Sincerely, we're not soothsayers. We'll let the tech mags debate it on the fly.
We took our time to analyze the opportunities that seemed most relevant to us. Our starting point - as is often the case - was the uncertainties generated by a new launch.
In the end, that's what our job is all about.
True.
In fact, Apple plans to sell around 150,000 units. But that doesn't mean the market won't exist.
Think luxury and pro.
Ask an architect, a graphic design agency or a premium home cinema owner how much he has invested in his screens? A pro photographer's screen costs around $2,000.
Apple offers an infinite number of screens for 3,500.
Yes and no.
Apple builds on all the progress made to date, and adds another layer.
VisionOS is a so-called "real-time" operating system, usually reserved for military or scientific applications.
In a nutshell? Zero lag.
And that, for use as a productivity tool, is essential.
You're 100% right.
Despite two or three specific announcements (Office suite, Disney partnership), everything is still to be built. The Vision Pro's dedicated app store is empty. But in a year's time, for the launch, it will be full to bursting.
And we're not immune to Apple being very generous with the pioneers who will fill its store.
A bit of movement on the savings/retirement front.
Fact n°1: the adoption of the pension reform.
Fact no. 2: the vote expected this summer on the Value Sharing Act, which will require companies with 11 to 49 employees to set up a profit-sharing scheme, an employee savings plan or a value-sharing bonus as soon as they are profitable.
This opens the door to new players who will take the opposite approach to traditional organizations. This is already the case with Gedeon (2 million euros raised at the beginning of the year from Business Angels), which places usage and pedagogy at the heart of its offering. We can finally say that we understand something about PERs.
Over the next 10 years, the water issue is set to take center stage. Several megacities are successfully testing "decentralized water treatment systems".
In other words, each building has its own technology for treating and reusing wastewater. In San Francisco, this is now mandatory for all buildings over 10,000m2.
Of course, Silicon Valley is already on the case.
Totally unknown in our country, it's Tik Tok's e-commerce platform (aptly named Tik Tok Shop).
Launched last year in 6 Southeast Asian countries, it is beginning to worry the giants Alibaba and Shopee, who have witnessed its rapid growth.
According to analysts, it's the rise of social commerce (via influencers) and a mobile-firstgeneration that are pushing the platform to the top.
