What if the whole deal behind all of this media stuff is just that mainstream journalists have figured out that iOS requires software engineers, and hardware engineers, but they can't wrap their head around the idea that iOS also requires battery engineers?
I'm not saying Apple isn't making a car. I'm not saying it wouldn't be cool if they were. I'm just saying that if you're at all familiar with the history of how the media has always interacted with Apple - if you read Daring Fireball, for instance - then something that mind-bogglingly stupid might actually seem completely typical, in context.
- tfinniga 12y agoThere is definitely a bias in the media to write the most interesting story, even if it is less plausible. Having a car in the works is more interesting than needing better batteries for existing/announced product lines. Much better batteries would be a strong advantage for apple watch, for example.
