Who is Apple?

Apple’s software strategy functions as a defensive moat for its hardware ecosystem, prioritizing deep OS integration and on-device privacy over cross-platform reach. By controlling the default experience for core functions like messaging and finance, they maintain high switching costs while driving adoption of proprietary services. The current trajectory shows a pivot toward 'Apple Intelligence,' retrofitting legacy utilities with generative AI to maintain relevance against third-party AI-first competitors.
