Tim Cook made a huge achievement for apple. Personally those sports figures are as overpaid as some people claim Tim Cook is. They still work for corporations who are overpaying them.
Got a tip for us?

Timmy didn’t do this on his own. Do all the workers who achieved this also get a big bonus?
Last time I checked there was some discrepance with Apple Store workers.
Lebron James doesn’t do it in his own either. Last I looked there were a bunch of other players in the court. As well as some pay discrepancies. Do all players get lebrons’ earnings?
So your point is a straw man.
At any rate good for Tim. While we’re here with witty repartee trying to win one pretzel logic comment after another, Mr. Cook is making bank.

Would rather he releases some real good value for money products. I don’t ask for innovation to him anymore. Just good updates to the existing line to not have it to look that pale when comparing it. Would also be nice when he didn’t spread just a processor update throughout the year. All Macs and iPad at once. It’s just a processor update 😉
Oh, but they will deny it. With a straight face and an angry retort.
Let's not forget Juan Soto who spurned the Yankees offer to sign with the Mets for $5 mil more for a grand total of $785 million
How you call the cost to upgrade to more RAM or bigger SSD drive? Rip off or Apple tax?
Im busy right now. Let it schedule an appointment if its urgent.
To put Tim Cook's salary into perspective, Elon Musk's Tesla-only total compensation package on a yearly basis dwarfs Cook's by 60 times. Cook = $75 million and Musk = $4.5 Billion.
Elon Musk's base salary (if his package was delineated that way but it isn't) would see him being paid $11,000 a minute, $660,000 an hour, $5,280,000 a day, $26,400,000 a week, $105,600,000 a month and $1,267,200,000 a year. The rest of his $4.5 billion comes from stock options, bonuses, and fringe benefits.
Tesla stockholders have voted to give Elon a raise to the equivalent of $5.5 billion a year. There are about 30 countries whose GDP is less than Elon Musk's yearly total compensation package.

Regardless of how people feel about what Cook earns, almost everything he has earned will no doubt be donated to charities / worthy causes when he dies. The guy lives pretty simply.
no inovation rewarded, Tim Apple has ruined Apple
Apple Store workers are way different than engineers building products and software. Apple Store employees make an average of $20/hr to do essentially nothing. They have little training and just direct people around for service and support. The products sell themselves compared to 15 years ago when Apple was trying to sell every computer they could.
that'd be base salary, even if tim cook took up that deal he'd still earn 71M in 2024.
First of all, it was a question. Second, if you had have read a couple of lines down, I added a link from the EU itself.
So how did I not walk the walk? Falsely accusing me of lying is not gunna fly.
So that discounts that Spotify could have leveraged it's position in a self diagnosed perceived, and corrupt EU that they could not have gotten specific gains from that corruption?Well… the USA ranks higher than most European countries on the corruption list.
U.S. fails to improve its standing in fight against corruption
Meyers is executive editor of The Fulcrum. The United States has done little to improve its battle against public-sector corruption in recent years, according to Transparency International, which measures experts’ perception of corruption around the world. For the second year in a row, the U.S...thefulcrum.us
Oh, look over there!! Not gunna work @HJM.NL
I'm actually not sure they did. I'm pretty sick of "people with knowledge of the project say..." Unless someone actually in Titan comes out and says something, and I suspect we will know later in life when Cook becomes somewhat reflective.
But I don't actually know how far they got, whether its was in some kind of build phase, or it was purely software.
I'm not saying Titan was a complete success, but I would suggest the Research they developed will propel them forwards further than if they didn't have it.
Why do you believe that? Is there a genuine basis for such a claim. Or is it just a opinion based on feelings against Sir Ive

Apparently I am an Apple Apologist. I think the Apple Tax for upgrading is beyond stupid.
Oh here we go. Starting to call people names. Yet here you go (link above and below) where you called me an Apple Apologist.
Wasn't you who said:
Why are people starting to get all nasty of a sudden? I simply replied to the post. None of it was nasty, all of it was relevant. You don't have to start getting personal.
Maybe people should calm down and have a reasonable discussion.
He was worth about $10-11B when he died. I think he did all right.
How?
It's called business and nothing more. There's nothing nefarious going on and the conspiracy theories thrown around here and elsewhere have no basis in reality or any merit to them.
It's a theme on here. Having a meritorious claim or even having a basis for their comments don't seem to be a part of the modus operandi.
I do have to concede though, that the prices are not anything I see as reasonable. But absolutely, if people are willing to pay and they have the metric right, then maybe it's worth it for them. I am sure they have done the math and for the number of upgrades & profit from that, it outweighs lowering the price and getting more sales.
If people can demonstrate lowering the price will increase the number of profits over keeping them high, then I am sure Apple will make an adjustment. But they just keep whining without backing it up.
However, maybe there are other things at play. Unless we are high in management at Apple, we simply won't know.
I didn’t say it even suggest it’s the norm, but the point is people in all walks of life get paid with large salaries. And for people to say he didn’t deserve it, than do these people deserve it?
