Apple needs to create more iPod nano type fun products. Instead they are trying to create category defining products like vision pro because I think apple too has fallen for the MBAs running the show instead of the pirates. They need more risk, more fun, smaller bets to figure out the next wave.
- ghaff 2y agoI'm sure Apple is fiddling around with things in their labs. But I still remember something that someone at IBM told me once about some initiative. Don't focus on the specific number but basically if it isn't a billion dollar opportunity, it's too big a distraction up and down the line to bother with. You may hate on MBAs but focus is actually something that Apple has been very very good at over the years even before the current management.

- LordKeren 2y agoAs someone who likes the smaller phone form factor, it was a real bummer that they’re discontinuing this size. But on the other hand, as someone who needs to accommodate mobile UI, the mini was a bit of a thorn in my side. Conflicted
- kjkjadksj 2y agoSuch is life of the mobile developer though, or really any other developer. You have to accomodate multiple view port sizes or just write your code in a way that scales correctly. For example it used to be common for mobile apps to use the off the shelf ui tooling from the os vendor and use stuff like html for their pages within the app of whatever else. That stuff has always scaled perfectly. Its the new sexy stuff that has trouble but its not necessary to write code like that.
