Steve Jobs had at least enough product sense to avoid releasing the iPhone and iPod for years while they were in early development.
Meta has none of this.
Apple succeeded (and succeeds still) because of the company’s culture of obsessiveness. The original motto of Facebook was “move fast and break things” which might have worked well for an evolving social media darling but it’s not surprising that they’re failing constantly at shipping real world products.
John Carmack (now a Meta employee) openly complains that he’s not happy with their expensive unaffordable product that has terrible performance for users. Taking this analogy further, in this case Meta is like IBM with a research facility developing expensive GUI prototypes, just waiting for an enterprising startup to rehash their ideas into something affordable, enjoyable, and usable for most people.
