My age-old contention in these threads is that if Apple wants to get into the mobility space, they should quit footling around with self-driving cars and just buy Brompton.
Quality of engineering, miniaturisation, lightness, battery technology (for e-bikes), customer experience… it’s a perfect fit. The Mac wasn’t codenamed “Bicycle” for nothing.
- vestrigi 5y agoMy guess is that the Mac was code named “bicycle” because Jobs loved the analogy of the computer being like a bicycle for your brain, it’ll let you leverage your own capacity to go much further/get things done much faster. I mean you’re right about Brompton but I suppose folding bikes just look “too silly” for most people, that Apple would want to be associated with them, sadly.
