Sadly, nothing will change here. After a couple months it will be the same "Wah... Apple doesn't innovate anymore."
Basically ignoring the 1+ Billion happy/repeat customers (the final arbiters of a company's success) who love Apple products and propelling the company to being one of the most successful consumer tech companies in the world.

Thank you Tim !
On Tim Cook’s first day as CEO, Apple stock was about $12.30 per share on a split-adjusted basis; today it is about $270.23 per share.
That means the share price has grown by about $257.93 per share, or roughly 21x since his start date.

No chance. They are making money hand over fist doing what they are doing. Ternus isn't going to fix what isn't broken.

its not all about money its about making better products
This explains the folding phones and flip flip phones and iPhone 18 getting worse features. We are seeing big changes behind the scenes but i predicted a while ago iPhone sales will drop. The fold is a poor product and will be way too expensive and lack of 2026 standard iPhone will see sales go flat!

Jobs wasn’t flawless.
Cook was a decent pick to drive revenue but awful at driving innovation, products, and customer satisfaction.

You mean less focus on the areas of their business that are huge money makers??? Lol.

Wonder how long it'll take for the first angry "He's Ternus a new one with these prices!!!!!! This would have never happened if Tim Cook were still in charge" comment on MacRumors 😂

See you all in a couple years when you're all saying "I miss Tim".
A lot of… let’s say disappointing responses. Cook became COO on October 14, 2005. One of the best and most important executives of all time. He made a lot of people very wealthy, and not just Apple employees. A personally pioneering one as well.
Does this mean we’ll finally get some ballsy, new daring products instead of trying to appease the shareholders nonstop with boring stale products?

I love mine too and firmly believe the Vision Pro is like the very first Macintosh: not a success at all, but the beginning of something that'll be amazing ten years from now.
