What is the revenue/profitability situation for Google's consumer electronics?
When Google originally got into the biz... with Android and earlier versions of this pixel range, the goal was to compliment search and such.
That did kind of work. Google's position is seemingly better than it would have been in a world where Apple (and msft?) dominate mobile OS.
That said... Google is still 80% ads, 10% cloud, 10% pixels. Is that 10% even profitable?
With the www increasingly decreasing and GPTs starting to eye web search's dominance as the way to access information...
Google's thousand flowers bloomed, then withered. Some came back stronger. None of them became meaningful businesses. I don't understand why.
