 On this American day of Thanksgiving, I thought it would be fun to recount some of the Apple tech related items which I’m genuinely grateful to have in my life. As opposed to my recent post about the most disappointing tech. But stuff which really made a difference and wasn’t something that I used once and forgot about. You know, like Memoji or sending your heart beat from your Apple Watch.
 Ever since the unveiling of the new 16” MacBook Pro I’ve been trying to think of the future scenario in which their decisions make any financial sense and I can only think of one. Apple kills the 13” MacBook Pro. I’ve tried to war game every possible scenario for the Mac Business and there is only one path that leads to increased profitability.
 Apple announced a new 16” MacBook Pro and I couldn’t care less. I’ve been all iPad for about 4 years and I’m never buying a device with a permanently attached keyboard again. That’s like buying a giant camcorder from the 80’s that you have to rest on your shoulder to shoot video. In other words, it’s out of date.
 I’m always amazed when a company can create demand where there was none before. It’s the opposite of managing your company via conducting focus groups and user surveys. Because if Apple had conducted user surveys, they wouldn’t have come away with the idea that there is a mass demand for noise cancellation in wireless earbuds.

On October 17th, Digitimes reported on something which everyone found shocking, except for me. They said that Quanta Computers was actually considering dumping their Apple Watch assembly business due to profitability concerns. |
