So Siri can also call herself “mechahitler” and spout fascist propaganda like Grok?

Tim Cook Might Not Fully Retire After Stepping Down as Apple CEO — Here's Why

They are both developers...and one of them works at the spaceship in Cupertino...not in iOS/iPadOS/etc. development, but a developer none-the-less.
It’s also possible cook himself doesnt want that, he’s not exactly the CEO that’s always been gunning to be the one in front of the camera, he may not want a big to-do
I bet there are a lot of people on MR who think MKBHD should be the next CEO.
It's more than just you. It's Apple's 1+ Billion active/repeat happy customers who love and purchase Apple products year after year.
Hogwash. Stop making excuses for this woke goofball. What innovation has Cook overseen in the product world since Jobs departure? iPhone same. iPad same. iMac same. AppleTV same. Macbooks same. Oh wait... wait... there's a certain failing ski-goggles that nobody wants... some overpriced and discontinued speakers... a super duper thin phone that has already been cancelled. Forgot about those gems. 😂
We always do. It must be tough being a company that drops new tech as often as Apple, and 3 weeks later so many people are “bored” with the new release and are already talking about what’s next. I think that’s just human nature. Needless to say we’ve been pretty spoiled and I’m quite enjoying it.
No... he'll continue to give Apple's 1+ Billion active/repeat customers products they love to purchase, year after year.
As a result of the above, Apple shareholders will reap the rewards of Apple's massive revenue, and being one the world's most successful consumer tech companies in the world.
Whatabout Donald J Trump, the successfull businesman?
Steve Jobs fought this his whole life! Why would Apple bring in a normie from the outside? I think this was tried with the Apple Stores and the guy only lasted about 3 months and he was trying to run the Apple Stores like the were a Radio Shack or something insane like that!
Just saying that the markets would likely go jittery if he completely walked. Having him as a chair is a good insurance policy. As long as the ceo is free to be the ceo.
At any rate, having at least one person on apple’s board who actually knows about the tech industry would be useful !
The suggestion that Apple intentionally leaked the fact that Cook is preparing to step down should be taken as very unlikely, as it may violate securities laws.
The fact of an impending CEO transition, if true, could well be considered material nonpublic information (MNPI), which is information that a reasonable investor would consider important in deciding whether to trade in securities but that is not broadly publicly available. Generally, the SEC's regulation FD (for 'fair disclosure') prohibits publicly traded companies from making selective disclosures in a way that some market actors can trade on the information and others cannot. Avoiding a reg FD violation generally would mean making the information broadly publicly available by releasing the information in a securities filing, a press release distributed to the major wires, or other source the company has said may be a source of material updates. If an authorized agent of a company instead leaked MNPI to a reporter, that might not be reg FD compliant.
I'm on board, as long as I get to be in the crow's nest
Except for the products from other companies that copied Apple!
