He wasn't in charge of Apple's ram, SSD, wheel and stand prices. /s

I can't find any USB-C flash drives. Most flash drives are still USB-A. If you find any that are USB-C, that would be great.Can you not carry usb-c flash drives? I don’t do your kind of work so I’m really asking.
Greed falls under the CEO. A CFO handles the cash flow generated by the greedy management decisions of the CEO.Ah, so Luca Maestri is the one to blame for Apple's greed, not Tim Cook. Maestri's the one in charge.

USB-A is an ugly reminder of a not-so-pleasant past. It becomes less relevant with each passing year as the hardware world moves on.As a Sys Admin, I totally agree. As a sys admin who has to use USB Flash Drives frequently, it is a soooooo annoying that I have to carry around a USB-A to USB-C adapter. Doesn't Apple have to use flash drives on their laptops? In their next redesign on their laptops, they should include a USB-A port...c'mon!
C'mon! These are external SSDs, not flash drives...These Samsung USB-C flash drives have been available for years, and are fast.
Took me about 5 seconds. You work in IT?I can't find any USB-C flash drives. Most flash drives are still USB-A. If you find any that are USB-C, that would be great.
C'mon! These are external SSDs, not flash drives...
I think I remember someone else moving on recently, too?Maestri doesn't want to have to deal with the EU/upcoming anti-trust stuff that will surely hit Apple come next year....he is moving on while he can...
I like the swiveling A/C Sandisk "Dual Drive" in citysnaps' list. I have several; one of them is important enough to have an AirTag keychain on it and has lasted for years.C'mon! These are external SSDs, not flash drives...
Maestri is not leaving the company and will lead the Corporate Services teams, including information systems and technology, information security, and real estate and development, where he will continue to report to Apple CEO Tim Cook.
When Jony left, we got an HDMI port and a SD card slot. I can go without USB-A but I must admit, I would like having one. You can certainly buy USB-C flash drives, but it doesn't mean everyone you interact with will do the same. Those haven't caught on at all. Ive was terrible for Apple design. I still hate having to reach around the back of my Mini to use a USB port. Why they can't do a SD card and USB-C on the front like the studio is beyond me. It's not like it's a $2000 premium to get ports on the front. The oldest computers in the world had everything in the front.The best macs they have made since Jobs passed been AFTER Ive left. The whole "thin at all costs" was making their devices useless in professional settings. I dont care how pretty a device is if I need 40 dongles. I'd easily pay an extra $250 to NOT have to carry and buy dongles.
Apple is calling it "planned succession". This guy is younger than Cook, a key player on why Apple is the richest company in the world, & has been grooming his successor for only months. Does not pass the smell test.
“I mean has Luca denied he was committing fraud? Until he denies he committed fraud, we just don’t know so therefore we must assume he committed fraud because he hasn’t denied it.”He should do like fake news:
“Anonymous sources”, “somebody close to…”, “according to experts”…
If the EU falls apart or breaks apart will any EU laws still apply??Maestri doesn't want to have to deal with the EU/upcoming anti-trust stuff that will surely hit Apple come next year....he is moving on while he can...
Agreed. Nice having a keyboard that isn’t crippled by a spec of dust as well. Ives can stay gone. Without Jobs there to reign in his ego, I couldn’t stand the direction the products were taking and his meddling with software design as well. Clearly out of his league on that, and the remnants remain.The best macs they have made since Jobs passed been AFTER Ive left.

I'm not sure it's exactly Jony Ive's fault. He's just an industrial designer, not an engineer. It's highly unlikely Ive wasn't involved in the way the switch itself works - he just wanted the device to be thin. And the butterfly vs. non-butterfly MacBook Pros for example don't have a difference in thickness. To me the new MBP design lacks the sexy the previous one had. I'm still keeping my work 2020 MacBook Pro even though I'm due for an upgrade from my job because I find the new ones super ugly and clunky and keep cutting my fingers on the sharp vents at the bottom when picking them up.Nice having a keyboard that isn’t crippled by a spec of dust as well.
