The first MacJury of 2016 takes on a broad topic: what Apple needs to do better. Do they pay too much attention to the analysts and Wall Street? Are they spreading themselves too thin? Making too many mistakes? Is iTunes indicative of the problem? The many criticisms that have been directed at Apple, and some suggestions for improvements, are addressed by the panel of Peter Cohen, Mark Fuccio, Chuck La Tournous and host Chuck Joiner.
