No way, he is going to be there as a Chairman more money, more stocks, more voting rights and zero accountability. Don’t think TC is going to give up the pump position easily

I don’t mind John I’d rather it be him or Craig no matter what Keep Eddie cue the **** away from CEO the sheer ego that resonated off him when he used to appear on stage was so bad you can tell he walks around the campus thinking he is Apple and without him Apple doesn’t exist lol 😂
Should have been Johny Ive, he is the closest visionary to Steve jobs.
The past iPhones were pretty meh, nothing to be amazed about.

They could also be spending a lot of the day on decent wifi, without max brightness, and probably without bluetooth devices. Cell connectivity in particular chews through battery, but any radio use, including bt, does too, especially in crowded spectrum areas where it has to “shout” more to work (in radio he who shouts loudest wins
). For a lot of us the spectrum congestion around us, especially cell, eats a huge amount of power over the day.Screen brightness is another battery killer, keep it lower and you’ll save a ton of battery
Also *what* you use matters. Social media apps tend to be pretty heavy and resource hogs, so do websites with lots of poorly optimized js and/or lots of ads. If you use facebook in particular, browser or app, it will absolutely destroy battery life.
My wife only burns through about 60% of her 13 minis battery over the course of a normal day, she’s always on wifi, her job has nothing else around to crowd spectrum, she doesnt use social media much, at least compared to me, and when she does it’s not facebook (as I mentioned the biggest battery killer) and she doesnt like her phone bright.
So it’s definitely possible to use very little battery while using a cell the normal amount, a lot depends on where, when, and what your prefs are.
Milk the Mac for all it’s worth and get busy on the next great thing?
People that “miss Steve Jobs” don’t understand that the Mac is likely still around because he’s not there doing to it what he did to the Apple II. The world has a large number of people that don’t like Apple because of decisions he drove.
Steve may indeed have pushed out the Mac for something better!
Absolutely not what the bean counter has been up to.
Tim just coasting on the old laurels, tricks and schemes has run its course.
Not likely. Only if he were able to see what another company developed first. Him seeing Xerox PARCs (Palo Alto Research Center) mouse driven graphical user interface computer in their lab lead to Apple's Macintosh.
He did introduce a dozen or so computer flops on his own.
Not looking forward to having to unpair my xPhone iX from CarPlay because Siri Mk4-ÆX will only work in Volkswagens due to their pure heritage.
It could well be that Tim Cook will be remembered in the future as the guy that successfully helped Apple transition into the modern Apple Silicone era. And I say that as software guy; great s/w needs great h/w to run on.
After that transition stabilizes, "it's all just zeroes and ones" again for a while. That is until progress on ternary, or, less likely (IMHO), quantum, or something else entirely starts to create demand for hardware redesign.
Personally I think handing the ball to a software guy is the right move right now. And that guy will certainly be keeping an eye on changing / evolving hardware demands.

Gurman's article doesn't say that. It's just normal succession planning since the prior heir apparent is leaving. No indicators that Tim is going anywhere anytime soon.
I feel just like this. Love the idea of John Ternus as Next CEO, he has been the face of Apple's design turning around for the better, but not with what the "company" is wanting.
AI will kill and destroy life as people know it, has some very bad consequences attached to it, and I have no interest at all in any of that. Home automation is terrible because of the security and spying nightmare it is.
I just want Apple to build good computers and devices.
The software is where they need the most help. The OS needs to be able to be installed without the Internet once again and just needs the Apple Core Rot addressed and fixed. APFS needs proper data protection so bit rot doesn't seep in etc. The all new OS updates need to slow down to once every two years or more. And I could go on and on. But again, it is all software issues, other than the Mac Pro side of things.
