Forget the Apple Car. I want Apple to enter the lawnmower, chainsaw and weed eater markets.
For years I've used Apple products and they work 99.9% of the time with no fuss. Not so with all the yard equipment I've owned.
For instance, my Yard Mower quit on me last week. I was mowing my lawn with the push mower, which had been treated to fresh oil and some nice ethanol-free gas. Despite the love bestowed up on it, it belched once and refused to do any more work. It's been on strike since that day.
Last autumn I was using a chainsaw to slice up some small, fallen trees in the yard. The chainsaw fell apart. Literally. The bar detached itself from the body and fell to the ground. Apparently, it was a mechanical suicide.
And don't get me started on weed eaters. They only work when they feel like it.
Admittedly, I'm not mechanically inclined when it comes to small engine repair. And Apple certainly isn't going to enter this market.
Too bad. I can mow, weed eat, and saw like a demon when my equipment is operational. I'm spoiled, I guess, as I expect them, with proper maintenance, to just work.
Like my Mac. My iPad. And my iPhone.
