Turns out the future does have flying cars

people saying apple homeview is “just an ipad on a speaker” and it’s literally the best lesson in business you’ll see this year: you can take one product and sell it to a totally different customer. - homeview: an ipad on a speaker, for grandparents and the kitchen counter - iphone: the computer for everyone - ipad: an iphone with a bigger screen, for kids, artists and couch scrollers - ipad mini: a smaller ipad, for readers and pilots macbook: an ipad with a keyboard, for people who work - apple watch: an iphone for your wrist, for runners and people who want fewer distractions -airpods: the iphone’s speaker, moved into your ears, for commuters - homepod: the iphone’s speaker for your living room - apple tv: the iphone’s apps on your tv, for families - vision pro: the iphone’s screen strapped to your face, for early adopters apple has been doing this for 20 years! same chips, same apps, same ecosystem. a different customer every time. unbundled or bundled. it works and has made them a trillion dollar company and one of the most valuable companies on earth.
