Bloomberg: Apple targets 2028 release date for its own electric vehicle
Bloomberg: Apple targets 2028 release date for its own electric vehicle::Project Titan, the Apple electric car project, has been underway since 2015. But the project has faced numerous delays and...
Disappointed to see very little in the way of actual discussion, and just a load of shitposting.
But to be fair, this is almost certainly bollocks. It was bollocks when it was first floated a decade ago, and it remains so. As much as the oft-rumoured Apple TV set was.
At best, Apple are expanding what they offer in-car, which, y’know, they’re already doing anyway.
Why would Apple want to get the car building market? It makes no sense at all.
Isn't Apple TV a thing though? It's been a thing for a long time.
It's not a TV though, it's a streaming box. If they ever do make an actual TV that's going to be really confusing.
The other reply has covered what Apple TV is, but for context; some 15 years ago there were regular reports that Apple were about to release their own TV set.
At a glance, this isn’t too dumb; they already had a standalone monitor, and the difference between an iMac and an LCD TV isn’t huge. But give it more than a moment’s thought and you realise that it’s complete bollocks. People replace computers semi regularly because more powerful ones come along. How often do you replace your TV?
Happens on mostly every apple post. Super cringe.
This is something that I probably won’t buy, but I’m curious to see what Apple would do with an instrument cluster.
Let me guess. It'll only operate on Apple-approved roads, can only be charged by Apple branded chargers and get bricked after 2 years when "It's no longer supported"
Look, I dislike Apple's walled-garden as much as the next guy, but let's give credit where it's due. Apple has been phenomenal at supporting its older devices, much longer than most Android manufacturers. The iPhone 7 only recently stopped getting updates, and it was from 2016. The standard for Androids is still 2 years, so when it comes to long term device support, the point undeniably goes to Apple.
I bought a 2014 Mac Mini for $60 a couple months ago. It still runs just fine, and literally yesterday it got a new security update. That's ten years of support.
People can make fun of Apple for myriad things, but not supporting their devices is not one of them.
Indeed. As much as I love shitting on Apple, the lifespan of their phones is one of only two things that has made me ever consider an iPhone. They're great on that.
Apple users are getting settlement checks starting this month because Apple lost its lawsuit over intentionally throttling previous model phones with their "updates"
My fusion drive iMac was rendered unusable by an OS update that was optimized for SSD and put any hard drive Mac to a crawl.
I had to change to a SSD, which was very fun because I had to unglue the screen and glue it back when I was done.
And it will cost at least 10M.
See, all I can imagine is a big iPad on wheels.
Started with the pod, then made a slightly larger screen and turned it into a phone, then made it even bigger and turned it into a tablet…now make it into a car.
Thank god Balmer is no longer in charge of Microsoft or we would soon have a Microsoft car. It would look vaguely like the Apple car and have one unique feature that is so poorly implemented it is worthless.
My predictions:
You should have written ["best"] not [best]
I believe that Xiaomi has already introduced a car now, actually.
Charging port will be on the bottom and be non standard.
I know this is all android nerds commenting on something they don’t care about for some reason but my guess would be that by then we’ll just be driving over a pad in our garages and not have to touch anything.
You can 100% just look to Tesla to see what will happen. Tesla has been following the Apple model ("but on cars") since the beginning.
Well, at least the upcoming Apple car will have perfect panel alignments.
You hope.
I was referring to the chargers (home and other). I know there's a rich history, but I also know that it wasn't being released free and clear when CCS was being developed.
I acknowledge that they are now releasing NACS to the public. In other news, Apple is now using using USB-C. These may or may not be related.
