Pace of innovation has tanked. CEO & COO are from Ops backgrounds, and more focussed on an efficient supply chain vs building next gen products. Comes with benefits— they bucked the us-China trade standoff, have uninterrupted supply through shortages etc. long term they’re dead if they go down this path (iphone 13,14 new ipad all minor improvements over previous gens)
Pace of innovation has tanked… said many people forever
People judge so easily
People judging quickly is why Apple used to get massive PR for launching great products.
I used to think the same until they delivered the M1 chip
how long ago was that project started though
I think that's also kinda the point. They have long term innovations. They don't try a million things quickly and hope one pans out like Google does before proceeding to kill those projects in a short time span.
This “more efficient supply chain” business is exactly how Apple stock exploded over the last decade. Jobs had vision, Cook had scale. But it’s a balancing act. I’d argue that Apple hasn’t done anything as explosive as the iPhone or iPod since. It probably is time for a new visionary to take the helm—for a time! We’ll see how this VR business pans out. I don’t think Apple is super interested in VR; I think they’re hedging their bets in the event that Meta has presaged the next big thing.
First gen iPhone —> iPhone 5 was a massive leap. Since then it’s been a slow optimization game that’s grinding to a halt
Hard to hear you over the AirPods I’m wearing, whose market cap can buy LinkedIn
Innovation or running out of ways to push a paper thin class divide in America?
You’re so worried about how a massive company approaches innovation, then why not start your own?
Who on blind does anything with their lives beyond corporate slavery
Apple's like Toyota. New features are slow but they work when they finally roll out. But not like an iPhone will last more than 5 years
Bad comparison— (1) Toyota has the best hybrid tech (Corolla 60mpg), (2) average car in the us is 13 years old- reliability is super important (more than phones)
Well if you go by blind almost every company is not a good place to work , us economy is already in deep recession and nobody is getting jobs, streaming is dead, crypto is bad , no company is innovative enough or on the path of slow painful death ! You know this are all headline hunters and just shows how pessimistic one section of people is !

“Prestige” vs Money/WLB
I always thought it was weird how apple didn't try and get into the cloud market share like Microsoft
They got into the (much, much smaller) consumer cloud market. Probably easier to turn margin positive
