Please reconsider, Tim! This would be a GREAT time for you to retire and you would be so much happier, I'm sure. Okay, I would be so much happier, but that counts, too, right??!!
She's one of the biggest entertainers at the moment. Tim doesn't care about talking tech as much as getting as many as much publicity for this interview as possible. Honestly, I don't know that Tim is even a tech guy as much as a business leader/figurehead at Apple.Of all the people to sit down with why her? He’d be better off with…well…a journalist…ideally from a tech background like Zoe Thomas or Mark Gurman.
Steve chose his successor from Scott Forstall and Tim Cook at the time.
Let's guess the list of successors this time
Don't you? I feel like errbody has a podcast these days.Why does Dua Lipa have a podcast?
I'm not even sure who this Dual Hippo person is.Why does Dua Lipa have a podcast?
Heck, If I was to spend a hour with someone I would pick Dua Lipa over Zoe Thomas or Mark Gurman too.Of all the people to sit down with why her? He’d be better off with…well…a journalist…ideally from a tech background like Zoe Thomas or Mark Gurman.

A real journalist might have asked some akward questions, like for instance, why is Apple taking the pee out of it's customers, with upgrades almost good enough, but not quite 😏
This was just a virtue signalling PR interview, of which Tim is doing more and more of.
Having said that, he's done well for Apple, just not so well for the customers.
Pretty much all of Apple's success during Tim Cook's tenure can be directly attributed to Steve Jobs. The only good things to come from Apple which arguably weren't part of Steve's plans were a few Apple TV+ shows and the transition of the Mac over to ARM. But even those arguably started under Steve.
But you left out my favorite machine of all time, the 12" PowerBook G4.Steve Jobs was Apple's CEO from 1997-2011. During that tenure we got:
In other words:Steve Jobs was Apple's CEO from 1997-2011. During that tenure we got:
- iMac
- MacBook
- MacBook Pro
- MacBook Air
- Mac Mini
- Mac Pro
- iPod
- iPod Nano (including one that could be worn on the wrist, a Mickey Mouse clock face, integration with Nike shoes and a step counter.)
- iPhone
- iPad
- Final Cut Pro
- Lightroom
- iWork (Pages/Keynote/Numbers)
- iLife (iPhoto/Garage Band/iWeb/iTunes/iMovie/iDVD)
- iCloud
- macOS
- iOS
- Transition from PPC to Intel
- Apple TV
- iOS App Store
- iOS In-App Purchases
- Siri
In other words:Tim Cook has been Apple's CEO for nearly as long - over 12 years. Surely he's got a list 80% as long and about as high quality, right?
- Mac Studio
- iMac Pro (no wait, that was already cancelled)
- AirPods
- Apple Watch (no wait, that's just a rebranding of the iPod Nano)
- Transition from Intel to ARM
- AirTag (stalkers rejoice!)
- Air Power (no wait - oops)
- Apple TV+
- Home Pod (basically Siri unchanged from 2011, but now without the benefit of a touchscreen!)
- Acquired Beats
- Apple Pencil (remember how firm Steve was about saying they'd never make a stylus? Tim Cook decided what Steve actually meant was that Apple wouldn't make a stylus that wasn't 20x as expensive as any other.)
Pretty much all of apples success under Tim Cook can be attributed to Tim Cook.Pretty much all of Apple's success during Tim Cook's tenure can be directly attributed to Steve Jobs.
In other words the most ground breaking revolution being apple silicon was significantly downplayed. I’m going to upplay it.The only good things to come from Apple which arguably weren't part of Steve's plans were a few Apple TV+ shows and the transition of the Mac over to ARM.
No they didn’t.But even those arguably started under Steve.
No need for Tim Cook to sit down with Mark Gurman as he could just write about how an interview with Tim Cook would go using his Power On newsletter. He'd tell us how Tim Cook would respond to his questions with 100 percent accuracy... just like his future Apple product predictions. 🤣Of all the people to sit down with why her? He’d be better off with…well…a journalist…ideally from a tech background like Zoe Thomas or Mark Gurman.
