Apparently you missed the 1980s?

Lol--iterating like you read about. Keep doing you Tim Cook.Guess Nike plans to stop releasing new models for the next 3 years

Touchscreen-enabled running shoes? Unfortunately only includes non-removable Li-Po 1715 mAh batteries...
Nike shoes will only work with $100 Nike socks.
iOS shoelaces require a lightning port.
Rainbow colored soles in $500 Special Edition.
Insoles play a U2 song every mile you run.

He'll fit right in. Hoping he takes the time to visit one of their off shore Malaysian factories. I got a tour once, I stopped buying Nike products after seeing the deplorable working conditions, the overpowering odor of glue gave me a serious headache.
I have read all the silly post on this thread. The only question here is what is his new role mean? He has been on the board for a while so I dont think him still being on the board changes anything. If you dont like tim, this is not a reason to like him less. If you like tim, this is not a reason to like him more.
If someone can explain what the hell his new independent director role is, then we can argue if he is fit or qualified for that.

They whizz around in luxurious corporate jets that have the carbon foot print of a small African country.
They should rename this site to "angrygeekswhothinktheyarecomedianesbutarenotactuallyfunny.com"
I guess I just need to read the stories and stay out of the comments. Most of them suck now.

Total shareholder returns are what count - share price gains and dividends.....couldn't care less about most admired. Most admired by whom? A bunch of journos or other overpaid, underperforming execs? Or non-shareholders perhaps?
All that cash (profit by the way is irrelevant, it can be manipulated in the accounts, only cash is king) and yet so few new desirable, innovative, cash-generating products............

Sadly I think you are right, but that's the problem. Too many accountants and second rate people in charge of companies that could be so much more if only true leaders were in their place.
If cash is king then Apple certainly is doing beyond well with that. And are we somehow saying that the stock hasn't done well under Tim Cook? Where is it compared to where it was when Steve Jobs left? And are we really going to try to split hairs on most admired or most valued or something like that based on sub-dividing it into some sub-sections and splitting off some aspects of this or that? Seems like people know where things stand fairly well.

Well, world peace could also be achievable, as are many many other things if only reality was different in this way or that way.
No man stick to the Apple stuff Tummy. A few less emoji demos at keynotes and a few more Mac products
Meanwhile there will be an increased focus on the production of Nike socks (which must be stitched together by the small hands of peasant children).

I think it's the difference in a founding member vs typical CEO.
Apple seems to have no creative direction anymore. Tim Cook is a good financial steward, but seems to have little to no interest in the creation of products we didn't know we needed. Apple needs a full time visionary as CEO.
No matter how many times this is said, it still won't be true.
Just because you can't see the forest while looking at the trees doesn't mean things aren't happening. An ecosystem is developing that no other tech company can match, and less than "amazing" products like the Apple Watch will be significant parts of that. Over $1.5 billion in sales per quarter is significant for any product.
