    There is no way they’d enter a market with such a high support burden & massive potential for generating bad press & ruining their reputation.

    Apple isn’t a grocery store. So, it’s not as simple as them becoming one.

    Apple is a tech company, and wants data more than anything. I can see them creating a service that leverages typical retail channels. Capturing the shopping habits from consumers akin to the data Shopify is gathering, whilst also providing a platform for small and midsize businesses, is more their style.

    No chance this is happening, this is not even remotely in Apples wheelhouse and it’s a crowded market where Apple really has little uniqueness to offer.

    There are plenty of easier, more profitable ventures for Apple than this.

    It’s obvious how this brainchild originated. A certain CEO (who’s not famed for his imagination) was engaged in his favourite activity – doodling, applying decorative ornaments to his surname when, wondering how to make his mark on the world, at last it came to him – a groundbreaking idea – “Cook! That’s it. Food.”

    “But sir –”

    “No ‘buts’ Zack. Shareholders’ll love it. Now, hop to it.”

    “But sir –”

    I guess the world really is full of pathetic billionaires obsessed with becoming “the everything app”. Apple wants to monitor your heart rate and also decide what you eat. I guess this is normal behavior.
