tim was supposed to be a pro at wrangling supply chain and that was his one strength and now he can't even do that much

yes, through the continued damage to apple's reputation it starts with a delay to a stupid, ill-advised alexa clone and then later becomes a delay to the next stupid, samsung-alike iphone model Stymie fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Nov 17, 2017 |

the airbuds delay was just more of tim's ongoing incompetence for supply chain the plus side was nobody wanted them anyway so the delay wasn't all that impactful

i thought no one would buy the apple watch because it was terribly ugly, but they did airpods look like tampons poking out of your ears but hey apparently the market will tolerate any amount of stupid

it's also terrible at being a watch, but sure, whatever. i'm willing to bet the airpods sound as bad as every other first-party apple headphone

it’s always strange when Apple announces something so far in advance(strange in itself) and then it gets delayed however you slice it, it says bad planning, what happens to the lean manufacturing Tim it’s the Sony PlayStation 2 vs Dreamcast move, but I guess Apple doesn’t like amazon selling so many echoes in the meantime

the sonos one is super crippled, like alexa is only able to interact with amazon music with any smartness; if you're playing spotify or apple music or pandora or tidal or even your own locally stored stuff all it can do is play, pause and skip forward/back the whole point of sonos is that it plays everything [except mqa but that's for idiots]
