The first threat relates to Artificial Intelligence and the second to Apple’s App Store. They might not seem related, but as media narratives they seem to be.
Both come from the same kind of thinkers who not so long ago imagined Apple would be driven out of business because it wasn’t investing all of its resources into Voice First smart microphones, and then into folding displays that promised to turn a thick iPhone into a creased iPad. Why isn’t Apple chasing all the mistakes of others?
At the same time, these same thinkers were also insisting that world governments should all force the company to manufacture replaceable battery packs like Nokia did back before phones were waterproof, to license Adobe Flash on its mobiles, to adopt mini-USB, and to provide free tech support for any sort of counterfeit components users might install inside their devices. Shouldn’t the bureaucrats who can barely balance their own budgets take over Apple’s engineering?
