  • Apple Strategy Teardown
    Apple Strategy Teardown The maverick of personal computing is looking for its next big thing in spaces like healthcare, AR, and autonomous cars, all while keeping its lead in consumer hardware. With an uphill battle in AI, slowing growth in smartphones, and its fingers in so many pies, can Apple reinvent itself for a third time? In many ways, Apple remains a company made in the image of Steve Jobs: iconoclastic and fiercely product focused. But today, Apple is at a crossroads. Under CEO Tim Cook, Apple’s ability to seize on emerging technology raises many new questions. Primarily, what’s next for Apple? Looking for the next wave, Apple is clearly expanding into augmented reality and wearables with the Apple Watch AirPods wireless headphones. Though delayed, Apple’s HomePod speaker system is poised to expand Siri’s footprint into the home and serve as a competitor to Amazon’s blockbuster Echo device and accompanying virtual assistant Alexa. But the next “big one” — a success and growth driver on the scale of the iPhone — has not yet been determined. Will it be augmented reality, healthcare, wearables? Or something else entirely? Apple is famously secretive, and a cloud of hearsay and gossip surrounds the company’s every move. Apple is believed to be working on augmented reality headsets, connected car software, transformative healthcare devices and apps, as well as smart home tech, and new machine learning applications. We dug through Apple’s trove of patents, acquisitions, earnings calls, recent product releases, and organizational structure for concrete hints at how the company will approach its next self-reinvention.

  • Security Company Says a Mask Fooled Face ID on Iphone X 15 November 2017, by Tim Johnson, Mcclatchy Washington Bureau

Motorola introduced fingerprint readers on a smartphone in 2011, and Apple followed in 2013 with Touch ID on its iPhones. Most major smartphone makers now use such sensors. Face recognition is the next iteration of biometric identification. At a presentation announcing iPhone X's face recognition capabilities Sept. 12, nearly two months before its Nov. 3 release, Apple Senior Vice President Phil Schiller said engineering teams developed artificial intelligence to help the product distinguish between real owners and masks. "They have even gone and worked with professional mask makers and makeup artists in Less than a week after the Apple iPhone X went Hollywood to protect against these attempts to beat on the market, a cybersecurity firm said it had Face ID," Schiller said. already defeated the new phone's vaunted face recognition system using a $150 mask made on a Apple says the iPhone X uses infrared imaging and 3-D printer. a depth map of a user's face with 30,000 invisible dots to ensure identity.

  • Case Study: Where Have All the Processors Gone?
    The Synergist: How to Lead Your Team to Predictable Success Case Study: Where Have All The Processors Gone? It’s hard to find a good, single, stand alone case study for a Processor. It’s not that they are less common than Visionaries or Operators. It’s just that by the very nature of who they are, they eschew the limelight. They prefer to work behind the scenes making sure the systems and processes are in place to allow good organizations to become great organizations. They care little about seeking public praise or adulation. You don’t often see a Processor striding up and down the stage at the annual company retreat, representing the business at a charity event or giving interviews to the local news station. Instead you’ll be more likely to find them making sure that what the company does today is repeatable, consistent and scalable tomorrow and into the future. In many ways they are the unsung hero of our three natural styles. That’s not to say there aren’t examples of them out in the wild. And it’s not to say that at times we wouldn’t want a Processor in charge. We shouldn’t conflate the cult of the Visionary or the get it done mentality of the Operator with good leadership. Yes, quite often, particularly during the early stages of a company’s growth we need a good V or O in charge. But there are occasions when we need the structured, methodical thinking of a P to put in place the systems and processes needed to stable the ship and get us sailing in the right direction again.

  • Hello, Courage. That's What Tim Cook Says Matters Most
    | Hello, Courage. That’s what Tim Cook says matters most to him as Apple’s CEO. “Do you have the courage to admit that you’re wrong? And do you change?” he asks rhetorically, in reference to the company’s infamous flops like the Power Mac G4 “Cube” and the iTunes social network Ping. Then last week, Apple’s Phil Schiller cited courage as the guiding light in the decision to remove the headphone jack from the latest iPhone model. Below, we discuss the bold move to drop an industry standard and what it means for consumers and business leaders alike. Also in this Download: holding algorithms accountable, finding a voice, creating products from pollution, and biking into the future. Andrew Benett Global Chief Executive Officer Havas Creative Group What: Apple killed the headphone jack with the newly announced iPhone 7. So What: This is yet another example of Apple showing (rather than asking) people what they want—in this case, an improved listening experience and a nudge toward a wireless future. While change can be hard, the time has come to move on from a technology that's nearly 140 years old. To bring your industry into the future, start by looking critically at your products and services to see what both you and your customers are simply accepting as the status quo. What: Until very recently, LinkedIn’s algorithm appeared to favor men. Meanwhile, Facebook has had to address its own bias issue. So What: Have you ever been frustrated by surge pricing? Algorithms are increasingly shaping our life experiences, and consumers have a right to know how brands are subtly (and not so subtly) influencing them.

  • April '17 Contents
    A Publication of the Silicon Mountain Macintosh User Group Colorado Springs Metro Area Maca Culpa: Apple Admits Mac Pro Missteps and Promises More Transparency April ’17 by Adam C. Engst In an unprecedented move, Apple invited five prominent industry journalists to an on-the-record Volume 33 Issue 4 meeting with top executives Phil Schiller, Craig Federighi, and John Ternus (VP of Hardware Contents Engineering). The writers included John Gruber of Daring Fireball, Matthew Panzarino of TechCrunch, Lance Ulanoff of Mashable, Ina Fried of Axios, and John Paczkowski of BuzzFeed. SIG News 2 The topic of discussion? The Mac Pro, why it has taken Apple so long to update it, and Apple’s Club News 3 commitment to the professional market. I’ll say more about that in a moment, but first, let me Door Prize Winners 4 recommend that you read at least the first two of the articles linked above — Panzarino and Gruber, in Macs & Mac Apps 5 particular, did an excellent job of capturing both what was said and the implications of those statements. In short, Apple did something it has never done before — assemble a panel of reporters for an iOS, watchOS, & tvOS 8 on-the-record talk in which it acknowledged design errors and missteps with the current Mac Pro, Joy of Tech 11 pre-announced a new Mac Pro accompanied by a new pro display that won’t ship this year, and admitted Gary’s Insights 12 that it needs to communicate better with its pro users. No, this isn’t an April Fools prank.

    Apple's next big challenge: Making Siri smarter 10 June 2016, by Brandon Bailey battleground. Apple, Google, Facebook and others are racing to create digital services that consumers will find indispensable for shopping, chatting, controlling other appliances and simply getting through their daily lives. And while Siri has gained new abilities over the years, some experts believe Apple still lags in the AI race, hindered in part by its unwillingness to pry too deeply into your personal information.

Monberg argues that Google's proactive digital assistant provides more useful In this June 10, 2013, file photo, Eddy Cue, Apple senior reminders, recommendations and tips on local vice president of internet software and services, talking weather or traffic, largely because it reads his email about the new voices of Siri virtual assistant during the and other data from his Android phone and keynote address of the Apple Worldwide Developers crunches it with sophisticated algorithms on Conference in San Francisco.
