Is Cook a techie?That would be a mistake. It's one thing to be a non-techie (which she readily admits) when you're just responsible for retail, but she really shouldn't be responsible for Apple as a whole.

She knows how to run a company and her resume speaks for itself. They will be able to trust someone like her. Tim isn't a techie - he's a numbers guy and Apple is doing well.That would be a mistake.

I really wish she wouldn't use the phrase "fake news". It's use only works to legitimize the idea that the media is inherently untrustworthy.

He has a BS in industrial engineering and used to work at IBM and Compaq...Is Cook a techie?
Some of the negatives are inevitable results of scaling up as much as Apple has.
Generally, I think it's positive for Apple's bottom line, and ever so slightly negative for the consumer. The fact it isn't more negative toward the consumer is a minor miracle, and a testament to Ahrendts and all involved in Apple stores.

I think she's doing a decent job. I haven't noticed many changes, either positive or negative, at my local stores.
Ahrendts has tweaked parts of Apple's retail "software" by changing employee t-shirts to a softer material, and removing lanyards so employees "make a human connection" with customers.

Prior to the 1960s, most people did not smile when photographed. If you smiled in a photo, people thought you were crazy. It's still that way in many parts of the world. You smile, you crazy.Never trust a closed lip smile.

I go to Apple stores to either look at and try out products, buy stuff or get stuff repaired. Not sure how to relate to anything of what she says in this video. Does this really resonate with anyone? "Building a relationship" – "No different than fashion" – "you trust what we're teaching you" – "someone you trust to make a better version of yourself" – Really?I have an idea why people hate her so much, but I’m not gonna say what I suspect that reason is.
Moving along...
I think Angela’s done a ****ing fantastic job with Apple Retail. I love the new motif of the stores (light, trees, materials...), and I’ve had better service with Apple in the last year than I’ve ever had with them.
She seems to really care about the experience, and I appreciate that about her. Apple has always been based on the “experience.” (The stores, unboxing, usage, etc.) I’m glad to see her attempt to bring some of that magic back in-store
Kudos to Angela. I would love her as CEO.

It is a really annoying phrase however much of the media is untrustworthy.

Let me see. A redesign of some emojis. New softer t shirts. Sacred tables. $17/hr wages for worker drones. Not a computer in sight. Welcome to the new Apple.
