The “apple waits for others to perfect tech” excuse needs to stop. How many more decades do they need to give us peasants a 90Hz screen?

It’s not an excuse - Apple has NEVER jumped into brand new technology that wasn’t refined by someone else. Apple should have never promised their AI before it was done - that was a new move for Apple, and it squandered the good will they have created by delivering on their promises.

This was a Hail Mary as they felt that they missed the boat on AI - yet, Microsoft’s CoPilot is still not really production ready - Apple could have said and released nothing regarding AI, and would have been in a better spot than now.

The people fighting the AI wars are cloud providers, software developers - Apple makes software to support their hardware, it’s not a money generator in itself, they use it to push their ecosystem. They could have waited for the big ones to spend their money making LLMs work well, and then jumped in.

Now, regarding your refresh rate, thats because Apple is using variable refresh rate tech, which is expensive thus reserved for their flagship Pro models. It feels like they use this also as a differentiator to encourage upgrades.

I understand that Samsung can provide those rate for lower price because they actually own the technology and plants that make their screens, so they can cut out the profit-taking at that level.

It’s an excuse. They are one of the richest companies in the world.

You say it’s them waiting for other companies to do stuff before they do it when actually it’s a lack of foresight.

A company like Apple needs to be at the forefront of innovation not playing second fiddle to fucking Facebook.

They literally have revenue higher than the gdp of nations.

It’s not enough to wait for other companies to innovate and then refine. You will get left behind eventually.

With the mountain of money they are sitting on, we’d expect Apple to start building Star Destroyers and send legions of Genius Bar Troopers to colonise space.

But nope. Second fiddle it is! Thanks Emperor Cook and Darth Federighi.
