BIG TECHNOLOGY Prediction Held up

Siegler: Apple's WWDC Only Merited Two of Five Stars

Benedict Evans Nov 8, 2021 ▶ 9:54 How to think about tech
Evans: Apple's WWDC keynote has become primarily a consumer marketing event
“Now there's a two-hour keynote Which is online, and which is actually just a marketing event with a few small things in it that are relevant to developers, and the developer event, the actual developer stuff happens later.”
Benedict Evans Jun 14, 2021 ▶ 1:51 Paying attention to Apple again
Evans: Major Apple announcements synthesize minor features introduced across prior years
“Because generally when Apple announces something big, it combines four or five or six things that they'd announced over the previous couple of years that didn't look very important.”
Benedict Evans Jun 14, 2021 ▶ 39:02 Paying attention to Apple again
a16z Opinion
Evans: Apple views cloud as app backend while Google treats cloud as platform
“WWDC was full of cloud, but it was all about cloud as backend to rich native apps. Whereas I.O. Was all about cloud as cloud.”
