These guys are bringing out folding phones like it's some revolutionary technology, and still apparently didn't get it right. Both Samsung and Google are outmatching them in terms of quality, reliability and even features on their own devices.
In the age of AI they have given us virtually nothing. Siri has given us nothing over the course of years now. And any of the AI features that actually works is facilitated almost entirely through Vertex and ChatGPT only. Nothing Native. Even the heavy lifting for open-weight models fine tuned for MLX is basically entirely meta.
And yet they are still expecting people to nearly $25k for a 30 core , 64 core gpu, 512GB ram desktop apparently tuned for running LLMs of which they have never bene able to actually develop a single one successfully. Even for their own systems.
They are just a glorified assembler at this point imho. Worst decisions they ever made was abandoning their server and networks infrastructures. Now they have one domain - client devices, and they are being outmatched by companies like Google with tonnes of other stuff, and very-cutting edge stuff too. And their prices seem like a money grab now.
