if the barometer for success or failure is "did it change the world?" then almost every product ever is a failure.

It's not like Apple doesn't bring that shit up themselves. They put out those type of expectations/hype. Johnny Ive and his fucking white room.

I personally don't see this becoming a reality for at least another half decade, and even then it won't be practical.

You can buy an MS Hololens right now. So it's already a reality... but no it isn't really practical for the market.

If it involves wearing anything, I'll pass.

Yeah same. That's why I never cared for 3D TVs.

Unfortunately it seems they're going with glasses.

something tells me anybody trying to downplay iTunes and how it shaped the modern music business wasn't old enough to remember the world (especially in terms of online) pre-iTunes.

The music industry was absolutely fucking clueless about how to deal with the internet and song downloading until Jobs and Apple gave them the kick in the ass.

It's basically equivalent to saying "I don't believe the years 2001-2010 actually happened"

The iPhone only came out ten years ago. Companies would kill for an iPhone product once a decade.

I can't wait to listen to apple fans talk about how apple invented augmented reality.

Mac (more of a past success. not that big currently anymore) and iPhone. That's it
There is a reason Apple is called a one trick pony
iPod was the base for iPhone and died with the iPhone
iTunes is a side product, nothing unique and nothing people could not live without. some people still hate it and other still don't even know it. especially today, when your iPhone is synced via cloud and you don't need iTunes anymore
iPad is not a big success and just a bigger iPhone. side product, too if you want to name it that way.



Just like Microsoft has 3
Windows, productivity software and Cloud

Amazon has 3
ecommerce, cloud and digital content

Google has also 3
Search, Android and services

We have a poster here who doesn't count the iPod as a major success for Apple....

I will laugh for days like that Mr. Burns gif if Apple beats Microsoft at their own game again.

 

[Illucio]

In AR I see a ton of value in geotagging locations. (For a good example watch Eden of the East.)

Geotagging social media app will be the next big thing for sure.

Maybe a game where you see everyone as their avatar or dressed up as their favorite character?

A lot of fun ideas. But nothing really practical other then fun things on the side.

Announcing the Apple "i". $2000 for one, $3500 for a pair. Installation fees will be based on surgeon's price.

I came here for Futurama jokes.

Apples services made just about as much profit as Google's android, chromebook, and play store combined. So if you're gonna count Android and Services as two separate noteworthy things for Google, you need to count a bunch for Apple.

Google has one thing: advertising. Every single other thing for them is a side project, or something that's mostly just used to drive more advertising.

Reading comprehension... He didn't say they never did anything worthwhile

What part of "they have been very uninspired with their innovations for a long time now." did you not comprehend?
