I feel like Apple has lost their way with the focus on services.
If they are going to focus on services, they should make them best in class. I expect best in class software, but Apple Music still doesn’t have anything like Spotify Connect and it is still incredibly slow and unreliable software (for what it is).
I don’t understand how tarnishing the premium brand with BNPL is worth it long term. And I especially don’t understand how all of their 0% interest offers will make sense in a world of 5+% interest rates.
- pathartl 4y agoThey've been taking the shotgun approach for a while. Their product isn't any individual component, it's the platform as a whole. Why people want a company that sells: - Phones - Computers - Tablets - Headphones - AR headsets - Cars - Watches - Streaming boxes - Speakers - Email - Video streaming subscriptions - News aggregation - Fitness routine subscriptions - Music streaming subscriptions - Video game subscriptions - eBooks - Apps - Cloud storage - Credit cards - BPNL is completely beyond me. Yes there's stuff in there they haven't announced. Yes there are a lot of accessories and services not listed. I'm probably a Microsoft shill at this point, but I am a .NET dev running Windows and I have a Microsoft 365 family subscription and bought an Xbox. All of my hardware is from other manufacturers. My finances are not tied to MS. I can't think of another company that has gotten the amount of blind trust that Apple has.
