“Apple's Greed Is Finally Backfiring”

[ThomasJL]

The video in the link below provides a detailed explanation of how Tim Cook, ever since becoming CEO in 2011, has not cared about products, has intentionally stifled innovation, has intentionally given customers as little as he can get away with, while simultaneously increasing prices:

Apple isn’t a charity. I like how people use the term Green when it doesn’t apply to them. When they think they deserve a pay raise that’s not greed but when a business wants to charge more, that’s greed.


As to the innovation, no company can constantly come out with new successful products. Apple came out with Apple Silicon and they’re working on other improvements. Apple made the Mac relevant again but they can’t come out with Apple Silicon every year.


To me, this is just typical whining. Every time the graph goes down you get the Apple is going broke people. Zoom out on the graph and you will see that’s not true.

I’ve seen this channel’s videos before and from what I can tell he has no inside information that we don’t have. So he merely does the exact same thing people on these forums do—cherry pick information and make assumptions that support their pre-formed biased conclusions. The only difference is he makes nice videos (and makes money from them).

Excuses, excuses. If Steve Jobs was still alive, or even if Scott Forstall was still at Apple, there would’ve been much more innovation since 2011.

That video is not saying Apple is doomed financially. That video is pointing out that Tim Cook’s greed has finally caused Apple to take a financial hit.

Keep fighting the good fight @ThomasJL --- ignore the noise.

You speak the truth and everyone needs to hear it ... to at least consider it.

Using a logical fallacy as your retort is not logical at all (if Steve Jobs...).

Apple has taken temporary financial hits from time to time, as does any large corporation. That in and of itself doesn't concern me day to day. I look at Apple's overall pattern which shows success in a variety of ways. And that is one of the reasons why I am willing to pay extra for many different Apple products.

It has been my observation (over the years) on the forum, that many of those who are so quick to complain about what they perceive as a lack of innovation by Apple, are also those who 1) have an unrealistic expectation of new technology 2) lack the ability to adequately and consistently define what is truly lacking in current devices that actually inhibit normal usage. Instead, the complainer often retorts with Samsung or Google et al has already done x,y,z while continuing to buy Apple products and bashing Apple every chance that arises. That kind of mindset strikes me as rather illogical and impractical. And last but certainly not least (3) said complainers usually lack the ability to design and bring to fruition technology (code and apps) that they rail on Apple for not achieving. I like to refer to people like this as Sunday armchair quarterbacks. Ditch the team jersey and the trite rhetoric and their noise is empty and without merit, much like the video you linked to.
