"real question is why they avoid the research community so strongly."
I think it's within their DNA.
They are a very secretive company for a lot of historical reasons.
Company culture is what companies are ... they are the social rules built into the organization that are very difficult to change once established.
Apple is within their moral right to do what they are doing. There are different approaches taken by other companies so it's healthy to have that.
If this were weapons systems or cancer cures, I might have a different opinion.

- jomamaxx 10y agoEvery companies copy other companies innovations. Smartphones would not exist unless BlackBerry created the market for them. But they are secretive not for that reason - they are secretive because they want to announce and present things on their own terms. They don't want leakage pre-product.
