It helps designers and engineers to focus on being creative when working on mobile devices.
If anything I'd like to see them increase their developer count massively so they can actually fix all their incredibly buggy software, which seems mostly to be buggy because they don't have the people to fix things, rather than the developers they do have being bad or lazy.Onshape for Android allows you to create, modify 3D mechanical CAD models. They're literally trying to do the entire jobs of Intel, AMD, nVidia, Microsoft, and several other gigantic hardware and software companies all at once. The trouble is that Apple are literally trying to completely re-invent several wheels simultaneously.
I know there is an impression that everyone in Silicon Valley is just sitting around designing new emojis and playing in a giant ball-pool, but I get the impression that Apple really is doing an incredible amount of work for its size. The few people I know who work at Apple are absolutely world-class, and I don't think I've ever met or interacted with a developer at Apple who didn't come off as incredibly competent. I think it's almost the opposite, at least on the software side (which is the only one I know about). Hope this discussion keeps going, this thread is super interesting! With their market standing, they literally could be shaking up the world, while still turning a profit with iPhones and whatever else the sheep need to buy. Don't think I am singing the nostalgia tune either, *ahem* deconstruct, I am just saying that with the amount of cash they have, and their market cap, they literally could have their R&D group on overdrive making insane machines, even if it doesn't turn a profit right away - and they could afford to do so. Just imagine what innovations they could give the whole world, if they were still the apple of old. That massive slush fund, just sitting there. Things like this or this for example - It just makes me sad seeing all of their potential go to waste. It felt like a massive hit when Ive left. Things like that^ make me worry about what they will become when all of the Jobs era employees are gone. Some others are also reportedly reducing their footprint, instead of getting promoted, they are stepping into less-involved roles.
Adding even more fuel to this fire - apparently a LOT of executives are departing now, or within the very short future.
