Apple shows its 'massive battleship' is getting tougher to move

  But, without disruptive new products, sales seem to be stuck in a muted place. And the next swing at big disruption, Vision Pro, starting next year, feels a like a slow build, initially.

  Fuck stock market analysts. In one sentence it’s “they don’t innovate.” In the next sentence it’s, “they innovate, but I want them to do it faster.”

  How often can you expect a single company to disrupt entire markets? These expectations are not sustainable.

    Makes sense to me. The battleships Apple is building are larger than what is needed by modern navies, so they’re selling fewer of them now than they did in previous years.

  This article is written like Apple is fresh out of startup stage and isn’t a nearly 50 year old company.

  Apple’s strongest force is marketing. It’s their absolutely greatest ability. This video says it best: “Apple is a recipe company, not an innovator”.

  And second best: “It’s not invented until Apple does it”

  So, Apple doesn’t have to innovate. They just have to copy a good idea and market the shit out of it claiming they were the first, and Apple lickers will gobble it up at whatever ridiculous price is dictated to be “premium”.
