That's an old article. Which I suspect was based on an older info. Apple is said to have approved production earlier this year. https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/20/wsj-says-airpower-produ...

This comparison is laughable. Apple faces far more scrutiny than CNES.

China is a big part of Apple's growth strategy.

Even if we did it that way, Apple still comes out ahead.

Also, that 86% is basically from Google Search ads and YouTube. YouTube's quarterly revenue is estimated to be just under $4 billion. That puts Google Search ads at around 72%, which is still higher than the iPhone's 59%.

The notion that Alphabet's "other" projects succeeded while Apple's languished is completely baseless.

iPhone sales generate 59% of Apple's revenue, while ads generate 86% of Alphabet's revenue.

Again, Apple has a more diversified revenue stream than Alphabet and it is growing. Contrary to what you are trying to imply, Apple is actually more successful than Alphabet. The difference is they don't tell the world about their internal projects.

> Alphabet is doing all of these things and more though no? With more much success too from what I can garner.

Apple has more diversified revenue than Alphabet. Why would you say Alphabet is more successful?. All this tells me is that Apple thinks long and hard before publicizing what it's working on, they won't show us prototypes.

> Waymo is the defacto number one leader in self-driving, whereas Apple’s self driving unit is having huge issues internally with getting anything done.

ALL of Apple's reported problems had to do with the MAKING of a car, not autonomous systems. People just don't get this distinction. We will know how far their system is at the end of this month when the DMV releases their disengagement report. By the way, recent developments indicate that Apple is back to building an electric self-driving car instead of a self-driving platform.

You have got to be joking. Looking at the revenue numbers, it's clear that Apple is more diversified than Google. The declining iPhone sales are a short term problem. People are just keeping the devices for longer, not abandoning the ecosystem. Their services and wearables are seeing an impressive growth. I think the watch will grow even faster once Apple makes it a completely independent device.

The difference between these two companies is that one publicizes the stuff it's working on and rushes it to market, while the other keeps it all secret until it's ready.

Also, Apple is working on AR glasses(rumored to be announced next year), self-driving car and are making a big push into digital health.

Apple is far from doomed, they still have a lot of room for growth.

It's going to benefit consumers in the long run because manufacturers have more freedom. If MS gives away Bing and Edge, then manufacturers probably won't pay for Chrome and Google search.

I think AngleSharp can handle JS and it's not that different from HtmlAgilityPack. https://github.com/AngleSharp/AngleSharp

It's about the ability to stifle competition. Apple's market share is too small to do that.
