Apple Is Doing One Thing Right — Airpods.
They’re in a basketball game where any point scored is valuable. They just scored one.
Apple’s not just in any basketball game — they’re in a losing basketball game. I mean, they’re playing against every company out there that’s actually investing in the future. Look at Microsoft, Nvidia, and Google. They’re all out there making big moves, and meanwhile, what does Apple have? The iPhone. That’s their bread and butter. That’s what really brings in the money.
But let’s be real for a second — Steve Jobs’ mission wasn’t just to sell iPhones. Apple wasn’t supposed to be all about one product. The original idea was about creativity and keeping tech simple. Minimalist, you know? Give people what they actually need without over-complicating things. Yet, here we are, talking about the iPhone 16 coming out soon, and before that, we had the iPhone 15, iPhone 14… they’re basically different faces of the same coin. They’re not really shaking things up anymore.
But here’s the thing — they’re not entirely asleep at the wheel. Apple has been working on something in the right direction. It’s the Apple AirPods, specifically their integration into becoming hearing aids. That’s right — hearing aids. And honestly? I think this move could be genius.
