I just can't see it. If they do "step out of their lane". I bet it's more in search. They've been slowly trying to ungoogle the Apple experience for a while and I wouldn't be shocked if they eventually do a search engine.
- gigglesupstairs 5y agoI am surprised they haven’t done that yet. With all their feistiness against Google in last few years, this seems like a very logical next step.
- exhilaration 5y agoGoogle pays Apple $15 billion for that privilege. That's a lot of money for even Apple to give up. https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/25/analysts-google-to-pay-apple-15-billion-to-remain-default-safari-search-engine-in-2021/ https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/25/analysts-google-to-pay-apple-...
- jandrese 5y agoOne could imagine Apple starting a datacenter that is populated entirely with their M-series chips and their stupendous power efficiency. Current Apple isn't the kind of company that would do this, but it's not that hard to imagine. Ultimately Apple still prefers to be a hardware company, even their software or services efforts are mostly to encourage people to buy their hardware.
