This area needs to come to the surface more as IMHO, privacy is fundamental to the next stages of Consumer Driven change in the IoT, IoME, personal wellness, preemptive healthcare and many, many other consumer centric, lifestyle changing areas.
BTW and also IMHO, the other FAANG companies are aggressively expanding in these areas, but for the exact same reasons you stated will not also “vote for turkey at Christmas”! Perhaps you could comment?
Apple’s recent investment in the technology development of 5G at the consumer end is also notable. Yes, a defensive and supply chain enhancing move, but also a recognition that 5G is a step-change in consumer services.
However, Apple has not been in the habit of doing this without a more strategic long term “Business Without Bounds” strategy.
I believe 5G is one of those BWB possibilities, but I question whether it will ever be justified to be built in the first place without a strong and identifiable Services Revenue Business.
Apple enablement of the third party developers by providing ecosystem, API’s and development tools are a potential enabler for the beginnings of critical mass in the new 5G enabled services areas.
Most important factor to this services business opportunity however, is the security and personal privacy environment that Apple promises and maintains and to date has delivered.
The other FAANG companies rely on (as their basic business model) the collecting of personal data to create revenue and profits.
Apple does not is unique as we move into this new personal AI driven opportunity.
Bright future or “could have happened only if…” situation?
