Tim says...."...because we know we can only do a few things well..."
Sadly that number is decreasing rapidly. When will he realize and admit it? He realizes now of course but will not admit it until the day after he retires into the sunset with his $$$$$.

"Well, usually the way that you get people around here to do something is to tell them you're not sure it's doable. That's the red flag in front of the bull because a lot of people here don't take "impossible" as being true. If we convince ourselves it's in the best interest of the user, that's a compelling force for us to power through the problem."
Maye they need to be told fixing bugs is impossible?
The shareholders raking in cash and customers buying all the products agree
I did not saw the interview. But I supposed he is referring to the engineering part (e.g. apple silicon), one thing is the capacity of doing something vs actually doing it. iMessage on windows = apple has the capacity to do it but not the will to make it happen. Most likely they will not do it until either they are force by the gov or if they see a business opportunity.
Perhaps they just said “Thick,” which in Jony-speak is the biggest no of all
Yet you are "Loyal to Apple Forever". You often down vote yet are still loyal. Care to let us know why?

"Loyal to Apple Forever" Not "Loyal to Tim Cook". There is a big difference between those two.
Also, I tend to stay real and speak the truth. When I see something is wrong/not right I will point it out. No holdbacks!
Of course I’m not sure why you would be surprised of that. First and foremost they are a corporation designed to make money. Everything is second to the main goal. They have secondary goals such as the environment and other political issues that I couldn’t discuss here but those will always be secondary to profit. That is not just a characteristic of Apple but to any corporation. A more cynical person might think Tim Cook’s talking about whatever is just pandering but I believe he’s sincere when he talks about something but he also knows that in order for any of that to happen Apple has to stay in business and make a profit.
There’s always a place for “No”. This is why there isn’t ads on the iPhone home screen or a lot of other garbage that exists in the android world. If you want iMessage it’s easy buy an iPhone.
Reading a Tim Cook interview makes me miss and appreciate Steve Jobs so much more. Steve actually had original thoughts and insights, not just generic corporate PR responses.
He's such a lizard person. For someone who tries to portray Apple as having a heart and soul, he has neither.
Things that steve Jobs would be proud of the Apple watch the AirPods the Mac m1 and 2 the ipad that are still the best tablet on the market the iPhone that is still the best smartphone IOS which is still the best operating system and you'd be surprised to see the mixed reality glasses coming in the next year.
I’d like to hear him speak about financial engineering at Apple since that is pretty much the only thing Apple has excelled at under his watch.
That's just great as otherwise we would have had phones with ridiculous notches and mice with laughable bottom charging ports. Awesome job, team!
Oh wait.
At least he smiles. However, he's only one smile away from being like
And even further, loyal to Apple Products because nothing else comes close. Just like Amazon Shipping. I can order Sat Evening and get the item the next day. Other companies can't even ship in less than a week, plus the crappy delivery speed. And even if you have a choice to upgrade, the shipping cost is more than a month of Prime.
I mean, I hear you can grill them once, but after that, they won't ever invite you back. Apple is very particular about tailoring reviews and interviews that only make them look good. Only option really is a congressional hearing
Every answer Tim Crook gives is an advertisement for their products.
When Tim walks away I would like to see CRAIG Federighi as CEO of apple.

That's if he will ever walk away. I think It will be Luca Maestri. Yes, Craig is a great choice but I don't see it happening.

I would like to see the entire upper management replaced with TRUE innovators.
I don't know either. Though, since my re-joining of the Apple community (2013) it seems to me that QC has gone down for the sake of marketing/profit. Or maybe I don't have a long enough experience.
Great for the stock price over that time though👍
