But for others to make petty comments about someone they have had zero interaction with and throw judgment based off nothing is uncalled for.

I don't have any stats. I personally think original content is a really dumb choice, but I do believe it will be unique, if not bad. If they do some sort of channeling through Apple Music subscribers then I don't think it'll be a fail. Opinions on the content will be hit or miss though, I'm sure.
They can both stay there as far as I'm concerned. Then maybe Apple can get a CEO in who won't let parts of their product lines languish in purgatory for eons, will actually make sure their products aren't obsolete on arrival and won't push into areas such as original content with asinine garbage like "Planet of The Apps"

Do tell what Eddy Cue has brought to the table. I'll wait. As for Cook, letting a product line languish in purgatory for 5 years isn't "throwing judgement based off nothing". Cook is a bean-counter CEO and nothing more and Cue is incompetent.
You must be new here. On MacRumors the sole reason to comment is to take a dump on Apple, its products, its executives, or its customers. Apple haters/critics far outnumber fans on this site. Known fact.
Well that proves my point in post number 25. Aside from your personal anguish with Apple, your snide comments against Cook/Cue has zero relevance to what their capabilities and responsibilities are within the company are. But continue to make sweeping generalizations if that makes you feel better.

Been frequenting this website for just a year now and really enjoy it. There is negativity and they're always will be. But there's also those who try to instill positivity and see the brighter side of things with Apple and reflect on the positive changes, without allowing their hate towards Apple affect their personal lives. It's not a way to live.

I guess he has been there in the 80s or 90s but hasn't ben there in many many years before he died.
He was always invited but didn't show up.

Tim's gym game is strong. Also, Bezos showed up in shape too. These guys are twice my age and hitting the gym twice as hard too! I need to get after it...
Because he had more important things to do like helping create amazing products. Being CEO of Apple is one long holiday for Cook and his idiot sidekick Cue.
Yeah maybe they can get a CEO who could triple the value of the company since Steve Jobs' death!
Oh wait, Apple already has the guy who did that.
Apple was always going to grow whether it was with Tim or a squirrel running it.
It was setup to succeed by SJ.
Apart from Cooks divisive public political stances and his support for gay marriage, he hasn't done a single thing any other CEO of his paycheck couldn't have done.
Yes. Because Apple removes successful and rule-abusing apps. Amazon had nothing to do with it.

It wasn't set up by jobs... seriously people here don't understand anything.
Apple found a market that they could innovate and capture most of the market in. The saturation of the markets before jobs death has slowed down innovation. Pick an industry and its happened there.
He better be in good shape or else his boyfriend would leave him.
"The saturation of the markets...has slowed down innovation"???? Guess when horse and buggies saturated the market, they prevented cars! Guess when typewriters saturated the markets, they prevented computers. Guess when copiers saturated the market, they prevented personal printers. Amazing what you "understand."
You should research the news reports of Eddy trying (and failing) to build out a subscription video service for Apple. It's not just "snide comments" on MacRumors. It's a topic that's been widely reported over the last few years.
Maybe the extreme attribution of Apple's success to personal stardom plays a role, it seems they have the idea that their accomplishments in some way meet their stellar salaries.
At some point they did, but that's long ago (for Eddy Cue too long to remember)
It doesn't seem to come up to their borderliners' minds that their play-around "country-club" tenure doesn't fit anymore and the continuous show-off of their infinite luxury and wealth has lost every correlation with public expectations.
Humbleness, concentration and getting accomplishments are the core values to fulfill the enormous responsibilities they took themselves.
Their style (which all is so fabricated and false, that it stinks here on the other continent) is irritating ordinary, hard-working people and overcharged customers now to the extreme (you may confuse that with hatred, jealousy or whatever, but it has a slightly different angle...)
I would be the first to give these people a call (do you have their number?) or a mail to explain that, but they hide behind enormous corporate fences, PR walls, and spindocter agenda's - only to reinforce their perceived stardom
You may be opening your window to embrace that PR-circus, others are opening it to get a fresh breeze. Happy hiking.

AND his name is John Scully.
Let me explain.
When Steve left Apple in the 80s, their stock sky-rocketed and profits went through the roof.
John Scully was a great manager, a great operations guy, that's why Steve hired him, just like Tim Cook.
But he had no vision and no feel or passion for products. Which is why Apple after years of milking the Mac and Mac OS almost went bankrupt in the 90s. Because Scully was only focused on making money for stock holders and board members, but had no talent when it came to products and innovation.
Apple needs to keep Tim Cook as CEO he is a good business guy BUT they also need to hire something like a Product Guru, someone who can throw himself into the creative decision process at Apple, someone who ties all the different groups together. Cook is not the guy for that.
In the end that's exactly what Steve Jobs did again when he came back, he hired Cook, he needed someone to run the boring parts of the company and negotiate with suppliers etc, while he can focus on finding and cultivating the seeds for future products within Apples various teams.
That's what Apple post Steve Jobs needs, a Product Guru working under the CEO.
