobs disappears. Tim Cook is always saying "we've got some great new products in the works" but we just haven't seen it. More diversification of products is not inno
- Why is it called FANG? And not FANGMA. Are Microsoft/Apple not competitive with compensation or innovative anymore? Just evaluating whether it's good to work there.
- Move over FAANG, it’s MAGMA now With Netflix down the shitter and Facebook becoming Meta, it’s time for a new big tech acronym. I present to you MAGMA: Microsoft Apple Google Meta Amazon. Wheres my $200k TC? #innovation #impact #tech
- vote Why apple needs Amazon PIP Amazon maintains its status as Earth's #1 employer and most innovative company in the universe today. Google, Microsoft, apple. These are now dinosaurs, consistently failing to innovate at all turns, lagging behind Amazon. How does Amazon maintain its success ? The great work ethic. The performanc
- vote Which one is the next Microsoft? In terms of being outdated, less innovative and lower pay. #Apple #Google #meta #amazon
- What should Apple do different See a number of posts/folks criticise Apple/Tim for lack of innovation. If you were to advise Apple/Tim what would you propose
- Rating of FAANGM in terms of Innovations This is personal opinion. - Google - Amazon - Microsoft ( teams is really great) - Facebook - Apple ( innovation died with Steve jobs) - Netflix
- link Apple Patents Ability to Take Long Distance Group Selfies Innovative or gimmicky? https://www.macrumors.com/2020/06/07/apple-patent-group-selfie/
- vote Would there be a iPhone 12 if Steve Jobs were still alive? Wouldn’t Apple have innovated something new by now and their entire revenue would be focused on that new product lineup?
- Is Apple the new Google? (In ML/AI products) Being specific to certain orgs. Apple ML/AI org has become hard to interview and get an offer in the past year or so. Imo they are more innovative and productive (in terms of product) than similar Google orgs. Google has become the vest and rest capital. At the same time Apple offers the job safety
- link Patent troll wins $300M against Apple Software patents, in general, are mostly bogus. These patent trolls are the worst of an already bad system. They are the real bane of innovation, and should be shutdown. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-ip-idUSKBN2BC04I
- vote Apple will never beat Tesla? I mean honestly. Apple to enter car market and self driving vehicles starting productions in 4 years sounds like a joke to me. What are the chances of them competing with Tesla (or even other automakers) with decades long experience, strong brand, great products, high growth and especially lots of
- vote Samsung: why pay so low? Interviewed with Samsung for giggles. And I like their phones a lot (sorry Apple, no iphones in my house). They offered me senior staff 🎉! Level up! Then the comp offer … TC $280k 😨. No stocks. wft 😳. How can samsung remain competitive with that low TC? Do people just love samsung? Won’t Google
- How is Metaverse different from Steam and AppStore? Metaverse is just a bunch of apps grouped together, exactly what Steam has been doing for 20 years, similar to AppStore + Apple sign in. How is Metaverse suddenly an innovation? #meta #metaverse
- vote End of year MANGA/FAANG ranking! I've been seeing some shift in Blind's perception in companies. Google continuing to jerk themselves over brand name, lowballing offers harder than ever before. Amazon vowed to become "earth's best employer". Facebook is now Meta. Apple is at peak of innovation (MACS HAVE CHARGERS!!!) SO, WHO IS TH
- Is this a good, safe long term investment strategy in stocks? Top tech companies like Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix are highly likely to stay here for long time as they have very good tech, are constantly innovating and have lots of money needed to innovate and to take some hit. Do you think it is a good, safe long term investment strategy to equal
- Apple HW: still has the charm? 5 years ago iProducts were beloved by both fans and non-fans. As of today, seeing the not-so-innovative HW products from Apple, has the HW lost its charm? And is just a cash cow now..
- Why is Netflix (which I acknowledge is an awesome company) part of FAANG? So, there's Facebook/Meta, Apple, Amazon and Google/Alphabet - all massive technology companies with multiple, diverse hardware and software products - who are also continually trying to innovate and create the next big technology "thing." Then there's Netflix, who creates a single product that the
- Congrats Apple on the IPhone 13 Congratulations to everyone working at Apple! The IPhone 13 looks great and I’m excited to buy it! The amount of improvements design wise and internally they made on the new iPhone is monumental compared to the 12. Keep on innovating!
- Which big tech companies truly grant time to work on side projects? Talking about e.g. the „20% Project“ from Google. A dedicated budget of 10-20% per week to spend on pet projects, either personal, for education or product innovation. Does Google still offer this across the board in 2022? Do others, like Atlassian? If it‘s not a flat percentage of time, how else
- vote is AAPL a good long term hodl? I am contemplating whether or not to put a large chunk of money on the stock for 10years. I’ve been an apple die hard fan for 10+ years, but every new iphone nowadays is pretty much the same as the previous model. even Jason Calacanis said in his book Angel that he is worried about the future of App
- link EU Policy A Money Grab Every time I take a look at European News, I see the EU pushing more regulation targeting Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. In reading through a recent article, I saw that the EU is taking up to 0.05% of annual worldwide revenue from these companies to “monitor” them and I think it’s absol
- Why is Apple part of FAANG? Not salty or anything just curious. And before anyone attacks I don't think MSFT is FAANG tier either. Apple nowadays is just a cell phone dealer. They don't have any hardware innovations and their software is crap and boring. Last I heard Apple employees get no benefits like free food etc. Atleast
- vote Macbooks vs surface laptops (windows laptops) Folks from Microsoft and Apple hardware please chip in. Two titans , unimaginable money. Why do these products differ so much? Is it Microsoft is more complacent? Is apple more innovative? M1 chip Macbook air/pro is sooooooooooo much better than a equivalent surface or any other laptop (windows ha
- vote Goldman Sachs "sell" rating on Apple --> LMAO First off, massive congrats to Apple employees. I'm a huge Apple bull and have held the stock for a decade. Best investment I ever made. Period. Thank you for all that you do! Second, I would love to hear from both Goldman and Apple employees on the former's sell rating. How does Rod Hall still hav
- link Fred Wilson (VC): Apple and Google App Store monopolies must end https://avc.com/2020/09/mobile-app-stores-and-crypto/ “I am strongly opposed to the monopolies that Apple and Google have over mobile apps that run on iOS and Android. I am rooting for Epic/Fortnite in their battle with Apple over the 30% tax that Apple charges developers for distribution in their
- Challenging hardware roles? How is Apple’s SPG? Blind —and our world for past few decades — is heavily software dominated. Are there any promising startups in hardware with a small team? I know apple has been working on a car for a while and I even have friend who works there and is annoyingly tight lipped about it. Anyone here who works on apple
- vote Evaluate Airbnb vs Apple offers Apple: 300k, year 2/3/4 will be better based off refreshers, stock is low, so good time to join Airbnb: 350k, based on the current stock, also it’s a paper money, not sure about their refreshers. With Airbnb, what kind of tech are they doing these days, have they hit the rock bottom with the innov
- Apple Employees - feedback on recent events? I've read all the negative press but really would like to hear from current Apple employees how they feel about the internal dynamics within the company and how they feel about the state of culture and innovation there. I've been at MSFT for close to 20 years and have worked under the Gates, Ballme
- What's the future of Tech companies? I feel: Google and Amazon are strongly positioned. Microsoft will end up becoming IBM v2 - relevant but not elite. Facebook will die in the next 4-5 years. Apple will continue to be on top provided they keep designing high quality products and innovating. Else they'll become RIM v2. What are your t
- Get out of FAANG and boost you career Title pretty much sums up it all. FAANG companies were the dream companies of the 2000s / 2010s and were very fast growing with exciting career opportunities, bringing many innovations to the world. As they became huge companies they have become the equivalent of past corporate companies, with emp
- Should I switch to Google ecosystem? I’m currently a junior in high school and use iPhone 11 Pro, MacBook Pro 2019, iPad Pro 3, AirPods Pro and Apple Watch 5. As you can see, I’m in an Apple ecosystem. I think I’m going to use these for about two or three years but Apple doesn’t seem really innovative nowadays so I’m thinking of switc
- vote Apple Event: iPhone 12 I'm happy Apple brought back iPhone 5 with a better camera and 5G. This is what we call innovation. Proud of you Apple. Are you going to buy the new iPhone? Edit - Live Updates: 1. Stronger glass by 4x 2. Apple is going green by removing adapter and headphones from the box and keeping the price

Been working with Apple 5+ years. Working overall for ~10 years. The work has not been rewarding at all, and Apple has a terrible growth path in the field of data. I discussed this issue with my manager, but I feel ignored and I don
- Best career path for Hardware/Imaging (possibly vision) for MS? I am one year away from my graduation, with a year intern experience with good imaging/semi companies. I like hardware and image (both the hardware and algorithm) and think will build a career in either, especially in innovative section (design/architect/pathfinding). What is a good career path in
- What makes Netflix a FANG? Seriously though. What is it that makes Netflix be considered a FANG? Is it the pay? The working culture? The innovation (really?)? Free food/perks? I barely see posts talking about interviews and salaries for netflix. When i look at google, amazon, and facebook (and even microsoft and apple) I se
- Apple (high) ICT4 vs FB E5 I have gotten verbal offers from both at the levels mentioned in the headline. No comp numbers yet though. Apple has a company-wide shutdown for Thanksgiving and Facebook said they would come back with comp numbers next week. Now, I've a fairly good idea of the of the kind of comp I maybe offered f
- vote Holding tech execs accountable Should we start trying executives of powerful tech companies for crimes when they don't deliver? For example, Tim Cook has run Apple into the ground by not delivering a single innovative product since Steve Jobs died. Even worse, the company hasn't even kept par on industry standard functionality (l
- Good tech companies in Seattle Getting very tired of the standard tech companies. I have worked at fb and amazon before. I want something new, exciting, work I love, innovative, something that will change the world. In Seattle - anywhere but Bay Area. The main cool tech I see is in transportation, thinking Uber and Tesla. Any oth
- Apple Referral??? Hey guys, It’s always been my dream to work at Apple, and be apart of their design team. I was wondering if anyone would be up for extending a referral? Not chasing $$$ here. I just have always loved their products and innovations. I’d like to be apart of that, but it’s so hard to even get looked
- vote What are the chances that FAANG suffer the same fate as ex-large powerhouses of the past? During different periods in the past, different companies have enjoyed peak revenue and influence like East India company, IBM, Enron etc etc. Then either due to lack of innovation, changing geopolitics, bad management, fraud, growing too big and many other reasons they fail or die. Will the curren
- Why isn’t Microsoft FAANG? I feel like everyone on here considers the most prestigious tech companies to work for to be Amazon Apple Facebook and Google (not really sure about Netflix). But why not Microsoft? IMO Microsoft has generally competitive pay, lots of diverse and innovative tech, and the leader/ one of the leaders i
- Is Google lagging other FAANGM in innovation? Amazon may be the butt of most jokes here but it is killing it and the stock shows, Netflix is fast expanding in the pandemic, Apple posted stellar Q2 results despite pandemic and is growing its subscription based business, Microsoft has moved in the right direction with Teams and Azure cloud platf
- What are some pros about working at apple? I know about half a dozen people who used to work there and not a single one has anything positive to say.
