Why doesn't Apple have a social network?

Around the world, Apple has a huge number of fans. It seems to me that if Apple created their own social network, it would be more popular than Facebook. What do you think?

I have been thinking about this for a long time and am ready to offer answers to the questions of why this will be so and how to do so. If I had the opportunity to present my project, I am sure that he would be interested in Apple's leadership.

But Apple has a policy when they do not accept any ideas. I understand how difficult it would be to process all the ideas coming to Apple, but I am sure that some of the ideas are worth it.

Let's discuss how interesting the Apple social network is, if I'm right and it is really interesting, I hope Apple will listen to us.

The forums here provide a method of asking for advice on Apple Products from experienced users: it's not meant for social interaction and I would think you only have to look at the drivel posted on certain other social networks to see why Apple restricts that sort of thing here.

As to creating a separate network for purely social interaction, I would imagine that Apple wouldn't want to do this for the same reason that they don't make toasters - it's not part of their business model which is to sell computers and iOS devices, and software and entertainment products to run on them.

There's nothing to stop you suggesting this to Apple if you think it's worth it, at https://www.apple.com/feedback : but this isn't the place to discuss it - you are in effect asking for a poll, which is specificallly forbidden, and likely to be summarily removed.

There is no suitable topic for feedback on this issue, so I wrote here. I did not know that there can be no discussion.

As for the business model, there is nothing permanent in the world. Were the phones used to be part of the Apple business model? Did the cars appear? Why would Apple not have its own social network? It'll be cool. Imagine that Apple may have income from a social network like Facebook or Amazon.

It doesn't matter if you provide feedback under a topic that's not precisely related to what you want to talk about. I would suggest you submit it under one of the Mac topics, for example MacBook. It doesn't really matter. As long as you are clear in your feedback, it will be routed to the correct people.

>>>Apple has tried that at least twice that I know of. First, with eWorld and later with Ping. Neither were very successful.

These were not social networks in the modern sense, only services with strictly limited topics. I offer a full-fledged social network and even more than a social network. If Apple hear me, I promise an innovative and even revolutionary product.
