We already had this. It was called Theranos.

I'm not sure what this comment is trying to say. Theranos was a company build from the ground up on fraud. Apple, for all its faults, is provably at the forefront of technology used in personal computing devices.

  • Apple is first and foremost an affordable luxury brand that makes sleek hardware.

    • And theranos did that too? Theranos, a medical company, was an affordable luxury (??) brand that makes sleek hardware? In fact the hardware was not sleek at all, since it didn't function.

  • I think you've captured exactly what they are trying to say

    • This doesn't exactly make it clearer. I can think of two things it can imply. Neither make a lick of sense:

      - Theranos was at the forefront of medical technology

      - Apple is a fraudulent company to the core

I don't know if we "had" something called Theranos. In fact, I believe that was the subject of a couple of lawsuit because we didn't.
