Cook said Apple would survive for a thousand years, but Jobs would never say that

Last year, Cook publicly envisioned the future of Apple and said that Apple could survive for a thousand years. Indeed, Apple now enjoys a high reputation in the world and can be said to be one of the largest companies in the world. However, it is premature to claim that it can survive for a thousand years just because of its current achievements. Cook's remarks make people doubt where his confidence comes from, but judging from Apple's current situation, it is not impossible for Apple to survive for a thousand years.

Apple not only relies on mobile phones to conquer the world, but also has mysterious driverless technology

Speaking of Apple, everyone thinks of mobile phones and tablets, but if Apple wants to survive forever, it must keep up with the times. As early as several years ago, Apple wanted to develop electric cars. Although there seems to be no news about the progress of Apple's electric cars in recent years, Apple's driverless technology has surfaced. There have been rumors in the industry that Apple is running a secret self-driving car project. From the report of the Wall Street Journal, Apple has revealed through a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is working on self-driving car functions. Although Apple keeps the work confidential, it is true that Apple has started research on driverless cars. I believe that when the technology matures, Apple will surprise us again.

Enter the AI ​​army with force and hold its mainstream position

In recent years, artificial intelligence has become popular rapidly. Companies such as Baidu and Google have gradually developed their own artificial intelligence sections. Apple is naturally not willing to lag behind. Speaking of Apple's artificial intelligence, Siri is probably ranked first. After Apple installed Siri in the iPhone 4s, it did not establish a leading advantage through Siri because hardware problems limited the development of Siri. Later, people from the Siri team gradually left Apple. However, Apple made efforts in the later period. Now Siri is very smart. It can chat, search, type, and even be teased. In the field of voice devices, Siri can be regarded as one of the top voice assistants.

In addition to Siri, the AR technology that the iPhone 8 will be equipped with is also proving Apple's position in artificial intelligence. We are also expected to see the AR version of Siri. I don't know what Aunt Siri will look like after being visualized, but just by virtue of being equipped with AR, the expectations for the iPhone 8 have soared to the sky.

Advanced industrial design brings vitality to Apple

It is normal for various technology companies to have their own patents. In the field of industrial design patents, Apple is a big player. Not long ago, Apple submitted a patent application to the US Patent and Trademark Office for "electronic devices with built-in soft input-output components." This patent can achieve an elastic screen through the coordination between curved spring materials and screen pixel particles, which may become a turning point for mobile phone screens, but we don't know where this technology will be used.

Both the operation and system are better than Android, and Apple has a solid foundation for development

It goes without saying that Apple's operation is simple and convenient. Its Spotlight search tool adds a lot of points to it. You can create a search interface anywhere on the home screen, and any application, contact, text message and other messages can be searched at any time, which saves time and is more practical.

In addition to Spotlight, Apple's APP Store is also very popular among developers. If there is a new application that needs to be developed, most people will choose to develop IOS first, because compared with Android, iOS applications are more profitable. In addition, a research company pointed out that the development time of the same application on the Android platform is about 28% longer than that on the iOS platform, because the code workload of the Android version of the application is about 38% more than that of IOS. Such a convenient and profitable platform will naturally survive for a long time.

Apple is constantly developing in all directions to enhance its competitiveness, and at the same time, it is keeping pace with the times. With its existing reputation and convincing quality, if it can continue to move forward courageously, Apple may be able to break through the obstacles of the times and constantly update itself to gain a long-term life.

If Jobs were still alive, he probably wouldn't brag like this. He might say: Apple can live forever!
