The primary takeaway from Apple’s “Peek Performance” event held last month wasn’t found with any particular product. Instead, it was the sheer breadth of product unveilings that caught Neil’s attention. In episode 189, Neil discusses how a revised product strategy and doubling down on a long-standing internal product development process have resulted in Apple being in a league of its own in terms of maintaining and updating such a wide and comprehensive ecosystem of devices and services. Additional discussion topics include Apple new user trends, autonomy within Apple, how the competition is floundering, and the risk Apple faces in an environment with weaker competitors.
Receive Neil’s analysis and perspective on Apple throughout the week via exclusive daily updates. The updates, which have become widely read and influential in the world of Apple, provide timely analysis of news impacting Apple and its competitors. Neil also publishes exclusive reports on Apple business, product, and financial strategy. The daily updates and reports are available to Above Avalon members.

Above Avalon Episode 174: Apple Watch Is a Runaway Train
While the tech press spent years infatuated with stationary smart speakers and the idea of voice-only interfaces, it was the Apple Watch and utility on the wrist that ushered in a new paradigm shift in computing. In episode 174, Neil discusses how Apple Watch momentum is building. The product category resembles a runaway train as no company is in a position to slow it down. Additional topics include the stationary smart speaker mirage, Neil’s Apple Watch installed base estimates, how Apple Watch derives its momentum, and Apple’s health platform.
