I bet it only runs on special Apple electricity which is 3 times the price..

and you will only be able to use their special plug system:bannana:

And the battery will konk out after a month and apple will claim that you charged it incorrectly

And the juice will run out way faster than it should. It will however be a beautifully sculpted object of desire. You'll have to wait for version 6.0 before the battery power is adequate for daily use.

I rather think that if they do bring something out , it will be revolutionary , perhaps a completely autonomous city car which you will just step into , announce where you wish to go , and relax .

Moreover , it may be a sort of motorised 'Boris bike' where no one needs to own one but you just subscribe and pick up the nearest one for your journey ( they may have dedicated inductive parking spaces and when you finish your journey the car will go to the nearest one to recharge itself - of course , in California they might cover the vehicle in photovoltaic cells to take advantage of the constant sunshine and keep the batteries charged , and a pedal option to keep the greenies happy ) . The car would recognise you by interfacing with your iPhone , watch or other Apple device then , optionally , make small talk with you depending on your interests stored in your device , which it would also have charging ports for .

I could imagine such a scheme being rolled out in California , then being taken up by other cities .

Before long , competitors would jump on the bandwagon with similar , but never quite as good , products .

It will be locked to only one electricity supplier, unless you pay a vast sum of money to get it unlocked.
So if you drive from an NPower region to a SSE region you will not be able to recharge without the unlock code.

Much as I do not like Apple as a company very much I have no doubt their car will be very desirable, good looking and wipe the market.

If true, other manufacturers had better start pulling the proverbial digits out!
