@theallinpod: Why It Feels Like Apple Fell Off: Too Much Tastemaking, Not Enough Tastemakers Keith Rabois’s theory: Apple is suffering from an overreliance on tastemaking, but all the tastemakers are gone! Apple's product strategy is still living in the Jobs/Ive era, where taste and intuition win out over consumer data and UX feedback. On E207, Chamath voiced his frustration with the iPhone 16 and most recent iOS update: Chamath: "My iPhone does not work. I'm sorry, I'm just going to say it, okay? I don't know what happened." Jason: "You upgraded your software is what happened, you're on iOS 18. It doesn't work." Chamath: "The phone bricks constantly. My photos app doesn't work. It is just really bad." Chamath: "For a company of this scale, I don't understand how it does not go through a more complicated test harness that catches all of this." Jason: "There's no arbiter of taste anymore, who is the backstop?" Keith: "So I think taste is great if you have it, but there's only so many people to planet that are going to have cutting edge taste, and be right." Keith: "If you don't have taste, what most tech companies do is they use data. Data is something that's approachable and leverageable." Keith: "Because Apple has the antibodies to using data to measure success with the user experience... if you subtract taste even by a bit, you don't have the scaffolding that every other company would use." Keith: "And so you see the worst of both worlds." #apple #iphone #tech #stocks #learn #podcast #allin #allinpod #finance #business #technology #design #ux #ui
