Yes, I agree. But PARC is ancient history, and the Watch received lukewarm reviews. I still think it was a place filler, keeping Apple in that snail's-pace game until the technology makes a standalone watch possible. We haven't really seen anything new from Apple since the iPad.
And as far as I'm concerned, that's fine, by the way. I'm happy with mostly incremental improvements of the iPhone model (iPhone, iPod, and iPad). I'm not in need of anything more - though I would love to be surprised. But Apple is now so big that it must continually overachieve just to keep from falling behind. The price of being the biggest target on the battlefield is high.
Suggestion: Let Cook retire into politics and put Ive in charge.
> Well, time will tell. But if Apple want to retain the great goodwill of the media and keep selling their goods by the freighter-full, they'll have to start coming up with a few bright, sparkling, new original ideas. There's been a long dry spell.
Many people argue that Apple doesn't come up with bright, sparkling, new, original ideas at all.
It takes an idea that is obscure or poorly done and, when it recognizes a nugget of usefulness in it, designs and builds an excellently conceived and wonderfully executed version.
For example, the Graphical User Interface. Or the Apple Watch.
