Like the iPod HiFi? Because this is akin to that in its sales. ~350K units in year 1 and fewer than ~150K units in year 2 is a massive flop, and hardly like any of the Apple slow starts which all gained massive demand and momentum in their second years where AVP demand crashed months after release and will slide to near-zero early this year.
I think it'll be more like Newton, they'll push hard for a couple of years to make it acceptable and when demand fails to materialize (at Apple scale) they will spike the project and say, like with Newton, as Jobs did, that "to realize their ambitious plans, they needed to concentrate all efforts in one direction"a probably AI or whatever the next big bubble happens to be about.
- bombcar 2y agoThat's the point - if the purchase over 2 or 3 years makes enough sense (because you have the money) go for it. $3k is a ton of money in some cases, but over 3 years it's $20 a week. It doesn't have to be all that great to be worth $20 a week.
- zamadatix 2y agolooking at it like $20 per week doesn't sound so hard week 0 but it becomes a lot harder when you start thinking "Even if I do end up using this 156 weeks in a row is it really going to feel worth another $20 on week 46? and 97? and 134?".
