Why hasn't Apple sponsored CoP yet? Disney/Jobs --> huge connection; attraction desperately needs some tech updating...
Seems pretty logical to me.

I think if Apple got involved anywhere, it should be Imagination Pav. And I don't see that happening unless Disney lets Apple come at it with a bull dozer first.

I hope you're not comparing Walt to Steve Jobs, because they are completely different.
Apple doesn't really innovate anything anymore. Sure it could be argued they started the smart phone craze but since then they've just gone downhill. They don't know how to innovate anymore to be honest, just how to market.

Agreed, they used to be innovators, creating wonderful machines.
Now they're really hasn't been much improvements since the iPhone 3 to the 5 besides Siri, a bigger screen and HD screen.
But back to the topic, Apple could be a great sponsor, maybe for CoP, but I don't see that happening in the foreseeable future.
With most of the focus on household appliances, unless apple starts making the iStove, I don't see it being a good fit.

No he's not. He's referring to the fact Steve Jobs had about 145million shares of Disney shares worth around $4.5 billion from selling Pixar to Disney and sat on the board of the Walt Disney Company. Pretty strong association with Disney I would say.
Apple has the money but there is nothing about CoP that would do much for their business. Imagination would be better but won't happen because again its at best tangential to Apple's businesses which are about innovation so Samsung has something to copy.

That's what I was thinking. Except for the last scene I don't think apple would fit anywhere in the attraction and even then it would be a stretch.

I like Apple's products, mostly because I'm a dodo when it comes to technology and I can USE Apple's products. I am forever grateful to Steve Jobs for making sure us dodos could use his stuff, too. I wish he'd lived to implement his hospital ideas.
Since I use my iPad to surf these boards, I can't really say they haven't done anything for me lately. Laptops sucked compared to this.
I'm totally in favor of Apple in the parks. I'm just not sure they think they need to bother advertising there.

They do not innovate, they just know how to market effectively. Steve Jobs was not the brains behinds Apple, Woz was. Jobs was just a very good marketer.

Product placement... Put an iMac in the last scene along with some white earbuds. Mission accomplished.
They do have the "Woznijobs" in the SSE garage scene.
In the early days of EPCOT Center they had Sperry-Univac and SGI. Now they have IBM and HP.

Whoopi Goldberg using a Sperry computer in Jumping Jack Flash. It would be a great new scene for CoP. JK.- Good movie though
