Tim will ship it — then roll out fixes over the next 5 updates.

I remember the roasting Steve Jobs got on here too.Antennagate shipped and wasn’t fixable.
Maybe I should ask Grok and mention I’m of Eastern European heritage? 😏You have all the chatbots on your phone already... Apple is gonna be fine. Tim Cook knows what he's doing and next year you can ask Siri when your mom's flight arrives and who you met at that party last month.
Ah yes, Antennagate. The one thing you could reach for — from 2010.Antennagate shipped and wasn’t fixable.
Steve famously said to not hold the phone that way. I remember all the posts on here roasting him during that time. I still bought an iPhone 4, plus got the free case too.Ah yes, Antennagate. The one thing you could reach for — from 2010.
Steve Jobs owned it. Addressed it personally. Gave everyone free bumpers. And the iPhone 4 still became a cultural juggernaut.
You know what he didn’t do? Blame the user and ship five updates pretending it was fine.
I thought everyone cheered for Tim turning off Siri recording everything on your device to help in its development. Personally, I’m happy Siri is confused.Meanwhile under Tim:
– Siri’s still confused in 2025
Describe half-baked? It was pretty understandable they wanted to dip their toe in the space and see what kind of consumer was interested in the device. It was never intended to be a low cost option, but I suspect Vision and other wearables are coming in the future that aren’t going to be $3500z– Vision Pro launched half-baked for $3500
Yes, it did vanished and Eddy Cue explained why too.– AirPower vanished
It was winded down, but all of it was rumors and Apple never officially announced it to the public. It was a project that Steve Jobs thought of in 2008, but Tim Cook formalized in 2014.– Project Titan ghosted
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 Pro
Maybe. But apple is very behind.
And that strategy didn’t work with Microsoft’s phone platform.
Nor did it work for nokia or RIM (blackberry) who had huge market shares and very loyal customers.
Ah, the "actually, that failure was fine" defense.Steve famously said to not hold the phone that way. I remember all the posts on here roasting him during that time. I still bought an iPhone 4, plus got the free case too.

Your first link just cited lack of apology for Maps as the reason for departure.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.

Forstall's firing reportedly met with 'quiet jubilation' at Apple | AppleInsider
Employees at Apple are said to be extremely satisfied with the ouster of iOS software chief Scott Forstall, who had apparently worn out his welcome at the company.appleinsider.com
Scott Forstall and Jony Ive refused to attend each other’s meetings
www.networkworld.com
Forstall’s team was “particularly insular” and showed little to no interest in making improvements in iOS that would benefit the products from other teams within Apple. Perhaps it’s quite telling that when news of Forstall’s departure made the rounds at Apple, many on the iOS software team reportedly reacted with quiet jubilation.
Bloomberg also quotes 21 year Apple veteran Brett Halle – who worked on operating systems while at Apple – as saying that Scott wasn’t particularly interested in “melding” iOS and OS X together. “He just didn’t care,” said Halle.
The iOS App Store model started with Steve Jobs, and the idea of a 30% cut had already existed way before (with Nintendo). I suppose one can argue that Tim Cook should have seen the writing on the wall and taken preemptive steps to reduce anti-trust pressure (eg: not be so sticky about steering, exempt non-gaming apps from the 30% cut, open up more permissions).Isn’t Tim Cook one of the reasons the DMA exists in the first place?
Say hello to actual features and very very useful multitasking that you've been lacking since the dawn of iphoneApple should definitely consider an overhaul. Tim may be a good operation guy but he is far behind the guys like Nadella.
Tim’s milk-customers-like-cow strategy has finally worn me out and I am switxhing to Galaxy Fold 7 after using iPhone from 3G until 15.
You suffer from the Mandela effect. Steve Jobs only introduced two “revolutionary” products in 30 years, the Mac and the iPhone.
why on earth would that happen?
even the titanium iPhones are mostly aluminum on the inside, that is far, far from the most costly component.
and this is why these comment sections are not where Apple should be picking their new CEO from lol.
imagine being the CEO and suggesting something like “ you know, just dropped the phone by $500. Just… Drop it. Make what was $1200 today $700 tomorrow… and watch the company crash.”
There once was a company called BlackBerry...Apple’s biggest risk is that like 60% of profit comes from the iPhone. If something else better comes along, that could Apple to struggle.
