The Future of Apple

“Apple has become the largest company in the world by market cap not by trying to become the largest smartphone vendor, but the most beloved.” (6:07)

Apple is everywhere.

You can stream Apple TV+ on your Apple TV while reading emails on your MacBook and sending texts on your iPhone. Even the word podcast is a portmanteau of the words “broadcast” and “iPod.”
