Who grew Apple from a 346 billion company into a 3 trillion behemoth by focusing on supply chain optimization. From a business pov, he was insanely successful.
Well I can’t unbox and review a 800 dollar apple supply chain on YouTube for clicks, can I?!
I think Cook just led the company on refining and making higher quality versions of what they already made under Jobs.
I think the watch was his, but did Apple come out with anything really amazing other than the m series chips?
airpods are also really popular.
also Jobs may not have had any great products released in the last 15 years either. paradigm shifting stuff like ipods and iphones only come along once in a while.
granted the products that have been released probably would have been different in some way under jobs. For example, maybe Vision (or something like it) would have been more successfull under him. But we will never know.
The M chips have been a truly impressive innovation. But on so many other levels Apple under Cook has just been resting on laurels - including putting out absurd industrial design faux pas’s like placing charging ports on the bottom of mice, or power buttons on the bottom of MacMinis, as well as deliberately making so many of their products close to impossible to repair. And on a software level Apple is a total mediocrity, I’ve never encountered a worst file manager for a current OS than when I use MacOS for work (professional audio production) & iOS for my kiddo’s iPad. Somehow those flaws haven’t prevented its massive financial success with their cult, but that seems to go with the times these days.
I have zero problems with power buttons on the bottom of minis. It’s a total non issue that’s another clickbaity thing for people to bitch about.
No Mac user I know ever shuts their machine down completely. It’s very quiet so they just go to sleep and wake instantly when the mouse or keyboard are used.
Jobs was a narcissist and a raging asshole, but something tells me he wouldn’t have acquiesced that easily to a Trump regime.
Exactly. Jobs being an asshole meant he would have the foresight to see the Trump regime was statistically likely to be a boat of turds powered by old time racist bigotry that wouldn’t age well as a legacy.
Cook is one of those guys who sinks the ship with complacency, cowardice and is only waiting to cash out and retire with someone who doesn’t really respect him. A true bottom.
