I start to like this guy.
But he is wrong - apple's strong side have always been hardware. They have never so far managed to be the TOP in software, but once they enter hardware category - the premium segment is theirs. And at least a minor part of their success is due to the quality of their hardware and not only to branding, marketing and reality distortion fields.
So apple making a car - it means it will be very well build machine.
- guardian5x 11y agoI agree with you that Apple built great Hardware. But i also think there is a difference in Hardware between a Case with electronics inside, and building a car with all its different components.
- venomsnake 11y agoModern cars are cases with electronics inside and a side effect of spinning wheels. Apple have (or had) corporate culture and system in which great hardware output is expected. Their greatest strength is the ability to produce slick design, premium feel devices, while having the uncanny ability to know which exactly performance features to throw under the bus. Case in point - flash. Someone in apple obviously knew that battery life of the devices trumps everything else before iPhone was in consumer hands.
