Apple CEO Tim Cook Will Move His Office to Apple Park

[thisisnotmyname]

I personally think Xcode running on an iPad Pro would be very interesting.

Attaching a debugger to a process is likely impossible but I don't see any reason you couldn't port the editor and compiler across.

 

[IJ Reilly]

Sure, he's going to move in. He'll get the biggest corner office.

Spotted April 2017: Tim Cook pushing cart full of boxes across Cupertino.

Where is Woz park?

Trivia!

How many apple trees in Apple Park?

 

[weup togo]

the real story will be about the thousands of people who won't have offices when they move

but hey, who wouldn't want to work on a park bench

 

[ThomasJL]

This is a smart move by Tim Cook. He doesn't deserve to be in the same building where Steve Jobs once served as CEO.

Trivia!

How many apple trees in Apple Park?

Good question. From what I know of the original landscaping plans, they wanted to plant trees that are native to that region. Not sure if there are apple varieties that would be native to the region.

 

[Naraxus]

he's probably going to leave his mac pro behind

He's already left the Mac Pro behind going on six years now.....

Aside from your flippant remark,

Those thousands of employees are not at executive level. They're employees that are based and scattered throughout the company, where they have their own specific section where they work in a cubicle or slotted area for what ever Department they work in.

Executive level or supervisory position typically has an office Of their own, where they have dozens, if not hundreds of employees underneath them. So why would that equate to them having their own office? That doesn't make sense.

Can't wait for footage of the first drone Cook office flyby.

 

[macs4nw]

They can make the old campus into a museum showcasing what the company used to be.....

Good one!

Second spaceship campus? What was the first?

It will be Tim and an iPhone in that office making sweet-sweet lovin' while the jilted Mac Pro serves an uneaten dinner at home.

Brings new meaning to the term "lightning port"...

Second spaceship campus? What was the first?

It's more along the lines of "Apple's second campus, which also happens to be spaceship-shaped".

 

[MH01]

I thought that was a given. It's the new HQ

 

[dave2010]

Steve Jobs started this. I picture the original design as a panopticon with him in the centre seeing all.

 

[CarlJ]

So when will Apple Park 2 be released? I'll wait to move into that one so they can work out all the kinks in the first one.

Please, please, do not quote the entire article. It's already conveniently available to all of us at the top of the thread, we don't need another copy.

Maybe this has been covered already, but didn't Steve Jobs' office stay intact purposely after his passing, at 1 Infinite?

Though probably something private, my guess is that office still stays intact, but wouldn't surprise me if they've made one for him at the new building too, even with the various other tributes and sanctuaries etc that have been constructed in and for his memory.

I didn't know it did. I just hit the reply button and on my end, it shows up as a little snippet inside a box that has to be manually expanded if you want to see it all.


The view from my end.

No.

Apple's Silicon Valley employees are spread through many office complexes in the Cupertino/Sunnyvale area. What Apple Park does is allow core engineering to inhabit the same building, namely iPhone hardware engineering, iOS software engineering, Mac hardware engineering, and macOS software engineering. That comprises 85% of Apple's revenues.

Other likely Apple Park groups would be the hardware and software groups for Apple Watch and Apple TV. Despite their low current revenue, these groups are highly connected to the iOS/macOS environment. Others on different rumor sites seem to think similarly.

What will close down will be dozens of satellite campuses strewn all over Cupertino and Sunnyvale. The spaces vacated at 1 Infinite Loop (and other nearby buildings) will be repopulated with people from these auxiliary campuses.

I doubt if Apple will ever leave 1 Infinite Loop. It is very near the buildings where Apple got its start, the Mariani Avenue area.

This is understandably difficult for someone from Melbourne, Australia to understand, but if you grew up in Silicon Valley and watched Apple's growth, it would be pretty obvious.

I'm a bit curious how a tweet from Owen Thomas becomes a fait accompli. He is not a reliable tech blogger and at one time had the reputation of making T-I-H-S up to generate page views for his long dead trash outlet Valleywag (a former property of scumbag Nick Denton's now fallen Gawker Media empire). As far as I can tell, anything Owen Thomas writes is highly dubious, like DigiTimes.

No at all hard to understand, but thanks for the detailed explanation...

 

[niun]

Wait, wait, wait a moment.. Didn't Cook say this Apple Park was a place for inspiration and innovation?

Well that's that fecked then.

 

[JetLaw]

Breaking update: Unlabled Apple petit cash transaction rumored to be bubble wrap for Tim's big move to the new office.

I'm sorry, MR, but this was a ridiculous article to publish. You're adding meaningless noise to your own signal. Apple says "no" to many suggested products; so should you.

I read somewhere that the iCloud team will take over IL.

Realistically there's no need even for that to simply make a post in the thread.
