I think the author's writing skills are top-notch. The article was entertaining to read from the beginning to the end and he looks like a smart guy with great ideas.
That said, I don't think his analysis is that great in this particular article, that's why I quoted the word analysis in my original post. Like I said, this feels like pure speculation backed by intuition on the author's part. His analysis doesn't use any sort of sales numbers or statistics to show where the market is heading and why Apply would take certain decisions.
- DougBTX 17y agothis feels like pure speculation backed by intuition on the author's part Yes, it feels like that. Since he explicitly says as much in the article. Few other Apple pundits are so self-aware.
- dreyfiz 17y agoWhat sales numbers or statistics would have helped you predict what the iPhone would be like before you knew anything about it other than "Apple is working on some kind of a phone"? All we know today is that Apple is working on some kind of a tablet. There are no relevant facts or sales numbers that would have improved the article. Whatever market Apple creates or redefines with the new device will look completely different afterwards.
