It's amazing how angry some people get at someone who's being nice.
Cook has done an amazing job running Apple. He may not be a product visionary but he doesn't need to be in order to be a successful CEO.
He’s a visionary with a different style than Jobs.If only that were true....

Racist towards who, the whites?
Yeah, absolutely, but these are not working at apple. But on average - no, and this is only speaking about economic background without taking latent racism into account.
And since capitalism is diminishing class crossing and education is getting more expensive, it's going to get worse and not better in that regard.
Also, racism towards white people
Sculley. did not turn Apple into a Trillion Dollar company. Think whatever you want about Apple's products, but in terms of success, Tim has made Apple the most money. And in the world that we live in, money is most importantTim Cooked will go down as the worst CEO in Apple History, causing even more damage than John Sculley.
Sculley had everyone bamboozled for 10 years. Cooked did more damage in less time.
In a word, yes. It was an unnecessary thing to remove. I often listen to music as I lie in bed and thus I am charging my phone. Why should I get some 3rd party y-connector so I can charge and listen at the same time? Who cares it is older technology and took up space. They're clever people I am sure they can find a way to make it work as someone on YouTube already did.Because you miss the headphone jack? Please.
In 2019, image is extremely important. Jobs would not get away with half the stuff that he is rumored to have done and said to his team.Having spent a few years in Silicon Valley, and having met Cook at a few functions, I can tell you I am less than impressed by the tech industry's social justice "talk" for the sake of image. I've yet to see a company that backs up its talk with honest action. Remember Google's "Don't be evil"? What a crock of crap.
Apple has strayed from its core due to putting politics and fantasized image ahead of business. Jobs had his causes, but I never really noticed it creeping into the company's culture as much as Cook's tenure.
If what another poster here said is true, that Cook's days are numbered, I for one will not lament his departure. It's past time to move on and go back to what Apple was best known for -- Innovation and the Spirit of Invention.
I actually believe the opposite. He is a ceo not a deity. And his energy and enthusiasm show in the financials at Apple.Tim is a sad and confused man. He loves to lecture America on what “good values” are yet turns a blind eye to Chinese oppression of Hong Kong and muslims.
Is capitalism diminishing class crossing? I came from a very poor background but have worked my way in to what I would consider a very comfortable life. My in-laws arrived in Australia from refugee camps in Malaysia and the Phillipines with only the clothes on their backs and have worked themselves to be multi millionaires.
I can only speak about the UK and Australia but university attendances are at record numbers despite increasing costs, when I was 18 it was actually free yet the numbers have gone up.
Are you suggesting it’s impossible to say something racist about white people? My wife (not white) had a much more privileged upbringing than I (white) with a lot more advantages.
I understand why people talk about white privilege but it’s a very blanket statement that you would never get away with saying about other groups and doesn’t reflect reality in my opinion.
Amazon phone? We tried that, and it DID NOT WORK... At ALLTim has been successful, but only because he rode the coattails of SJ and the average rank and file worker at Apple - who, up until his point have kept Apple moving forward (albeit, at a very slow pace). He rung out every one of SJ's last ideas and now the chamois is dry and stiff as a board. He has done nothing for the company except lobby and showcase his hypocrisy. It's plain to see he only pursues causes that not only benefit and interest Apple shareholders, but himself. The former is expected, the latter is disgusting.
He has done a slam-dunk job of pulling the wool over the eyes of the board and convinced them he's doing anything less than a fantastic job. He's a terrible leader and I can only hope Apple realizes this and finds some real leadership talent to make them Apple again. Maybe they know he's awful and just have no one to replace him? That's my hope. If they remove him without an amazing replacement, the stock will tumble 30%.
I scoffed a bit at Amazon in 2014 when they started to push their Fire TV and Alexa devices. Now my house is filled with Amazon tech, and they are killing it. If they come up with a better phone, it could be trouble for Apple.
Apple is a huge business, they can't just stay silentCan he just give it a rest for once? Apple should be a lot more focused on technology and less focused on gender identity, sexuality and political issues.
Apple Watch was not in development, also AirPods with W1 chip, huge advancements in processors, 3D/force touch. There has been so many things, you just choose to ignore them.This should be stapled on every shareholder's head.
What exactly has he come up with that's new?
The iPhone? Already there.
The iPad? Already there.
The Macbook? Already there.
The Mac? Already there.
iTunes Music? Already there.
The Apple Watch? Already in development.
Spec bumps, emojis, and accessories don't count as invention.
Thin sides, glass back with metal frame, grid of icons, its all still thereThat, plus the iconic iphone/iOS design. Nothing like the crap we have today.

The Apple Watch — Tim Cook. Not in development until after Jobs’ death.
What's wrong with that? i'd buy one.What's next? A rainbow coloured iphone sold as LGBT® Product?
The idea a MacBook Pro is thin and light weight is just as stupid. If you want a thin laptop get an Air.
The apple of 2008-2012:Who is the most appropriate to take the steering wheel, by your opinion?
I really cannot stand all these "Tim, leave" shouts, while no one is suggesting any adequate replacement.
I want Scott Forstall to return.
Actually, leaving China altogether would be turning a blind eye to the oppression. That is what would happen if he opposed China's law. We haven't seen anything yet. These protest riots are a small harbinger of what is to come in China. Apple (and Tim) will be called upon to truly defy China's will and that's when we will see a major turn of events. I just hope Apple makes the right move at the right time to send the right message to the entire world.Tim is a sad and confused man. He loves to lecture America on what “good values” are yet turns a blind eye to Chinese oppression of Hong Kong and muslims.
