This article is pretty terrible and I'm not a fan of Apple but honestly he's taken a pretty measured approach and the fact that their product is garbage isn't his fault so much as the hype train being off course.

If anything people should be thankful he didn't waste more money, but right now the measurement isn't how successful your business is or how good your product is but how much money you flushed down the toilet chasing the dream of "AI". Because this is a bubble not a revolution.

He as a CEO is ultimately responsible for all products of the company. A hype train demands willing participants to jump in.

The failed Project Titan over 10yrs investment is still a massive colossal but this is not the first time given that we have AirPower for another example or iOS features in general itself.

Tim Apple isn’t garbage, but he’s overstayed his welcome. I’m hoping Craig Federighi takes his place.

I read the headline up until "he has made Apple what it is" and then I was, like...

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A company that is now focused more on creating value for shareholders than on innovation? I'd say that's pretty accurate.

Apple's stock has grown by 1,000% since Tim Cook took over as CEO. But obviously that has nothing to do with Tim Cook being a good CEO…

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I didn't say anything different. If the last thing you bought from Apple was their stock, Tim Cook made it what it is. As a CEO that's his primary goal, so he is a great CEO.

[–] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Tim Cook is a CEO. His job is to make money for a board of directors and he does that job well. He is not interested in else because that is what a corporation is about.

Made Apple what it is financially apparently.

How American.

I know this isn’t satire but it feels uncannily like satire.

Tim the creep can get fucked... Disgusting parasite should get the rope with the rest of them for their crimes against the american people

[–] bluemellophone@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You seem like the kind of person I would avoid at a barbecue.

CEO dindu nufin mate...

The good news is you and Tim are unlikely to be attending the same class of barbecues.

Having said that, I’ve postponed my MacBook purchase as part of my boycott of the US. And because as nice as Apple hardware is, it’s hard to shake the feeling that they’re just treading water.
