Is history doomed to repeat for Apple? Sam Korus and Nicholas Grous are joined by ARK Chief Futurist, Brett Winton, to discuss the current state of Apple, particularly focusing on its challenges in innovation and AI development. They analyze the delays in launching promised features, the implications of these delays on Apple's reputation, and the competitive landscape in which Apple operates. The discussion also touches on the company's historical context, its financial strength, and the potential future of AI within Apple's ecosystem.
