Yeah, I've heard that. I've never tried it. It just makes me feel like I might be mistaken for stealing the stuff. Last thing I bought I didn't even have my iPhone with me and I just paid with the watch though. That was also pretty cool.
Why isn't Google hiring you? Why aren't you so much more successful than them if you're so qualified to criticize them?
These are simply the same questions you asked of Apple critics.
Obviously, the only people who are allowed to criticize Google are people who own companies that are much more successful than Google.
That's going to be a very short list.
I see that you deliberately took out the last sentence in the quote to get rid of the context. I'm not the one who thinks things like that and I'm using his own words to argue against what he said, which was this:
That was in place before she came on board with Apple
[doublepost=1452380292][/doublepost]Angela Ahrendts received 391,634 shares worth $50 million. Meanwhile employees have to wait 3 years to get $1K worth of shares. Seems about right.
No wonder there so freaking happy at the keynotes!
Apple CEO Tim Cook's compensation for fiscal 2015 was $10,281,327, according to a newly released SEC filing. That breaks down to a salary of $2 million, non-equity incentive compensation of $8 million, and other compensation of $280k. Cook earned approximately $1 million more than he did in fiscal 2014, when he brought in $9.2 million.
Last year, with stock awards and hiring bonuses, Apple retail chief Angela Ahrendts earned $73 million, but in 2015, her compensation was $25.8 million, in line with other Apple executives, all of whom received $20 million in stock awards and $4 million in non-equity incentive compensation in addition to their $1 million salaries.
Senior executives Bruce Sewell, Dan Riccio, Eddy Cue, and Luca Maestri all earned more than $25 million in 2015, numbers that do not include restricted stock units that vested in 2015. Over the course of the year, Tim Cook received 560,000 shares of stock worth over $57 million, Angela Ahrendts received 391,634 shares worth $50 million. Eddy Cue, Dan Riccio, Bruce Sewell, and Luca Maestri also had shares worth between $11 million and $38 million vest.
Under the guidance of Tim Cook, Apple had another record year, generating $233.7 billion in sales, an increase of 28 percent over 2014 and a new high for the company. Earnings per diluted share were at $9.22, up 43 percent from 2014. According to its October forecast, Apple expects to continue its record earnings streak into 2016, with projected revenue between $75.5 and $77.5 billion for the first quarter of 2016.
Apple will announce its earnings for the first fiscal quarter of 2015 on Tuesday, January 26. MacRumors will provide live coverage of both the earnings release and the conference call.

Absolutely! And they should be replaced by MacRumor posters according to their hatred-o-meter and post count ratio.
I would replace Cue with three kindergarteners (they can't do much worse of a job), move Ive to hardware only, get someone qualified to do the software... and obviously replace Cook at his post myself. My post count isn't that high but I'm ambitious.
She had to leave vesting stock on the table at Burbury when she joined Apple, that's why she got that; this is to compensate for this loss money. Got that.
She didn't have to do so and Apple didn't have to offer it. They both chose this option as her compensation. It was a choice by both sides to agree to that amount. Its Apples right to choose how they value their employees.
Considering the vast profits Apple makes, I think its disgusting that their "Geniuses" are so underpaid.
Almost as bad as the people on here posting "If they don't like it, then get another job".
If I was CEO of a company making the profits Apple make, I would invest in my retail staff. Make it their one and only job. Make it so desirable so they would never want to leave. Turn it from a "job" into a "career".

Next you're going to say you'd make 32 GB the base iPhone option!
That's how Apple make their billions. And they're not unique in doing so. It's just that we want Apple to be different. But they're not. They are a stockholder driven company that makes products for the capitalist market with the sole goal of making money. And before anybody says Steve would be different, remember how Steve divided the Atari bonus with Woz.

iPhone 5C did not fail, Apple Watch did not fail (remember, it's a first generation product), New MacBook was also a first generation product, Magic Mouse 2 is an accessory, and people in general don't line up to buy a new mouse, iPhone battery case, I will admit, was not very good looking, but it's been attributed to the fact that Mophie had a copyright or something on the good design, but it was still an accessory, iPad Pro cover was another accessory, and was probably just an example for third parties anyway, iPhone 6/Plus/S did not fail, and even though some people weren't fans of the lines, most either liked them, didn't care, or put on a case, and the new iOS/OS X/watchOS/tvOS design is beautiful if you ask me, that's just your opinion and you happen to be in the minority there. They have to cut production by 30% because people in general don't usually upgrade their devices every year, and they still sold a ton of iPhones. Again, them "misusing their powers" and whatnot is your opinion, and you're in the minority. I find that Apple's done great lately, and even though I miss Steve Jobs too, I do appreciate what Tim Cook and the team have done with Apple. Every company is interested in numbers, and you know what you need to have to get numbers? Great products, which they have, and which is why they're getting numbers. And sure, Apple being worth $1T would be pretty awesome, it still wouldn't be the first company to do so, a Chinese oil company did it a few years ago. Apple's products are certainly not cheaply designed, they have a modern/futuristic design, using high-end, quality materials. They literally engineered a new kind of aluminum for Apple Watch and iPhone 6S/Plus to make them both super strong, and beautiful at once. Jony doesn't own Apple, but he is the lead designer, which is a very important job, and he's doing it great. If we took all of those away, we'd end up with trash, ugly products, and it'd be Apple after Steve Jobs left for NeXT all over again.
