Apple hasn’t invented anything new since iPhone. Its innovation culture was dead when it put a notch on MacBook screen.
Phone and pc market are saturate, and no growth for Apple.
With iPhone and MacBook sale that can only fall further over coming years It will be like Oppo. And it tries to burn cash to build its own chips for its falling sale of phone and PCs. Unlike Q that can sell chips to multiple industries like phone IoT industry use, automobile. Apple’s high R&D cost can be only compensated by its falling sale number of consumers electronics, like pad pc watch phone. all of these consumer electronics sound cheap and stale. Apple’s modem team will soon be next Zeku.

I thought palm did App Store first. But it is dead.
App store was invented by Qualcomm and not apple. Apple came in smartphones industry way later but Qualcomm was selling phones since it revolutionized CDMA standard in US. Those phones needed a OS called BREW and app store called BAM which was given to carriers like Verizon, sprint etc to customize and commercialize devices.
The app stores is founded in the Apple operating system…. There are plenty of interviews from Jobs stating this…. Jacobs may have had an idea but he had many ideas and the only one that stuck required the US to changes laws to subsidize the idea (CDMA). Now that business model is illegal everywhere in the world except the US! Broadcom tried to save the world from this unjust business model and Qualcomm got Trump to block the take over
The concept of mobile app store is Paul Jacobs brain child for mobile devices

The App Store was not an invention of Qualcomm. This is just funny! The App Store predates the iPhone. Also, Apple invents a lot of things Microsoft doesn’t invent anything - windows wasn’t even a Microsoft invention.
If Apple becomes OPPO then QCOM will be bank corrupted. As per the position of Aplle in USA economy, Apple downward will significantly downward the US economy. Multiple business are depends on Apple. This post is from immature clown who does not understand the industry.
Apple does not invent things. It releases things that were invented by others in a very polished way with great UX.
If you know the history
App store is an invention of qualcomm
I agree with the op..
If you look at the current er Apple revenue dropped
But Apple stock and phone has cult following. Go figure
A major reason Oppo shut down Zeku is to avoid sanctions from the US government, which is definitely not an Apple’s concern.
You have no ideas how Apple makes money by your comment. Nor do you have any idea how Qualcomm makes money!
Qualcomm’s biggest money maker is QTL not QCT! Broadcom would have done away with QCT if the sale would have went through. Broadcom only wanted Qualcomm for licensing.
Apple has created industries or revolutionize industries.
I am willing you do not own CDs anymore! Why bc of iTunes! The App Store is an Apple invention! Apple makes more money off of apps than iPhone sales!
Your post is so I corrected an d-mb - I can only pray you are not a manager and hope Qualcomm gives you a pink slip when layoffs start!
