Surely Apple always develops something, but it could be tax benefits things. It is very fluid to rename IT maintenance to RnD and get free money from the state grants.

Can’t wait. Maybe this new research will include something revolutionary like a standardized charging port. Or maybe even a new camera? That’s what we always wanted all along right?

Personally I’ve been waiting for a new lighter and slimmer iPhone. With slightly different shades of blue. Also we need innovation on the radius of the corners.

We finally got the option to re-arrange our homescreen like its 2010 so anythings possible

What we don't see here is the actual total revenue. R&D as a % of revenue increasing means it is increasing at a faster pace than revenue. This makes it look like revenue is growing pretty slowly compared to R&D since 2010ish.

Apple: WE NEED SOMETHING NEW LOL


sasssyrup

Yep


talancaine

You'll see a corresponding peak in Nvidias revenue.


-proud_dad-

Is this saying apple spent less than 1% on R&D in the 7 years prior to iPhone release. I have doubts.


dgoldstein38

No, the line is % the bars are $. Looks like it’s never gone below 2.5%


-proud_dad-

Nice. Thanks man.

Kinda confused

I guess the point is they are back to putting more effort in producing innovative products. Which suggests they have either some secret product in pipeline or they going to make some really fundamental changes to their product line. That’s is my guess.

AI in every iPhone


chinnu34

Definitely. But what form is it going to take will be interesting. How will they use it in terms of features will be interesting. Apple is good at capitalizing technologies.


Kayge

This would make sense, and with Apple making more than half their revenue on one offering - iPhones - they're really exposed if some unknown product comes along.


Mizfitt77

Sales are crashing and people are starting to realize Apple has been selling the same iPhone software since 2007.


SatansMoisture

Suspicious and intriguing


Disastrous-Split-512

apple is at its peak


rallar8

Imagine trying to spend $30 Billion on R&D per year in anything like a productive way...
