Ok that might have been a little naughty of me – just trying to grab some attention. It gets lonely out here.
Autonomous vehicles really are the flavour of the month and the pace of change is simply amazing. Every week there is a new announcement about an advance in the technology. And despite this the one announcement that we are waiting for, despite what I am pretty sure was an agreed ‘leak’ is the one from Apple confirming their entry into this market.
While on the subject of Apple (and if you’ll allow me a little diversion here {did you see what I just did}) I can confidently predict that in Hong Kong at least the new iPhone 6S will be a huge hit. And how do I know this? If you take a walk past the Apple store in Causeway Bay you’ll know why. The legion of resellers who stand outside the store selling the iPhone that they have just bought is the clue. So you can go into the store and buy a phone or pay presumably more to buy one from a street seller not 5 paces from the door to the store. The last time this happened was with the launch of the iPhone 5 and Apple themselves went on to mention that demand was extremely strong in Hong Kong. You heard it here first.
As I understand it Apple usually makes major product announcements once or twice a year so we may just have to wait for news. But if the length of lines and the resellers are anything to go by for a phone I confidently predict (here I go again) that should they develop something it will probably sell extremely well in Asia.
So Apple start here first – please….
