The nerdiest but honest way to explain iPhone events in 2025:
This is how Apple plans to squeeze 1% to 2% incremental growth from a smartphone market that stopped growing years ago.
The company is a genius at making money from this kind of dull thinking.

Anyone saying that GenAI could replace software engineers don't understand how software is created (and operated.)
Tool innovations have always make the process of building software faster, cheaper: GenAI and AI agents will also do this.
But these are tools and efficiency gains.
