What is your time estimate for a company to fix their assembly alignment and paint issues versus the technologies being years behind in a car? That’s the point here.
1. This will be the last time I’m typing my decade prediction on HN
2. AR/VR will be complementary only, travel industry will be bigger than ever; shopping will happen as your travel (product placement in all your experiences)
3. Weather-related disasters to be more rampant and frequent
4. Governments go bankrupt and hyper-inflation in developed countries
5. Disney still owns everything
6. Intel loses leadership in CPU market, as Apple leads the post-x86 world
7. Facebook to be the Google of the decade; Tesla to be Facebook of the decade
Apple is close to solving the market problem with XR being a success. The next interaction of the XS line can offer a smaller version without cannibalizing mainstream iPhones, just like the current iPad line up.
I think you're missing the rumours on the new 10.5" iPad Pro. Hold your judgement before that. What if the future product lines are only iPad and iPad Pro? With iPad at 7.9" and 9.7", iPad Pro at 10.5" and 12"? Many have said that the 10.5" iPad Pro would be the 12"'s resolution at 326 ppi, and I think thats reasonable.
The measurement logs will be publicly available.
