If selling base model Macs that feel decently quick is not considered right, I suppose I do.

One person can't solve all the world's ills. Neither can one company. No amount of concern trolling will change that. If Cook fought every battle and issue out there, that's all he'd be doing. Apple and other companies have done a lot to improve the working conditions of their supply chains. There's no argument there. Is there more that can be still done? Sure. Unfortunately, it has to be balanced with other responsibilities as well. We don't live in a binary world where we have the luxury of concentrating on one thing to the exclusion of all others. Sometimes it's easy to concentrate on what someone hasn't done while overlooking what they already did.
I don't like everything he's done, but generally like Cook overall. He's definitely brought a sense of social responsibility to Apple that wasn't there before. He's also grown the company to profit heights not seen outside the banking/finance industry.
I personally do not hate Cook. Although, I really dislike the direction Apple has been heading under his leadership.
And before people start listing things in a reply, I never said I disliked everything Tim Cook or Apple has done, or not done. It is just the overall direction of Apple under Tim Cook is starting to feel like the next MS.
Lol, first thing I thought about was I wonder if he check MR before buying his Mac...until I realized who I'm looking at here.
About to post this. The phone definitely has a much thinner bezel than existing iPhones, unless it's an angle of photograph thing.
Glad I'm not the only one. I've just put my phone in a similar angle to see if it was this, but my iPhone 6S Plus bezels look considerably larger.
How is he one of the most influential person of all TIME other than using sexual orientation as a weapon to influence others. If it's security, I've failed to see how that was possible because I haven't seen much activity in that area lately.

Hm...
Isn't that what you did here exactly?
Someone is going to like him and someone is not.
Why does everyone always pick the pictures where he looks so grumpy? Tim is a great guy and I love what he has done with Apple.
The bottom bezel appears to be about 33% thinner compared to the current Plus. The device also isn't as rounded, and it appears thinner compared to the current model. Is the pictured iPhone also resting on a charging pad? Neat device. Will they call it the iPhone Pro?
Here is the link to the original image in case anyone can do a good analysis of the bezel size

After staring at the image for a while and comparing, I am pretty convinced that the iPhone pictured is 100% an unreleased iPhone. The bottom bezel is thinner, Touch ID sensor looks slightly more raised, to the right of the picture (as you see it) you can see some sort of button (don't know whether it's a reflection but the buttons almost look rounded) and most importantly THE WHITE ANTENNA bands are virtually non existent on the side of the iPhone!!!
Yup, Apple and Tim Cook in particular will certainly have one just out and around, especially when press is there and taking photos to be seen by millions upon millions.
Ha. Always one sarcastic optimist lurking in the background.

If you so sure of yourself can you explain why the antenna bands on the side are non existent? The iPhone clearly does not have a case which could be hiding them.
Profoundly wrong. Tech companies and their products are at the forefront of changing individual people's lives and even society. And tech corporations themselves are little societies on their own with hundred of thousands of employees crossing multiple states and countries. With such a huge reach and with their immense capital and political influences, they ought to be activists, not just "remain good at innovating in their labs" like mad scientists.
By the way I like how people talk about Apple as if they were not one of the most influential innovative companies in Silicon Valley. Sure their products might not appeal to you, but who else is SO MUCH MORE innovative than Apple to make them such a pathetic figure the way many of you paint them?
What's with the grim expression? He looks like someone who needs to eat an extra bowl of shredded wheat at breakfast.
