You?JC, is there anyone more boring and unoriginal than Tim Cook?
Just out of curiosity what’s in your opinion “is worth talking about”?Steve Jobs is long dead. Get over it, life & Apple has moved on. “What could have beens” aren’t worth the time to think about it.
He’s done a good job, though. Apple designing its own chips for its entire product line is totally in line with Steve Jobs’s vision. Apple Watch and AppleTV+ are new product/service lines but seem to fit well with the rest of the lineup.It must've been terrifying to receive the news that you are now in charge of Steve Jobs's legacy.
Especially when the man was your friend.
So, nothing? Just like I figured.Certainly not some long-dead ******* deadbeat parent
Tim Cook: awesome COO, trash CEO. He's a money man with a talent for logistics like few others, but he has zero creativity or imagination and never should have been placed at the top. Like Ive, Steve balanced him out, filling in the blanks and making a gorgeous whole, but the further and further he gets away from that influence with each passing year the more evident those missing pieces become.
German humor.On that headline pic.
Is Steve saying that Tim has a tiny wiener?
Steve Jobs picked Tim Cook as his successor and Tim made Apple bigger and stronger than Steve could possibly have dreamed of.Yes... I would find a billion dollars terrifying.
I don't believe for a single second Tim Cook cares at all about Steve Jobs. Job's name is simply a bullet point for him and I don't care how many memos he writes you'll never convince me otherwise.
Ive.. I believe 100%.
Ridiculous. Steve Jobs „allowed“ Apple Ping, Antennagate, Apple TV and many other very, very bad decisions.I have used Apple computers since I was kid, enduring the ridicule from my classmates who owned windows PCs. Now Apple is cool. Now Apple has peaked.
There will never be another Steve Jobs, and Tim Cook has and will never come close to filling his shoes. If Steve was around do you think he would have allowed Siri to be 3rd place? Would all the iPhones just be iterative updates? Hell no. He wouldn’t settle for this and he’d be an ******* tyrant if it meant getting **** done. Unfortunately, Apple’s best times are behind it.
I was doing to rebut this post, but then I read “more than 12X more valuable” and I laughed so hard I lost my train of thought.I'm sure if Steve Jobs was still here, we would be having great innovations (like much better iPhones rather than the stupid incremental updates in the past few years, and we'll probably already have the Apple Car because Steve would push for its release (unlike Timmy who keeps delaying the Car (now delayed to ~2025)). These huge innovations would make Apple even more valuable - more than 12X more valuable.
Damn, the Tim hate is real.
I disagreed with several of Tim Cook's unforgivably boneheaded decisions over the years, but I think overall he's done as good a job as can be done at Apple in the last ten years.
Apple is actually in a more enviable position now than it was when Steve Jobs was alive (granted, that house was built by Steve, but still).
Y'all forget how quickly the Apple ship started sinking and how close it came to the brink when Steve left Apple the first time.
The second time around, Steve made the right choice in his successor. Apple's future remains bright, in my opinion.
Tim has been able to learn from his mistakes and pivot the company quickly. Apple is still skating to where the puck is going to be, I think.
And the proof is in the financials, despite what the haters/"enthusiasts" think.
