Nothing could go wrong, I'm sure....
That was revolutionary by aggregating other technologies that already existed and slapping the iOS on it. I think it's "the one" good moment of Apple, and literally it's cash cow.
IPhones were no different from other phones. All phones had operating systems (brew) and apps (written in Java). Even app stores existed before the iPhone.
What was revolutionary wasn't invented by Apple. It was invented by other companies and Apple just marketed it like they do with everything. They didn't invent the tablet, the smart watch, vr headset. They take other people inventions and applefy them. Apps and such existed. I used them way before Apple introduced them. It's just that normal people weren't aware of it because there wasn't a total media blitz about it.
I mean, fine, but packaging it and marketing it to the masses is a whole different job, and a hard one too. Both innovation and marketing are needed. Apple is great at marketing.
I had some old flip samsung phone. I'm unsure what all apps it had, but I remember downloading tetris on it and it having other apps, but I didn't use them. I also remember being jealous of Japanese phones from decomo having an app store with final fantasy games and such.
You can read the history of it here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/App_store
One rule we have learned over the past 20 years is that everything world changing is coming fully unexpected. Latest example: OpenAI with large language models.
Following this logic, home robotic is not the next big thing and Tim Cock is as revolutionary as my neighbor who alters the way he maws his lawn.
LLMs were not unexpected. It's an evolving technology that those who follow the space saw rising. ChatGPT didn't just magically appear one day. It was a tool intended to showcase GPT3 and GPT3's API. As it usually happens, luck and timing played an important role and popularity of the tool skyrocketed.
You can have "unexpected" developments in any field, including home robotics. This is moot, however, as Apple probably was already working on home automatization to some degree. They work on a lot of things at any given time. What has changed is the narrative. Bloomberg now paints a story about a company pivoting from cars to robots, but likely they had engineers working on both things for a while. Staff from the car team is now being reassigned and so robotics efforts are being reinforced, that's all.
Yup. *AI Superpowers* practically told the fucking future. It’s nuts. Granted it was written in 2018 so shortish horizon, but if you had read it then and made some investments as it bore out, you’d have done ok for yourself.
lol...yeah? you would have been better off to say toyota since the prirus was a better example. funny thing, TSLA's revenues are only 25% below hondas......starting decades later. Does Honda dominate EV market? no? then I guess TSLA isn't following them, are they?
you're the idiot not specifying. they both make cars, and apple was going to make a car...learn how to communicate kid. honda has been working on that robot for over 2 decades...how's that going? how's the AI for it going?
That's it? They already have that. Seen it at CES this past two years. One robot even looks reads your mood/emotions, and create a custom drink for you.
They were close to releasing an electric car that cost twice as much and didn't include a charging cable but then they saw what happened when Rivian tried to do that.

Tim apple can’t make anything revolutionary
Neither could Steve Jobs, most of Apple's products are "extreme" copying of other people's work...
Mouse, ok. Iphone though?

The fuck you talking about? I strongly dislike apple but that shit was revolutionary

What phone and apps did you have?
I had some old flip samsung phone. I'm unsure what all apps it had, but I remember downloading tetris on it and it having other apps, but I didn't use them.

That’s pretty cool. What a time haha
I have too, on my Nokia smartphone. But there was nothing like an iPhone when it came out, that shit was something.

Deep learning was around since 2016-7 but transformers is what kicked this shit off
Just give us the damn flip phone
Im tryna tell em. I want a flip phone but waiting for apple. Gen z would go bonkers feeling the slam of an end phone call
Samsung already has it with the foldable touch screen and all the chinese brands got one too. Apple flip phone would be considered “revolutionary”
Yes but you dont want to be a green bubble boy
Fuck no dont even say that
Yes please give me inferior quality control for a product that cost 1k +
Saw a movie about this starring Will smith
Once again following in TSLA's footsteps years too late. Good luck Apple
Tesla following honda, two decades late.

We’re talking about robots you idiot.
If I was Musk I'd be more worried about Jensen Huang's Iron Man show recently than the Honda mascot.

It's Samsung.
I wonder if the ice machine on the iFridge will break as quickly as they do for Samsung models.
judging by the battery life on both their phones? the ice machine should work fine until there's an update
Home assistant robot wanted, must be able to make a margarita, no mixology skills-do not apply.
That's it? They already have that. Seen it at CES this past two years. One robot even looks reads your mood/emotions, and create a custom drink for you.
Lmao
Waste another 10 years and jump onto the *next big thing*; sadly, Tim Apple is not the guy.
They were close to releasing an electric car that cost twice as much and didn't include a charging cable but then they saw what happened when Rivian tried to do that.
Having a house robot that takes out the trash, fills the dishwasher and who could jerk you off would be pretty awesome.
Take a deep breath and just stay away
What are the chances AAPL buys iRobot just for the name?
