Yup. Huge reason why Apple stock took a fall.

The smart watch wasn’t very popular but it’s picked a little since it came out but it was hardly a coup.

They need to come out with a product that is t so linked to the existing ecosystem that it replicates the same functions. I found the watch pointless personally. Didn’t really add to the experience.

They need to take their AI further in my opinion. Siri needs to be more interactive. Smart homes are the way of the future but not under the current advancements.
They need to take AI to where it gets ahead of you in getting things done for you.

All I’m hearing from people using Alexa is how it’s listening to conversations and trying to maket to you products they’ve heard you talk about. That may be on the right path but the notion that’s it’s listening without commands and. trying to sell to you is a little invasive for most people.

None the less, they will need to come out with a way of selling improvements in your life. And that goes for all companies in that sector.

I’ve seen this coming. You can’t have continuous growth forever, the economy was overheating and it needed a cool down. The moment I saw interest rates go up I knew where we were heading. What remains to be seen is whether we can avoid an out right recession on the way down. Historical cycles haven’t been so pretty in terms of avoidance.
