‼️ APPLE CAMPUS AT RTP DELAYED? HOW BAD IS THIS FOR RALEIGH? ‼️ Apple campus delayed! Apple is supposed to be building it’s billion dollar campus at the Raleigh and Durham area’s Research Triangle Park, making it Apple’s east coast hub. But years have past since the announcement with no construction starting to date, causing concern for some and jubilation for others. In June 2024, Apple just announced that the Apple Campus at RTP has been delayed at least another four years. Is this the writing on the wall that Apple will ultimately abandon it’s plans to build this state-of-the-art facility? In this video, we investigate the history of the announcement of the apple campus delay, and how this might impact Raleigh’s economic outlook. Come see whether or not we believe the Apple campus delay at RTP will be the beginning of a larger trend here in Raleigh, NC. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eqURWVcZ

There are a lot more options for Apple that have hit the market in the years since this project was initially pitched. The big question now is more of a debate between the costs of new construction versus taking on existing space —

Steve Jobs wants you to fail Steve Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976 from his garage with Steve Wozniak, starting with the Apple I computer, which they sold to local enthusiasts. His fascination with technology began in childhood when he spent time tinkering with electronics in his family’s garage and attending lectures at Hewlett-Packard, where he later worked a summer job. Jobs’ early curiosity and vision for user-friendly technology laid the foundation for Apple’s rise as a global tech leader.

''Thought of the day'' Apple faced challenges in the 90s, including losing market share to Microsoft and struggling with networking and memory management issues. Jobs overcame these challenges by acquiring NeXT and eventually returning to Apple as CEO.

In a 1995 interview, a year before his return to Apple, Steve Jobs shared a profound observation: "Apple was a company that was based on innovation. When I left Apple 10 years ago, we were 10 years ahead of anybody else. It took Microsoft 10 years to copy Windows. The problem was that Apple stood still." - Steve Jobs This remark becomes even more significant when we consider the transformative impact Jobs had after rejoining Apple. Under his leadership, Apple didn't just keep pace; it redefined the tech landscape. Today, as we look at Apple post-2011, there's a looming question: Is Apple experiencing another standstill? While it continues to be a leader in design and user experience, the burning flame of groundbreaking innovation that Jobs ignited seems to be flickering in the face of new technological frontiers. Steve Jobs' vision for Apple was never about just staying ahead; it was about constantly redefining what's ahead. Is Apple maintaining its trailblazing legacy, or are we witnessing a phase of complacency? How can Apple, in the spirit of Steve Jobs, reignite its innovation engine? #Apple #SteveJobs #Innovation #Technology #Future

From Silicon to Autonomy: My Apple Journey I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to take a moment to reflect on my time at Apple, which came to a close a few weeks ago. As I look back on my ~8 years at the company, I'm filled with gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research projects that pushed the boundaries of innovation. Coming from the semiconductor industry, I never thought I'd find myself working on autonomous technologies, but Apple's innovative spirit and vision drew me in. I still remember my first day, walking into the office and asking "What is a harness?" Little did I know, that question was just the beginning of an incredible journey. Over the years, I learned from the best, grew as a professional, and had the privilege of working on research projects that aimed to make a real difference. Although our project was ultimately cancelled, the experience was invaluable. We prototyped, tested, and learned so much together. I gained new skills, perspectives, and a deeper understanding of what it takes to bring innovative ideas to life. While Apple offered other opportunities, I decided it was time for me to explore new horizons. I'm excited to apply the knowledge and expertise I gained to new challenges and opportunities. Thanks to everyone who supported me on this journey! Here's to new adventures and the next chapter in my career! #Research #Innovation #CareerGrowth #NewChapter

This image shows an Apple I computer housed in a briefcase. The Apple I was the first personal computer built by Apple, designed by Steve Wozniak and sold by Steve Jobs in 1976, marking the dawn of personal computing. This particular setup, housed in a modified briefcase, perfectly represents the DIY spirit of early tech innovation. It also reminds me of a key principle in product development today: Fail Fast, Fail Cheap. Much like the early Apple engineers, when we build Proof of Concepts (PoCs), it’s about getting ideas into the world quickly to test, iterate, and learn—without heavy investment. Early experimentation helps us find what works and pivot before scaling. This mindset fosters innovation, and sometimes, as Apple’s story shows, it sparks a revolution. #Innovation #FailFast #TechHistory #PoC #Apple #DesignThinking Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

🌟 On This Day: The Dawn of a New Era in Technology 🌟 April 11, 1976 - A date that forever changed the landscape of technology. On this day, Apple Inc. introduced its first product, the Apple I, heralding the beginning of the personal computing revolution. Designed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, the Apple I was a testament to the power of innovative thinking and determination. This remarkable invention not only marked the inception of one of the most influential tech companies in history but also demonstrated the transformative potential of technology. It was a stepping stone towards a future where technology became an integral part of everyday life. Let's take a moment to celebrate the visionary minds behind the Apple I and the endless possibilities their innovations have unlocked. #OnThisDay #AppleI #TechInnovation #HistoryMakers

#onthisday in #tech #history -- August 6, 1997 🗓️ Apple and Microsoft Call Truce 🍎 🤗 🪟 At the Macworld Expo in Boston, Steve Jobs announces that Apple and Microsoft have signed a five-year alliance. Bill Gates famously makes his seemingly ominous “big brother” appearance on the large presentation screen during the announcement. As part of the deal, Microsoft committed to continuing development of Microsoft Office for Mac over the next five years, Apple would make Internet Explorer the default web browser on the Mac, Apple and Microsoft would collaborate on Java compatibility, and Microsoft invested $150 million in Apple stock. However, the most important part of the arrangement is that both companies would cross-license all existing patents along with any new patents over the next five years, Apple would drop their long-running series of patent-infringement lawsuits against Microsoft, and Microsoft paid an undisclosed amount of money to Apple. The common assumption in the tech community was that Microsoft’s $150 million investment in Apple saved the company. However, the reality is that with Apple holding $1.2 billion in cash at the time, $150 million was a relatively small sum of money. Some now believe the undisclosed amount of money that Microsoft paid Apple was in fact a secret settlement to the patent-infringment claims, a large part of which was related to Apple’s claim that Intel and Microsoft stole code related to the QuickTime multimedia technology. Estimated at anywhere between $500 million to $2 billion, this was the real meat of the so-called “cross-licensing” arrangement. It was likely this much larger undisclosed amount, plus the approximately $1 billion Apple earned by divesting itself of most of their investment in ARM stock over the course of 1998-1999, along with the show of confidence that Apple would be around at least another five years that gave Apple and Steve Jobs the breathing room needed to reinvent Apple and eventually build it into the most valuable company in the world.
