I’m not defending Apple, because its pretty clear they had no idea what was coming in the next 10 years, but I will point out that nobody did. You should read The Road Ahead by Bill Gates - it’s staggering how many things he got wrong or misjudged or failed to anticipate as well.
It makes you wonder if many of us could do any better with identifying trends for the next 10-15 years of computing and technology, and if so, capitalize on that investment wise. I’m guessing probably not, unfortunately
Regardless of your choice of poison in the technology space, Mac or PC, or Other, the last couple decades and the present time are fantastic times to be a fan of technology - the pace of change and innovation is pretty incredible when you sit back and look at the big picture.
