Bond, para mim, sempre foi um personagem que era um arquétipo de masculinidade… Mas ele não envelheceu bem.

Exactly why Cook's long tenure and the Ternus handoff disappoint me. Apple was born to bring the computer to the masses, then evolved that mission into extreme privacy. Cook let apps become ad-funded trackers. With Ive at OpenAI, the AI phone will finish privacy off.
it’s interesting that openai is building toward a phone (instead of just earbuds) cuz this is probably the first moment where that isn’t obviously insane.
lots of others like fb, microsoft, amazon, & others failed because they were trying to enter the smartphone market without a new computing paradigm. i.e. they were building another phone inside apple & google’s world. that meant they needed all the same things like an app store, messaging, developers, services, hardware, support, accessories, habit migration, & consumer trust.
which is basically an impossible task.
but ai sorta changes the premise. for the first time in a long time, you can argue the phone itself deserves to be reconsidered from first principles. so what factors matter most? there are likely three.
first, the app store.
this is where microsoft & amazon got murdered. they couldn’t create a real developer ecosystem. microsoft couldn’t even get google to build a proper youtube app. amazon had to build its own app store because it didn’t use the play store. once you don’t have the apps, you’re effectively good as dead.
but ai potentially weakens this constraint.
the future is likely one where agents generate lightweight interfaces on demand, call services directly, complete workflows, & collapse a lot of app specific functionality into primitives. you don’t need a weather app, a travel app, a banking app, a calendar app, a notes app, & a food app in the same way if the agent can understand intent, access context, & execute.
great news! okay next.
messaging.
this is the hardest one.
the phone is a social object. it is the remote control for your relationships. messaging is the most valuable layer of this. that means imessage, blue bubbles, facetime, & group chats.
no matter how agentic the device becomes, openai still has to deal with the fact that ppl do not casually move their social graph. you can replace apps with agents more easily than you can replace group chats. the user can choose a smarter device, but their friends & family get a vote too. apple won here because there was no one doing this when they launched the iphone at scale.
last one is ecosystem.
an iphone is not just an iphone. it is the center of all personal hardware which consists of airpods, apple watch, mac, ipad, repairs, & retail stores. does openai build stores? does it build airpods competitor too? now you’re no longer just building a phone.
apple has the better starting position. openai has to invent the ai native phone from scratch with all of the network effects. apple has to reinvent the iphone before someone else makes it feel like a blackberry.
openai has the best shot at this than fb, microsoft, amazon ever did. esp with the talent they have.
this will be very fun to watch & participate in.

Under @tim_cook, @Apple has reached unprecedented scale and became a powerhouse.
As we celebrate this historic year, imagine the magic of @tfadell returning home to lead the next era of product innovation.
It would be the ultimate succession for whenever Cook passes the torch.
50 years of @Apple
From the early days of the #iPod to bringing the #iPhone into the world, some of the most formative years of my career were spent there. The products and teams stay with you. But more importantly so does how Apple thinks.
A few lessons that have held true for decades:
1) Start with the user, not the tech. The question isn’t “what can we build?” but “what problem actually matters?”
2) Focus is everything. Apple is defined as much by what it says no to as what it builds.
3) End-to-end matters. Hardware, software, services. It all has to work together.
4) Details are the product. What feels small is what users remember.
5) Debate hard. Commit fully.
6) Build for the long term.
We’re in another moment of massive technological change. The fundamentals haven’t changed.
The companies that win build things people actually use and can’t imagine living without.
Congrats to everyone who has been part of Apple’s first 50 years! 🙌
