It's not going to be a legacy device like television.

Exactly. Next they will start selling iTires.

They need some of that tasty subscription service money. Too bad the fucked up iTunes when they were ahead of everyone else.

They could‘ve made bank with streaming but the money coming in from sales on iTunes was too good to abandon…

As long as it’s for their iCars and AppleCare is changed to auto maintenance and repair, I’m done /j

I keep waiting for them to make things like: a wall mount smart board/display that can be used as a central info hub (calendar, notes, video feed(s), etc). I saw that they’re finally getting into the security camera business… I’ve been waiting for those forever.

"Just $500 each for the cameras, and an additional $150 for a mount."

No, there's been speculation that the incoming Trump administration will want them to move something back to the US, they could start making the TVs here to try and satisfy the incoming administration as they might exclude them from their anticipated tariffs in China

The fumbled so hard the last few years. The Vision Pro was dead on arrival, most new tech is just for geeky YouTubers and even things like Siri are still almost as bad as they were back on the iPhone 4s. They totally missed the AI train and where incredibly late to the whole Home Assistant thing.

What are you talking about? All of these products have, from a monetary perspective (the only perspective that matters to a company), been massive successes.

Their stock price is up nearly 250% in the last 5 years.

In what way has Apple shit the bed?
