Apple's new strategic direction

[d000hg]

Isn't there a Apple conference this month? Maybe we will see something new.

Unless we get the new Mac Pro, probably only product refresh.

Apple are biding their time waiting to see what the next opportunity is. As Nick said, these things don't come along every year and people have to be at the right point of receptiveness.

Several flawed premises in there. Stick do the day job. Poor analysis.

Why don't you tell what Apple will release next then

Being first isn't the point, being actually useful is the point. The Samsung basically doesn't do anything:
the Galaxy Gear's main use is to notify you of happenings on your phone




IBM sensibly sold its laptop division to Lenovo when it became clear that it couldn't make money / compete. Seems they might do the same with their Intel server line too. What's the point in trying to compete in a market where you know you'll lose / are losing? Apple sensibly decided to focus on its core strengths instead of competing with HP/Dell.

In your opinion. While it's unlikely (in my opinion) that Apple would go into those markets, if they could produce a top-end innovative and easy to use product, why not? Have you seen this:

My advice to anyone who doesn't like their products, thinks their strategy is bad or says they are overpriced is simple: don't buy Apple. What's the problem? What's the constant need to say "yours in crap therefore mine is better".

The fanboi is strong in this one.

Because I don't know and am not prepared to make silly guesses based on flawed thinking.

Mac Pro? Wasn't that already announced? Is that the round black bin computer?

How about iRing a device you wear on your finger.

Ha ha not so actually. I don't even own a Mac.

If you think that anyone who argues against a poorly constructed argument is a fanboi, then you're a moron.
