How Apple going to leverage their hardware dominance is the key, I think they are going to start search engine, social network, online store, health care and insurance products etc. All things that are going to touch end users.
- simonh 5y agoThey tried a social network a few times and got nowhere, they might try again but I’d grant a low chance of success. iMessage is close enough. I’m going against collective wisdom on this, but I don’t see them launching a user facing search engine. The only way to monetise that is ads, and that puts them directly at odds with their privacy focus. The way things are now Apple gets mucho $billions from Google to make their search the default, they get to mess with Google over privacy, and Google gets all the heat. Win, win, win.

- amelius 5y agoYou forgot Apple Car.
- iamgopal 5y agoAll of these thing will not be as a current form, like apple car will be build, maintained and service by BMW with google paying them tons of bucks to use their self driving technology etc. Apple just want front face, not the tech itself.
- zimbatm 5y agoSiri is already competing with Google search. Tackling it like that is much better than just re-inventing the same thing.
- mupuff1234 5y agoI imagine they'd prefer to avoid the realm of uncurated user content - too much risk and hassle, and doesn't really suit their monitization strategy.
