Agreed.Cook is good at improving profits
Can you elaborate? It seems the public likes to buy Apple products.and milking existing products.
Same as Steve.However his new stuff products do not always shine.
Not new.SIRI,
Not new.maps,
Steve has had his share of failures.the car,
Where does AI really shine? certainly not on any phone of today?
Yep.the glasses.
Maybe, in the future. But not now.Maybe Apple finally needs more of a technology minded person again?
Who would that be?I'd say some pioneer super user (Jobs style) plus hardware and AI background knowledge.
It hitches nail on the head. Have you seen apples revenue?The emotional side of predicting what product or software people will WANT to use and buy is underdeveloped today it seems.
👍This "avantgarde factor" Apple once had (breakthrough smaller sized, first time application of some technological innovation, devices much more capable, pioneering a new branch or genre, making things much easier to use, super elegant styling and such- however at a higher price).
Having said that I very much like the current MBP's M4 MAX perfection, typing on it.
Tim gave the customers what they wanted, so they bought more.😂 The fiend.😁Can you elaborate more about “Tim’s milk-customer-like-cow-strategy”?
I think iPhone design pace has slowed down as an example. The endless connectors chaos. The no home button no fingerprint reader behind the screen. The notch, ridiculous. So many lenses (except for the 16e). But the chips inside are quite good.Can you elaborate? It seems the public likes to buy Apple products.
Maybe. But apple is very behind.AI is just getting started. Apple has plenty of time. As usual it will arrive later with better.
"endless connectors?" They switched from Lightning to USB-C. Not sure what you're referring to here. Nothing wrong with multiple lenses either?I think iPhone design pace has slowed down as an example. The endless connectors chaos. The no home button no fingerprint reader behind the screen. The notch, ridiculous. So many lenses (except for the 16e). But the chips inside are quite good.
Isn’t Tim Cook one of the reasons the DMA exists in the first place?Find me a CEO willing to stand up to the DMA in no uncertain terms and that guy has my vote. 😏
He's not in the tech space at all because he was fired. I don't understand the point of your question.What is he doing in the Ai space right now?
Not one steered Tim in the correct direction with Siri/AIApple has several pioneering AI PhDs.
Source?Yeah, then you can kiss anything that isn’t the iPhone goodbye. He famously wanted to discontinue the Mac.
The article makes no mention of the billion dollar projects this CEO has spooled up and then later cancelled. Huge ones. Or that product categories were introduced and rarely updated. He doesn't mesh well with product and design leaders as evidenced by those who were fired or left the company.
Tim's best product is the stock. He inherited a freight train speeding into a valley of prosperity. His job was to keep the machine oiled and moving forward. With all that has gone on behind the scenes, I can't imagine this person staying for very long when the stock begins to slip as the trains momentum evaporates.
Maybe he'll quit when the AR glasses are released - if ever.
Quitting on project titan was a terrible mistake. CarPlay Ultra is an actual joke. As is Siri's inability to answer simple questions even with a phone that added massive hardware power to support it. As were the cancellations of the original Apple TV concept, AirPower, AirPort, Xserve... and the slow updates to the pro apps and hardware. FCP still has bugs from a release pushed over year ago with no update in sight.
Out of a 14 year stellar record you found a few things to hyperbolically criticize.The article makes no mention of the billion dollar projects this CEO has spooled up and then later cancelled.

Growth doesn't necessarily have to happen via increased market share but also expanding into different product areas. Or bothYou have to make up your mind. Either you claim that Apple will continue to grow at a significant rate (and for whatever reason conclude that all other arguments are irrelevant)
Or you take the view that Apple isn't even aiming for growth.
Obviously unlikely to happen unless Mr. Cook plans for it. Someone wants their 15 minutes of fame.This is what I've been saying! Although Apple really needs a customer focused CEO, because that's what makes a product good. Still, I'm glad people are starting to get it
There's a big difference between having an AI app and having AI integrated throughout the entire tech stack. The latter is much more powerful.Apple has a platform to run "AI" apps so why so Apple be at the forefront of AI? You come very far with a browser.
Four, actually. Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad. And that's just hardware. There were innovative apps that were also released during his tenure: iTunes, iWork, iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand, FCP, Logic ProYou suffer from the Mandela effect. Steve Jobs only introduced two “revolutionary” products in 30 years, the Mac and the iPhone.
How about I give you some sources. He wanted Mac development to fade and a focus directly on iOS devices (such as iPhone and iPad). Steve Jobs believe the Mac would fade, but Forstall wanted Apple to primarily make iOS based products and eventually leave the PC.Source?
