The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓Successful launch of AI features at WWDC
- ✓Acceleration in services revenue or iPhone upgrade cycles driven by AI features
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸Failure to deliver a compelling AI strategy at upcoming events
- ▸Executive transition risks as leadership changes occur
