- I was completely wrong on how successful it would be (not $, but usage / mindshare)

- First time since Jobs left that I do wonder if Apple is cooked and is just coasting on the established moats

- Vertical integration doesn't make up for BDFL taste

Apple should be much more aggressive on Health tech, for which it is positioned very well. Who else would you trust with your nervous system? 

While they're already investing, Apple should have a subsidiary with a different name developing groundbreaking health products into market ASAP — in whichever markets will have them, if the US is a no-go currently. 

Put pressure on the president "we aren't ALLOWED to sell the best tech here." Make HNWs go abroad and bring back personal medical devices that they show off in SF and DC. 

Nanobots, microbiome therapy, BCI, these are growth areas for Apple that go beyond 'put pictures in front of eyes'. Cut to the chase and plug in my brain. 

Apple should be the ones helping quadriplegics walk, blind people see, and people with executive function disorders focus — all with precise sensor-therapy-analysis feedback loops. They are ceding far too much territory to Elon because they lack urgent ambition.
