Correct, yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, if they never decided to build and ship a search engine, that just means they figured it was never going to be worth it to Apple.

That doesn't mean they don't think search engines matter.

That just means they don't think it's worth it to be involved in that business.

Well, and the metaverse, remember?

And the metaverse.

But I think Apple at least sees the writing that there are people who are like, look at all these cool things that Circle the Search and Gemini and all these AI like built-in features on Android phones is doing.

At least we can match that just to make sure that's not a reason why you're leaving the iPhone.

Clearly planned on delivering.

So the only other connection I can make between.

businesses slash fads that apple has decided not to invest in which at this point is just search engines and their ai foundation models and multiple wireless chargers in one and the metaverse oh yeah well i guess between those two is air power they those two are reliant on all this data

And Apple's thing is privacy and not sharing user data.

And so if you're Apple and you're going, should we invest a ton in building our own foundation models and competing with OpenAI and all these companies that are just inhaling data?

No, because that's not in the wheelhouse of how they make money or what they do.

And same with a search engine.

Apple could build the UI to a search engine, sure, but all the other things that make a search engine good are not things that Apple really does.

Maybe.

Also, Mariah's here.
