>if Apple thinks they can pull this off, then liklier than not, considering what they've done in the past, they probably can.
Or you can consider an even longer past; has any company in history ever been able to consistently "hit-it-out-of-the-park" with products? Or is there an element of luck here that distributes these things.
In other words, does one game-changing innovation make it more likely or less likely to produce a second?
- brookst 3y agoYou think iPhone is the only product category that Apple succeeded in with paradigms different than what went before?
- itsoktocry 3y ago>You think iPhone is the only product category that Apple succeeded in with paradigms different than what went before? Apple has had financial success with many products, yes. Is that what we're talking about? No. Do you really think MacBooks and AirPods are revolutionary products like the iPhone?
- ztrww 3y agoMore or less. I mean there is the giant iPhone(iPad) and some accessories for the iPhone (watch, airpods).
- brookst 3y agoAh, yeah, those accessories that would be Fortune 500 companies on their own. Those surely don’t count as whole products that (re)invented categories. I guess if we declare everything Apple’s ever done to be just pretty versions of ENIAC, they really haven’t had any successful products at all?
- itsoktocry 3y ago>Those surely don’t count as whole products that (re)invented categories. What other product categories have Apple "re-invented" or invented. The mobile phone. The tablet. What else?
- brookst 3y agoHeadphones? Smart watches? MP3 players? They didn’t invent any of those, and they didn’t invent the innovations that made their products successful. But the user experience of all of them was so much better than existing products that they went from nothing to dominating the category in just a few years.
- fkyoureadthedoc 3y agoThen we can consider it a forgone conclusion that headgear iPhone (Vision) will be a runaway success as just another variant of Apple Thing With Screen (iPhone).
- mrtranscendence 3y agoAre you aware how successful those products have been? They don't match iPhone revenue by any means, but they move a ton of units and are the market leaders for their categories.
