The electronics giant has been quietly — but dramatically — ramping up its R&D efforts in recent years, but has little to show for it.
Apple was a pioneer in digital media with the music and video downloads it sold and streamed through its iTunes store and software, noted Niles. But by the time it launches it streaming video service, it will be far behind Netflix,"We've been waiting for a TV streaming service [from Apple] for years," Niles said. He continued:"This is not a nascent market.
Another factor playing into Apple's R&D troubles seems to stem from a change in their focus, analysts said. For much of its history, Apple wasn't known for doing much in the way of basic research. Instead, it was a master of taking technologies invented elsewhere and turning them into breakthrough mass-market devices.. The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player, and Apple didn't invent either the MP3 audio format or the mini-hard drive that was at the device's heart.
