Tim Cook to Investors: Apple is Working on Future Products That Will 'Blow You Away'

......... the product line is exactly the same as when he took over, add in airpods and Apple Watch, hes been doing a great job. He would not be ceo if he wasn’t doing a good job
I think Schiller would be better, because he isn't Tim Cook. Is that enough reason for you?
Not really, do you think it is? Why would you assume Schiller could have done anywhere near as well as Cook has?
If you really think you’re in a better position to have chosen the next CEO than was Jobs, you have an unrealistic view of your abilities.
I don't Tim Cook knows the meaning of blowing away
. He never showed a vision for the company since he took over unless what he means is more colorful watch bands and bigger battery hump case.

There are many issues from Apple that seem to be engineering oversight in the name of design.
- iPhone 6 Plus bendgate.
- The butterfly keyboard reliability
- The new iPad Pro bendgate and lack of structural integrity
And for those asking about a new Mac Pro, maybe it's because Jonny Ive wants to put a desktop CPU and GPU into a tiny cube, and it's thermally impossible, and the engineers are just trying their hardest to meet the requirements of Sir Ive. Remember the G4 Cube?

I sometimes wonder if Jobs didn't deliberately pick someone with little vision, knowing that it would increase his own reputation and legacy.
The last thing an egotist like Jobs would want, is to put someone in charge who had more vision than he did.

The future products Tim is talking about are more subscription services.
If making high profits is the only measure of success then Tim Cook has done well. But there is more to Apple than that and this is where Tim Cook falls way short, so much that he is the wrong type of CEO for Apple. Tim Cook does make a good caretaker CEO though.

I will just comment on the Services side of things, with Apple, one area that has been neglected that actually is growing substantially, is their services margin. And I think Cook should really be praised for that specific area, especially as you said, with subscriptions, Apple Pay, the App Store has grown exponentially, Apple Music, etc. That’s really an underlying promise for Apple that has been on the rise now for years under Cooks leadership, and services should be continue to be highlighted moving forward with Apple, because that’s where the loyalty is with the user.
Time is running out for you. Your hackintosh cannot be upgraded to Mojave since it has no Nvidia support, T2-security ships and ARM CPUs coming dealing the final death blow.
Why not migrate completely to Windows right now?

And people like you are so detached from the reality of investors.
Investors don't care about the Mac, or replaceable hardware, or CUDA support. They care more about Apple's service revenue than the entire Mac line.
You are correct about the above product, but I disagree on one point.
The margin of Airpods and the Watch is way lower than the iPhone or Mac lineup.
Also, the Watch has way better entry-level prices that makes it successful but not high-revenue.
When you are a shareholder, amazing products means products which produces a lot of revenue and profit.
iPhones, iPads, Macs, AirPods + services like App Store, Apple Music, iCloud Storage has provided great revenue and profit which makes them great products.
Problem is Cook has been touting his amazing pipeline for years.
I think he's getting confused between pipeline and pipedream...
The scary thing is that it is true. Well, if they are battered wifes, they should file for divorce. And seek professional help.
So many of the people have really psychological issues with Apple including abandonment issues.

Those people seems to be stuck in the past, and did not catch that Steve Jobs himself anointed the iPad as the future of computing (post-PC) and relegated the Macs to trucks.
Hey, wait a minute. You may be on to something. Apple’s devices do seem to constantly be supporting new emoji...
You know, I think you may have hit on a pattern here. Every year Apple keeps giving us new emojis, and seemingly nothing else.
You know, you’re right! And I bet with all those engineers working on emojis, that’s why they haven’t given us a mid-tower modular mac yet!
This observation is a unique spark of genius, and also very witty.
Yeah, enough with the emojis already! It’s not as if it’s part of the Unicode standard or anything and every other manufacturer also supports them. Apple, where is the particular device that caters to my particular needs that I have been whining about on here for years despite every other consistent indication that Apple is tailoring its products to a completely different market?!
This is so true, I would imagine half the world only uses their laptops for movies and web surfing.
Blow me away with an iPad PRO that doesn't bend and doesn't have an unresponsive screen and I will buy it immediately.
I'm a huge Apple fan, my entire family relies on the Apple eco system and it's a shame that I cannot spend my budget for the new IPP because I'm not sure about its quality and reliability.
Go back to the basics, please: great, reliable and cool products that work!

That is truly Tim "Me Too" Cook.I don't Tim Cook knows the meaning of blowing away
