Idk why people who downplay apple love to skip all apple silicon and how apple basically have total dominance in the laptop industry, especially for working professionals. All the working professionals I know who works in a company all have macbooks by their company, except one who is an accountant.

Err... total dominance?
Which industry are you in bro.

I am in semicon, automation, photovoltaic, machinery industry.
Professionals in this industry that use Apple laptop like 5%?

If you say Apple dominance in tablet, I can agree la.
Laptop? hell no~ Apple are not dominance at all.

As of early September 2025, Microsoft has a higher market capitalization than Apple, with Microsoft at approximately $3.77 trillion and Apple at around $3.45 trillion. Microsoft's valuation has been boosted by its focus on cloud services and AI, while Apple, though still a top company, has seen its market position fluctuate due to factors including reliance on hardware sales and competition.
Apple from Top, Highest Value Company on EARTH.
now 1 by 1 overtake by its competitor.
Latest Competitor that smoke APPLE = Microsoft, just overtake APPLE market value.
Little Bro. You dont understand what Microsoft is doing now. and what they done so far.

You dont....

I don't see any innovation from them anymore.

All just sugarcoat with fancy fancy things that people don't even use daily anyway.

The only reason a lot of people still use Apple because they are in the comfort zone of using Apple ecosystem and lazy to switch.

Tanpa Steve Jobs, they are nothing.
They are riding tunggang on his legacy only.
Ifon, ipad, makbook semua intro by Steve Jobs.

You can say what you want, me I'm excited for new ipong, whether new airpods pro 3 finally is a real hifi earphones or not, and the new rumored budget macbook with the A series SoC from ipongs, will be very power efficient and speculated 600 usd price.

this is the 4th time i mention APPLE is getting downfall since 3 years ago.
(3 years ago ) Stagnant Innovation ( but APPLE EV Still in making, the Vision PRO also in rumour )
(2 years ago ) Apple EV. not delay. nope. Scraped. rumor invest more than $10B!!! But Vision Pro released.
(1 years ago ) Apple SIRI become Apple Silly. defy all the APPLE logic... with their supreme Privacy Prority approach, they let OpenAI access all the APPLE user daily interaction...

Now.

Iphone 16 almost expired. ( ip17 launch nearing )

THe Biggest PROMISED Iphone 16 features ( Apple Intelligent , which can do alot magic ) Is still un-delivered.

watch this 2min interview.

they sound so noob.

Even some new founded China AI Company already has very capable model that challenge top ranking AI like z.ai, deepseek. not to mention those from Alibaba(qwen), baidu, tencent, even TIKTOK has very powerful model.

Clearly apple has past it peak. not yet 6pm. but they are now at 2~3pm.
The next big tech market no longer Consumer.
is Job Market.

Job Market provide Income for Consumer, Consumer = Biggest Spender. Consume = Big Market
But Next 10 years?

Tech company aim DIRECTLY at the source of "Money", Job Market.
Consumer electronic is no longer hotcake business.

AI that capable to enter JOB market directly = Biggest Money Printer for Tech Company.

if ipong 17 didn't launch their apple intelligence aka AI in their phone, i might save up my money and buy iphone 16 series.

Tim Cook vision is kinda fucuk up Apple strategy in this few years, gave up EV and their carplay ecosystem is somehow stagnant. AI sudah delay and delay. Supply chain moving out from China to India and end up back to China again.

They took WSJ interview ahead of Apple fall launch defending AI on their iphone, which mean they wont launch any AI in this coming i17.
But they do have new line of iphone which is iPhone Air but same kettle black.
