  He is a supply chain guy. He did a tremendous job on making sure you need for every single thing on an apple device either an adapter or a repair that cost more than the device itself. Since Tim took over, the only noticable succeful disruption from a technological perspective is Apples M silicon. The rest is old wine in new bottles.

    They did an attempt at VR, just because it didn’t sell doesn’t mean they didn’t make technically the most capable VR set

      At that price, they weren’t going to sell much. What jackass thought people other than the most rabid fanbois was going to spend $3500 on a beta version of tech that hasn’t got a killer app yet?

      It’s easy to make the most capable product if you disregard the price point completely.

      but it was a me-too attempt, almost a copycat of existing hardware… hardly innovative

  I mean, it kinda sounds similar… what’s the last innovative product from Apple?

    Apple was never really that innovative. Their business model was to take recent innovations, like handheld computers, package them up all nice and shiny, and market the hell out of them. That’s what sold the iPod, even though there have been plenty more technically superior devices. Same with all their other products.

      You’re not wrong. I’d argue the iPhone was quite innovative. I laughed when I heard Apple was gonna take on Nokia. Nokia was a juggernaut at the time. Apple presented Nokia’s proverbial head two years later. Quite the turnover. Apple is still living off iPhone profits 15+ years later.

  They’re living off the rent from older products. What’s their last innovation? Vision Pro??

    Yes, it wasn’t a success, but at least they are trying. What’s the last Google innovation?

      What does Google have to do with that?

        Why are we expecting Apple to be innovative in particular? None of the big companies are doing that
