The inactivity of Apple is obviously deliberate

If I were the CEO of Apple, I would create three obvious services to ensure leadership:

Apple Browser
Apple Search
Apple Email

Also reinstate the old slogan Think Different.

With these three services, Apple could become the undisputed leader world wide in a couple of years. In terms of marketing it's an obvious win win situation. Instead of spending money on ads, these three services would ensure 100% coverage for users needs, which will allow a lot of Windows users to switch for Apple products, thanks to massive Apple presence on internet. This is something obvious that anybody can understand in no time.

My point is that even if the Apple CEO is a piece of shit, he still must understand that it's the best move in terms of pure marketing. This is still not happening, even if a simple research can show that people are tired of Microsoft and Google duopoly on internet.

The only rational explanation for Apple inactivity on internet is that it is purely deliberate. Apple is obviously not pursuing the goal of market dominance. Their inactivity is highly likely dictated by the fact that all Big Tech corporations are in cahoots, therefore real competition doesn't exist. This is why Apple doesn't make the only rational move to beat the competition.

Apple has never pursued a strategy of market dominance outside of the iPod space, which they later abandoned entirely. They have historically chosen to foster their identity as a boutique brand, focused on the perception of exclusivity and status. Google, which sells android tablets at Walgreens, is what the company you're discussing would look like.

Besides, post Steve Jobs, Apple is a soulless pr machine without a scrap of innovation to be found.

Unless you want pride emojis and ubiquitous shadow data collection while proclaiming itself as a privacy company, then Mr. Cook got your back.

Those new M 1 CPUs look like a game changer.

They are so fast, the M1 macs are unreal.

low wattage, 5 nanometer gates, read and write to ram at insane speeds, and use ram that intel will NOT SUPPORT in all of 2021.

4266 MT/s LPDDR4X SDRAM !!!! prior to 2022 Intel only goes up to 3200, not 4266!!

4266 is tied to the cpu fabric clock controller at a fixed ratio requiring 4266. Apple will probably stick with 4266 for a year or more.

https://www.theregister.com/2020/11/19/apple_m1_high_bandwidth_memory_performance/

its M1 Arm chip delivers up to 3.5x faster CPU performance, up to 6x faster GPU performance, up to 15x faster machine learning, and up to 2x longer battery life than previous-generation Macs, which use Intel x86 CPUs.

Its internal disk is also nearly the fastest on earth.

It also is so fast that it EMULATES intel code faster than many real intel computers that cost almost the same. (it has a few cheat circuits for its ARM) it has of course the fastest linear non-threaded benchmark speed of any intel chip.

I BOUGHT FOUR M1 Macs for my company so far!

they're hoping to be first-to-market with their OS for AR

What game would that be?

Low power, high performance CPUs that don't overheat, even under high workloads. Because they have been redesigned from the ground up, Apple has managed to ditch a lot of technical debt and cruft from the past. They can produce the chips much more cheaply, gaining a high mark-up for their boutique products.

They have 2 of these, safari, and email via icloud.

Do you mean I have to subscribe to iCloud for using email?

If you want "apple mail" then yes. Maybe they have a free tier, I dunno, they don't really exist to me.

Correct,

I agree but he and you forgot a lot about Apple.

APPLE BROWSER is called Chrome.

70% of lines of code of these browsers use Apples WebKit source code (Chrome, then renamed a THIRD time to Chromium):

Google Chrome
Brave
Microsoft Edge (yes really)
Safari
Vivaldi
Opera (since 2013)
Konqueror

ALL THOSE ARE MAJORITY WRITTEN by apple engineers ! : PROOF :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit

Then they get subverted and kiked. All are over 70% lines of code from APPLE.

Apple used to ship Safari for Windows.

Apple has its own email tool, but they ripped out hooks for privacy (GPG, etc)

Apple does not have its own search anymore but apple shipped the first internet search tools BEFORE google existed : Apple Sherlock (now Apple Spotlight). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_(software)

early 1997 Apple ran internet scanning hooks. Google launched after , in 1998.

Apple became evil, so did all big tech. They are ALL EVIL now and all atni-us-constitution

unaware of Safari and "no third-party browser engine" rule

Can't say I disagree

They have a browser but it isn't even properly customizable anymore and while it was the first mayor one to block Flash Player if I recall correctly, it didn't even have proper HTML5 support

I mean Safari for Windows. They discontinued it. Very bad move in marketing terms.

Did you know there used to be an Internet Explorer for OS X years ago? Nobody wanted to use it.

The entire computer tech field is controlled top down. MS, Apple, Amazon, Joogle, Faceberg, Twatter, etc. all rose to prominence because they were the chosen winners, and indeed, the market share they occupy is chosen as well. If somehow a startup manages to gain a market share in some desired field due to pure innovation and business savvy, they are subverted, coerced, or bought out, and if any of these tactics fails they are simply destroyed.
