May be they were adopted by someone in western mass :)

Someone I know has an Alpaca farm in Western Mass…he sends their “wool” to Peru to get them stitched into sweaters, gloves etc.

I hope they don’t call it Copilot or AI PC park.

Agreed. I am trying to find a correlation with another demographic…can’t seem to pinpoint it 😉

I had told you to stay away from weirdos :)

Define “toxic” :)

I think it already is (and Apple’s roadmap is taking it further). Apple Silicon now enables them to accelerate this roadmap.

Oh and I should add that they are all based off the same OS foundation…case in point, the ability to run iOS or iPadOS apps on macOS.

Please do share the stats of how durable these devices are over average lifecycle.

You don’t need any further than the Google’s debacle with Android, ChromeOS. Or Microsoft’s Windows attempts. How has that gone for these vendors? Need I get started about Tizen, Fucia, WebOS etc. etc.? I think a single OS across all devices is a UX/CX nightmare.

Relative to? Which other voice assistant is better?

How successful have vendors been with folding screens? I think Apple would have to compromise durability to introduce folding screens. Same with super large screens and battery/practicality. I am sure they’re looking into it for future releases. I don’t think that makes them any less innovative.

Ah, so this is where we’d agree to disagree. I am focusing on what they accomplished via the software stack (e.g., Rosetta2). As an example, I have been running Windows on Arm ever since M1 MBA, and it is still WIP after 4+ years. Meanwhile, interoperability on the Mac has long been forgotten.

3/3. I agree that Apple has traded innovation for stability, and their xOS products are now more stable than cutting edge. I think that is what happens when you have a billion+ devices running out there. The company somehow becomes responsible for UX/CX more so than considered as cutting edge.

2/3. What is the reference for innovation on the mobile side? Android, Windows? Samsung? Google Pixel?

1/3 Hmmm. I don’t disagree, though I’d be curious which of their competitors has dramatically changed laptop design. The fact that the M-series processor inside has put AMD and Intel on notice, isn’t that innovative? MacOS today is more stable and integrated with the iOS ecosystem.

Which part? Apple has not innovated (enough) or that they don’t enable access to their walled garden?
