Great post for those with integration view of business, as Steve!
I think apple represent with perfection, an totaly architected technological enviroment. What with the most care with the user experience, the usability, the clean design, is bringing to all of us the perfect experience!
And the apple environment could be simply explained by just one sentence : "careful with the maximization of the user experience"
And i agree with Adnaan, in his thoughts, that - "The auto industry is going through a technological discontinuity in its shift to hybrid and electric vehicles. This is still in its very early innings" ... And with the apple´s power of design and product integration, i realy belive that the auto industry could be the next re-invented industry by apple!
Besides, a partnership with Elon musks, for me, this seems as a very good disruptive ingredient in this equation!
