Apple Significant in the Technology Space

Magic this or that with the Apple Tax you say, or hardware profit margins that built up a pile of cash bigger than some medium sized country economies controlled by none other than Tim Cook himself! But Apple has made some amazing contributions to mobile computing history in the iPhone and Apple Watch, have a look at this timeline list /

WWDC since iPhone launched 2007

2008 (iPhone OS 2.0): App Store

2009 (iPhone OS 3.0): In-app purchases & push notifications

2010 (iOS 4): Multitasking + multi-touch 

2011 (iOS 5): Notification center

2012 (iOS 6): Siri, & share sheet

2013 (iOS 7): Lock screen notifications + Spotlight search

2014 (iOS 8): Continuity + Handoff + alt screen widgets

2015 (iOS 9): 3D Touch + Proactive Intelligence (prefetch) 

2016 (iOS 10): iMessage App Store (easier to access) 

2018 (iOS 12): Shortcuts (faster UI interface experience)

2020 (iOS 14): App Clips, home-screen widgets (customizable UI enhancements)

It's on your MacBook Pro, then on iPhone 14, then Apple Watch Series 8, then on the web, on social media, on YouTube, on Instagram, its record & edit & publish once & then share everywhere, data flowing across the Apple ecosystem, like a data mesh network between your Apple Devices all backup up to the iCloud if you break your thing, get a new one & update & its just like the old one with all your files & content again.

Pay a few dollars per month & you get hundreds of GB of storage on the cloud to back up all your devices. A few more $ per month & its all on the cloud. The App Store moves big $ of software as App's on iPhones by the hundreds of millions. Apple is TSMC's largest customer for Apple Silicon chipsets like the M2 post-intel energy efficient ARM based higher TDP versions with more area than the SOC in the iPhone and 20+ billion transistors.

M3, then M4 then M5 & pro versions of each with more GPU cores. Its faster & more power efficient than anything that Intel or NVIDIA can make using QUALCOMM technology. We are talking about vertically integrated inhouse optimized hardware software butter smooth power efficiency tuning of Apple hardware unmatched by any other company.

Even without the iPhone with its own eSim # the Apple Watch Ultra can operate like a smartphone on its own in a titanium or stainless steel flavor with ceramics & technology fusion OLED inside brighter & faster refresh & then micro-LED pixels in the next version. Longer runtime, better GPS, stronger, bigger, longer lasting, more durable, louder speaker, brighter screen, longer battery life, more functions, more features, higher price points, more profits, its how Apple makes so much money. By iterative obsessive polishing innovation to the point of being unmatched by any competitor, like the glass trackpads on MacBook's with an iOS ecosystem so polished it's hard to imagine making it easier to move from one iPhone to the next iPhone.

Take your new phone & take a picture of the funny cloud color visualization happening on your old iPhone and then over Wi-Fi the data from your old phone transfers to your new one. Even my grandmother could easily do this, amazingly both phones continue to work over Wi-Fi, even with Wi-Fi calling or iMessaging & App updates. Thus my iPhone SE and iPhone 14 are working concurrently with fluid data pass through along with the Apple Watch Series 8 and its zirconia black colored stainless steel & ceramic band from Amazon.com 

Apple even commercializing a mixed reality headset now! HoloLens that Microsoft :) 

Even Siri voice activation phrase or invocation changing from "Hey Siri" to just "Siri" even as Microsoft phases out Cortana. Alexa on the other hand now 8 years old & getting better every day, on your Amazon Echo devices // I call this stuff "Information Decor" that can decorate your home with voice interactive compute Ai electronics connected to the internet over Comcast WI-FI Xfinity high speed internet connections. 

"Alexa set a timer for 7 minutes" and it does as the ultimate alarm clock or kitchen voice timer :) alone this functionality makes the Echo lineup worth what they cost, over WIFI the timers even keep working if the network connection offline, though the LED ring will glow red & most voice interactions will be inactive, the basic alarm clock & timer functionality hosted locally on the hardware in memory so they work offline along with basic voice control thereof. 

If rounded rectangles are not your thing with all their slow iterative updates, you can always go the way of folding phones from Samsung, Google & Honor that grace the $2000 price tag that can net an iconic status symbol analog automatic metal & ceramic wristwatch from Switzerland. You can get a sic e-Bike from Lectric for much less than the cost of a folding smartphone. Besides, using a phone that much can cause Text Neck cervical vertebrae damage that causes neck headaches that are annoying & painful & get worse over time as you get older naturally.

Using a Smartphone close to bedtime can also degrade sleep quality by over activating your mind with information overload & the artificial light can disturb your circadian rythm by degrading sleep quality by inhibiting melatonin release & promoting elevated  blood cortisol levels & chronic stress that's toxic to health via the mind body connection.
