I’d love for this to actually happen. Hopefully it’s coming 🔜

    What does “pre-logged” mean? Will Apple create a calorie tracking app? How will portion sizes be determined? Will it provide national values and allow customization for individual servings for families or meals?

    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.

    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 –”

    Someone just needs to come up with an open system for managing genuine nutritional information that comes from the makers of the food. So it’s guaranteed to have all of the information and it’s updated.

    Sadly I don’t think it will work unless it’s something forced by a government but this is the one thing that ruins all food tracking apps.

    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.
