Apple will come out with the iPhone 8 in the fall. I’ll probably get it…they still do a pretty good job of convincing me I need the new one.
The reason I’ll need it is because of all the new features it will have. They’ll be new and exciting and make the technological part of my life much better.
Here’s the thing…I don’t think the Apple development team showed up at the office the day after the iPhone 7 came out and asked “Ok, anybody got any ideas for the 8?”
Sure, a brand new amazing idea is always welcome…but there is a highly detailed plan at Apple about which features each iteration of the iPhone will have. They’ve known what the 8 would be all about for quite a while.
They could have put lots of the iPhone 8 features in the 7 but the didn’t. It’s a loooooong roll out. Years long. It’s incremental. It’s planned. I would surmise that the brand new ideas that are being worked on right now, we won’t see them for years…like the 10 or 11.
I’m not telling you to parcel out your best songs or anything like that, but to consider the roll out of your career. What features are being revealed now? What features will be revealed next year and the year after? What’s the flow of the rollout…your songs, content, story, personality, aesthetic, tour, artwork?
What does the next couple iterations of your career look like?
