Who think Steve is better than Tim .give a like 👍
I think they are both assholes.
As much as i prefer Steve Jobs to run apple instead of Tim Cook, you are missing the whole point. Comparing orange to apple.
no one can run apple like Steve
Wall yeas and noe, time crook wase an wanderful CLEO visianary, aind time crook wase an wanderful CLEO visianary.
Did I make you want to kill me with my grammar?
In reality, they both delivered something different to Apple. Steve could create exciting new products and Tim could find better ways to assemble them.
Tim Cook is a highly competent executive who knows how to run a company. Steve Jobs was a visionary who injected magic into the company and made it more than a mere corporation. Both were perfect choices for the company in its respective stages.
Fuck no tim cook is making 700$ wheels lemme tell u that

Very well said.
Innovator VS caretaker I worked in Silicon Valley .... Pee Wee Herman could have taken over and done the same if not better job
IF this video was meant to change my perspective on Tim Cook (Apple), then it did. Great job.
Apple lost the media wars. Samsung brilliantly cultivated the anti-Apple online hate. You can not watch or read anything about tech anymore, without the Fandroid army trashing Apple in the comments. What a shame. Apple is (and always was) an overall force for good in the world.
"overall force for good in the world" WTF!!?
Get it? Great JOB
MN you're a tagged that no one likes
I didn't know Tim was gay. The more you know.
I don't think cook's problem is timing, i think his issue is product intuition, design, and a fundamental and philosophical sense of consumer desire. Jobs had it and it was the reason he revolutionized the smart phone business at a time when blackberry was still king. revolutionized animation at a time when Dinsey was king, revolutionized PC's at a time when IBM was king. iPod's at a time when Sony was king.
You basically proved why Tim's issue is time and not the ability to innovate. It's pretty clear in the video and logically that Steve Jobs did the right things at the right time. Unsuccessful people call this timing luck, it's not luck, it's the reason why successful people are successful. They're successful because they know what to do and when to do it. Tim Cook has been innovating on a small scale but in numbers, so he might just make a big change in the future
Null I'm thoroughly impressed by Apples under Tim Cook. It is not just about delivering the right product at the right time. It is about delivering the right product, better than anyone else in the market, while also making positive impact to the society. Examples, Apple Energy, Liam Robot and ARKit.
On the other hand I'm actually not that impressed with what Google has been doing. Android was a Me-Too product, so was Google Cloud.
wildreams how are you not impressed by Apple lately? Apple had been making better products than any other company. Apple still has a very good sense of balance between performance, build quality, battery life and design(looks and feels).
Literally no company can create something ground breaking. Like he said in the video we are in that point of time where something major lies ahead. To gotta see who discovers it first. Might be a whole new company. Who knows.
Aman Rathore , it's not luck, at that period of time technology was about to break through and there really weren't many companies that were even trying very hard to be like Apple.
Tim Cook has innovatived far more then people realise, who made the Apple Pencil? The Apple Watch?
People have to accept that Steve is gone now, this is Tim's time. 5 years on Apple is still doing incredibly well. I praise Tim Cook for doing what he has done.
Daniel Renshaw True, but Steve is still awesome
Daniel Renshaw The legacy will never fade.
Liberal Tears the *thinks about i phone x* yeah he is doing well *Laugh's*
Aryo Kuncoro the headphone jack is going to be gone on many places, but people can get used to it. It’s just like adobe flash player. Home button took up space and they might be able to add back Touch ID in the future
but no one can match or replace steves vision.
"Don't ask what would Steve Jobs do, I want you to do what is right."
And then Tim proceeds to sell iphone at 999$ like really...
I love the energy that an iPhone gives me.
People think Tim Cook doesn't live up to Steve Jobs but in reality Cook has been with Apple a long time, and has been an incredible asset to the company. Cook has done a wonderful job with Apple and deserves a lot more praise than he gets. I like the guy a lot.
but he can never live up to Steve!
Elijah Masquelier it was Tim Cook's achievement and idea to produce the iPhone in China. Whether you like it or not, it helped Apple tremendously
Apple has been producing products in China even under Steve Jobs. You would know this if you owned any products during Steve Jobs. Like on the back of my iPod 4 and my old iPhone 4 says that signed in Apple in California and manufactured in China
2stefan2000 if you look at the back of an iPhone 4 which which was produced under Steve Jobs. It also says designed by Apple in California and produced and manufactured in China they were making products even in China under Steve Jobs not just Tim Cook. Tim Cook was trying to bring some of the products back into the United States like the Mac pro to be produced here and manufactured
Apple was unique and this Man fucked the entire product line up
But no one can be steve jobs and that’s a fact
No one can be another one, because every single human is unique. You can't be someone you want rather you may be more or less than that someone.
yes, but there will be a one that will open a new age, just like him.
he didnt design anything
Bullsh*t, there’s always room for innovation, ALWAYS
I hope the next major innovation is in battery technology. 5g connectivity sounds good too.
When 5G comes out, Apple will make one more 4G phone, and use 5G as an incentive to upgrade to the next one.
Apple held back on 3G and 4G for battery life concerns (3G eats up battery a lot quicker than 2G and that LTE eats up significantly more battery life than 3G) which is why the earliest 3G and LTE phone had garbage battery life. If they wait on 5G it’ll be for the same reasoning.
JohnJacob JinglehimerSchmidt It makes a convenient excuse, certainly.
MonkeyMan Battery life issues would be easily addressed if the manufacturers weren't so adamant on making phones thinner and thinner. That's not an excuse for stagnation, but certainly a pragmatic temporary solution. But obviously it won't be happening unless all manufacturers agree to do the same.
elucidate it’s hardly an excuse, go back and look at the contemporaries of those iPhones that adopted 3G and LTE early- it isn’t pretty. At this point we can’t go back to thicker phones either since our phones are so much bigger (we’ve gone from 3.5"-4” to 5"-5.5”)- the decreased thickness is in part a response to counterbalance the weight and size of bigger phones.
Quantum chips
Apple under Jobs was always about the product. That is where Apple needs to return to be successful in the future.
What I admire about Apple is that they really care about environment they work so hard to power their operations with green sustainable energy

Tim Cook is way way better CEO than the Pepsi guy Apple replaced Steve Jobs with when he got kicked out , forgot the name .
Wow I'm really dumb. I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS GAY
he maybe right, but I think timcook likes to gamble, like the 5C and now the controlversial SE. and this is what samsung does, they launch too many range of products to test the market. while steve jobs preferred to focus on a single product and make it perfect before launch.
But - Tim Cook has driven iPhone sales way higher
+Brodie (skip) Exactly
Well, none of those products were flawed, they’re not as popular because, no matter how much people complain Apple is expensive, people don’t get the 5C or SE because they are less expensive, actually. Apple makes prestigious products, so as illogical as it sounds, people don’t want to get cheap apple products, they want to get the newest, best, and most expensive stuff.
rub97EW 5c fail cause it’s price isn’t that far from 5s but SE is other story.
its because of the 6 and 6 plus.. they were apples first big phones. not to mention the speed,camera.
interesting story. but apples quality for their products still went down and Steve Jobs still "made" the better products. Tim Cook is interesting to me. he's very good in money making but Steve was still the best.
true RIP steve jobs just think the iphone 4,4s are more durable than any other apple cellphone and then in 2012 the iphone 5 wasn't as durable as the 4s
I don’t think the quality of their products went down at all but competitors products got a lot better (Samsung actually knows how to design things now, Microsoft has started making top of the line tablets and laptops) and technology has gotten a lot more boring and incremental so it’s harder to make stand out products without doing something really gimmicky.
JohnJacob JinglehimerSchmidt I agree😀
JohnJacob JinglehimerSchmidt but Microsoft and Apple are pretty much teaming up now
I know ppl will hate him , but as a human his a wiseman
There is no double standards for fucking your customers over.
Who else didn't know Cook was gay
I personally love Tim Cook. I adore him and Jobs but personality wise, Cook has been nothing but an inspiration!
You don't wait for the big moment to happen, you make it happen yourself and that's what Steve Jobs did with his team.
No one can beat Steve Jobs in anything.
Bill gates beat him..
@@do-or-die5822 nahhhh
@@boysmatovu7388 u not aware of history? Bill fooled him and created windows.. After Steve returned to Apple, Bill gates invested in Apple and that saved Apple..
Latesh Lilwa do you even know why bill gates invest in apple? You seem dumb
Latesh Lilwa he had to invest or else he will lose the lawsuit
Clickbait.
Where is the thing I did not know about Tim Cook?
Where is the video? I've only seen an ad for Tim Cook.
Ethics and blah blah blah? What? Suicidal Chinese workers jumping from buildings choosing death over another day of sweat shop esque conditions? And a phone costing 1200-1400+ dollars?! You must be kidding. Oh but hey, he was vocal about privacy...🙄
"I different way companies can behave in the world, and effect new change." - That is the new revolutions happening now.
Jobs is the visionary guy, the guy with the ideas.. Cook is more of an admistrative and operational guy and nothing bad abt that. The perfect guy u need to run a gigantic company like Apple.
Steve jobs made every product sound exciting. He could sell you his own poop and you will be excited. A very talented salesman indeed
😂 it's insane
I wouldn't buy someone's poop even if Steve Jobs or Elon Musk sells it.
he didnt design anything
Apple is starting to become one of the biggest companies in the world and it's kind of scary
Starting?
Joseph Dada sorry (Have Ben) Lol
lol it is!
Apple is one of the biggest, I agree BUT not scary as you mentioned. GOOGLE on the other hand has it's hands on everyday products and I find that to be more scarier. They know everything about you starting wit your email, to your location, to youtube history, your spending (google wallet), google browsing, and they bought a robot company which will be in the military sometime in the future.
Apple just sells phones, computers, and electronics ...not that scary.
hoho keep dreaming samsung sheep
Apple is losing ideas since Steve jobs' death..
Dulnath Perera apple never made. anything
***** go search on Google I not here to help you
Arynn you are right! They have invented a lot of things!
Arynn no I wrote this dumb comment
Almost a Year ago , I had no idea what I was doing and I have many apple products such as Mac ,iPhone 7 ,Apple Watch
Arynn I said Almost😝
How many apple products do u have?
Tim Cook: the most heterosexual homosexual I ever saw
what the fuck?
still tim cook doesn t make any great designes for upcoming idevices. i miss steve jobs. I still use my iphone 4 for the memory of steve jobs.
😭😭😭 yeah that's soo sweet of you
What seperates Steve Jobs and Tim Cook is a lot of factors. Tim Cook is a little above average CEO while Steve Jobs is a phenomenal CEO a true visionary one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time.
Great video by Bloomberg. You don't see many of these around. I couldn't agree more. Apple is totally Tim cooks rite now. It's about great products, social responsibilities, inclusion and environmental responsibilities. Apple is leading by example about what a company should really be about.
Mahir Uddin Look who manufactures their iPhones. lmao
No, it's about fooling people like you, which they've obviously succeeded in doing.
All points are absolutely debatable.
Apple sold more iPhones under Tim Cook than it did with Steve Jobs. Now that amazing interesting.
gmanxgh16 No shit. Sales would've went up anyways as Android and iOS phones got more popular
Steve Jobs Is Our Only Hope For This Scary For This Scary Discovery =/
Think different
The two great things he's done are buying Beats, getting Trent Reznor, and utilizing them to make Apple Music, and standing up against the FBI's war on encryption.
I miss the root of the apple company when they had the best devices for pros and they had them first.
Now they are behind and more focused on the phone & watch, leaving behind what people know them for before the phone. Any one could walk in to a publication and see all mac pros knowing they had the best of the best at that time.
Look at thunderbolt they had it first now v3 they dont, they have not up dated Thunderbolt Display in years and the imac you cant use as a display for the new so called mac pro that makes no sense. I would buy mac pro and the 5k imac just for the display.
My point is they left behind what most from the past know them for, to now people know them for phones ipads now the watch.
I do give them credit for the new mac pro but feel its not keep up with the times like they use to be on top.
Cant say steve would have keep up with this, just feel him and his team lost that side of the company.
Just hope Tim can bring that back and keep up with that side of things.
+GoFastJames yep, time for a mac pro update, selling 4 year old tech as the "flag ship pro computer" is laughable...
t H what do you guys think of the iMac pro now that’s it’s been released?
Tim Cook is good Steve Jobs is better in every way
I've said it before watching this video and I say it after. Tim Cook is a great ceo.
Thats BS, No one could ever deliver a product like Steve Jobs could ever. Knowing how Jobs was I can tell that they were completely different people. Jobs was always about his products and perfection whereas Cook is about being gay? LOL
How is Tim Cook "about being gay". Tim Cook is about Apple and its products as well...
Can we please stop using the antiquated word "homosexual?" Like please.
who cares?
I appreciate the thrive that Steve had for creating a unique brand for creators, but we have to give it to Tim and the way he has managed Apple and how much money he has made. Two different philosophies but in the investor's mind Tim wins
I really think the Apple Watch was/is the next big thing. It's amazing from what I can tell. And it was just done so well. That watch is definitely the future.
And Siri, TouchID, 3D/Force Touch, HealthKit and Apple Pencil etc. is all very impressive. They're really innovative still.
Agreed. People just seem to be soo easily unimpressed these days in my opinion.
what can the apple watch do that android watches can't that came out a year ago? and btw they are expensive not impressive!
techchannel apps, apple pay, etc
Brodie man there's android pay too
I heard the apple watch gen 2 IS THE SAME as the first gen except it's water resistance...how is that innovative?
So what was the story about the two that we didn't know about?
Another poor analysis
Steve jobs has done a lot of hard work
Tim Cook is fantastic.
Apple Watch series 2 = 10/10
Ear Pods = 8/10 needs better speakers or a lower price. Still amazing though.
MacBooks, MacBook Pro's and iMacs are all fantastic machines = 8/10. They still need to be a lower price and have better specs compared to some similar Microsoft laptops. There is also the ports issue.
iPhone 7 Plus = 9/10. Love this phone. It could have some feature like super fast charging and less bezels. I think wireless charging is a fad because it's slower and is merely for show.
Apple also bringing Google's voice to the iPhone is a step in the right direction. I like Siri but Google is so far ahead when it comes to voice, maps and other things.
The one thing about Apple is every device works flawlessly. Saying that I did hear about some hiccups on the 2016 MacBook Pro which needs ironing out.
All the devices I own from Apple work like a dream.
You can see why it's so good to stay with Apple.
Tim Cook wouldn't be what he actually is without Steve Jobs, and if Steve was alive Apple would be ether the same or better than what currently is.
Ignorant moron. Tim was with Steve since the 80s. He implemented Steve's ideas. Steve handpicked him to lead Apple in 2011. For a guy who demanded nothing but excellenc3 in people you think Steve didn;t know what he was signing up to with Cook?? Can yall guys stop resenting Tim for not living up to the spotlights that Steve craved?? Arsehole
Moises Sequera---I agree with the first part of your statement however the second part should have said, "and Steve Jobs would never have been what he was without Tim Cook". You can have the greatest product in the world but if you don't know how to run a business you get gobbled up by a competitor or simply go bust.
If Steve Jobs was still alive he would most likely not be working at Apple anymore, just like how Bill Gates no longer works for Microsoft
Tim Cook is great, but he could be better. His strengths are embracing certain "right moves" that make the company better in other directions than it would otherwise be if Steve's stubborness was still around. Although I think ultimately Apple is best in Steve's hands comparitively so far, Tim has definitely made some better advancements to Apple and to their OS in particular that I feel maybe Steve wouldn't be so quick on. He was wonderful as a 2nd in command to Steve Jobs and as someone to combine talents with Steve to sort of complete some of his faults or bounce ideas off of, but TIm could be and has the ability to be better, and it's not too late. Tim has been able to keep Apple afloat more or less, but not skyrocket yet or even make some of the best decisions. I think Steve too would have gotten rid of the headphone jack, but there are certain other decisions that I feel would have been more refined, and that is due to Steve's stricter nature. I appreciate Tim's ability to lead with kindness, and there is definitely more than one way to accomplish the same things Steve would, but I think Tim needs to do some soul-searching on where Apple has been and its whole journey, and get more deep down to the core and fiber of what Apple is in order to have a stronger road-map, similar to how Steve got super-focused when he first returned to the company in the 90s and never lost sight.
The argument that Apple is better financially under Tim Cook the Steve jobs is bunk. It was in the growth phase under Steve he released product after product introducing new revenues streams that were all growing massively every year, You could have put anyone behind the company and it would have done just as well after the iPhone. I do give Tim props on the supple chain though
wow he's gay that's so unique I can't believe that one single human is gay gosh can you believe that I sure can't my mind is completely blown so different so innovative
Jobs has left a legacy behind him and in spite of what the video says about Tim asking himself what Jobs might have done in difficult decisions, he's somehow subconsciously thinking about it in terms of legacy, values, etc. There's a guide, a bright star that points them in the right direction in a sense and guides everyone's decisions at Apple. This is something the Jobs left for them.
tons of innovations in technology.
BUT THEY STILL CAN'T FUCKING STOP THE CHARGER FROM BREAKING!!!!!!!!!!
Tim Cook just does what's best for his company. Their innovation is gone.
I really don't think it would be valid to compare Tim Cook with Steve Jobs since they are very different with each other. Tim Cook is a far superior CEO than Steve Jobs could ever become. Unlike Steve though, he isn't a visionary or an "inventor" if you will. Tim is a CEO and he does his job brilliantly. Steve was an "inventor" first and a CEO second.
And Steve inventor first and CEO second that make Apple much more better products and easy to sell.
A Cool Name what did Steve Jobs invented?
A Cool Name name one product Steve invented ? he wasnt even an apple engineer or knew how the circuit board worked
The best way to put it is, Steve jobs was "better" at making the best, most perfect, and most reliable products.
Tim Cook is a "better" business man and knows how to make big money
So essentially, if you want your company to make innovated products and make significant technological leaps, hire Steve.
If you want someone who can grow your company's net worth as quickly and efficiently as possible, hire Tim Cook.
Sure...Steve Jobs was Great!......A Genius!.....But Tim Cook kept the boat swimming without sinking.
I have amazing ideas I would like to share with Apple in Memory of Thanksgiving to Mr. Steven Jobs.🙏
Sometimes people forget that it takes more than 1 man to run Apple. When Jobs came back to Apple in late 90s, Apple was struggling moving it own weight. Tim Cook is like a personal trainer, he help Apple to cut fat, to lighter itself, he makes Apple move faster, and Jobs put the ipod in Apple pocket so Apple can enjoy some fun while excersise. That's not Jobs choose Cook to be 2nd in commanf and his successor for no reason
Yeah....because nobody knew this. It was only reported over and over by every media outlet. 🙄 maybe report about Steve’s daughter. Oh....wait.
its funny when he said apple did things to get tech first but most of their specs are years behind cheaper products
i see how tim cook makes the company better than steve jobs the idea of tim is make people desperate to buy Apple products with more money and eliminating the essential stuff such as Headphone jack and Fingerprint scanners and Computers with superior specs but inferior in terms of connectivity
yes yes yes...but...why that NOTCH??? Its not Apple. hell its not even a startup like the Essential Phone (much smaller notch)
Tim Cook is an excellent CEO no doubt. But you cant really compare that to Steve Jobs. Tim Cook has made Apple great, in a mediocre way. Steve Jobs made Apple great in a foundational & revolutionary way.... there's a huge difference between the two. I don't even know if we will see another Steve Jobs again. But we may see another Tim Cook. If that makes sense..
Tim Cook= trash
Steve jobs=genius
after Tim take over apple the whole company becomes the worst in technology
buy Razer instead
My phone got fall and the LCD broke so that time i want to fix that but you know.... And that time i start use android . (Sorry for my bad english)
Tim is a great person and leader of the worlds biggest technology company, I'm glad he took over. RIP Steve though, we miss him dearly.
Tim should step down. iPhone 6,6+ ,7 ,7+ ,Apple Watch 1 & 2 all is a big fail.
Liar
Apple watch is the second highest selling watch after Rolex. iPhone 6 was the biggest iPhone release, selling over 120 million units. iPhone 7 sales were higher than what Apple themselves expected.
Tim Cook create products didn't work correctly and support is very bad that make to closer bankruptcy....
This is a PR PIECE... I can't even begin to start, Apple makes all the money off innovations from steve jobs... tim cook hasn't innovated anything besides the apple watch... which is basically just a thing for runners, other words its pointless. Don't compare him to steve,, There shouldn't be a competition.. NO one will EVER be better for APPLE THAN STEVE.. and PS.. every product that steve innovated, they actively facilitated the development of the tech... they Made literally DoZens of Game Changing Innovations... Lets just Hope Tim Cook does a decent job..
The cpu is round made very wise that goes faster, Centralized processor united 's should be made round but squar ones work too, kind regards.

Did I make you want to kill me with my grammar?
I think Tim Cook is better than Jobs, but still, Jobs will always be my number 1 CEO. And I don't know where he did great. He is different! RIP Steve Jobs
Woz > Jobs > Cook
Apple might be ahead in business..
But Steve Jobs would have brought new ideas in tech market(without caring about money).. not following others...
But we gotta accept it that Steve is no more here.. and I personally am a fan of Steve's ideas, and not Apple..
Some People here are dumb they like Tim cook more than Steve Jobs wtf guys Steve invented APPLE without him this wouldn't have been possible 🙆
CORRECTION!!! The climate does NOT dictates when you want to innovate a product.
Tim Cook is simply NOT a visionary and thats not the issue here... the real problem is that when others in the team decide some bogus ideas Cook doesn't course correct them. There are many pathetic claims from Phil Schiller when it comes to justifying some of Apple's decisions.
The headphone jack, the lack of SD CARDS on the one laptop that is supposed to be for professionals. The lack of 4K Macbook Pros or lack of touch screen.
I understand touch screen on a laptop is not needed but what about 4K???? Why would you ever sell your laptop $1,000 more than the competition and not include a Touch 4K display.
If you do t believe in Touch screen or 4K then price your products properly cuz Phil Schiller simply makes up the lamest excuses for everything Apple does. Also Including his pathetic claim about Touch Screen iMacs not being practical to use even after EVERYONE LOVED the Surface Studio.
The iMac should have been the Surface Studio and Apple completely arrogantly let it go under Cook's administration.... Something so obvious.
Well Steve Jobs built the huge momentum the Tim Cook is currently riding on right now thats why he is making more money for Apple now. Remember Steve came back from a dying Apple in 1999.
So what, a genius janitor would make a decent CEO? There was a guy who believed that. His name was Vladimir Lenin and he gave world a great lesson. And great supply-chain-builder should remain supply-chain manager, not ceo. Jobs told Cook not try to be another Jobs, but Tim still occasionally says “but I know Steve, and Steve...” blah-blah follows. It’s a prostitutin got the fact he knew Jobs personally. It still does not make him even close.
So u telling me that Tim Cook is better then Steve Jobs?!
Marco Leitao to be honest,I hate when anyone compares them,because they’re friend, not enemies to compare
Title is completely missleading, there was no story here. Clickbait from Bloomberg, than we get mad when normal people do it.
Apple went through big transition into New Era under Tim Cook CEO since 2011. Steve Jobs Era over. Apple Watch is First New Product under Tim Cook and is test can Apple still create New Products without Steve jobs. Apple Watch hasn't been Revolutionary product like iPod iPhone iPad were cause it was right moment. Apple Watch will take off it just take time and improvements. Apple already working on improvements for Apple Watch could be Apple Watch S upgrade for second generation and Apple Watch 2 third generation in 2017. We will see what happens. We are in between next big moment that when Apple Watch will be Revolutionary product like iPod iPhone iPad were. People have forgotten that Apple Watch is first generation product and what Apple Watch could be ? isn't not going be perfect but with improvements get better. Apple Watch is just like when iPad launch in 2010 people weren't sure about it then it became blockbuster when iPad 2 launch in 2011.
Why do people keep saying Tim Cook has a better record with Apple in terms of revenue than Steve Jobs. Yeah, so? Steve Ballmer also did the same with Microsoft. It's called path dependence - that means the ground work was laid for them to benefit.
What is apple doing, I'm a apple consumer 📱 and they are being lazy, Samsung did an amazing job with the s8 and they still have a headphone jack it's 2017 already, Tim is being lazy, apple died when Steve died and it hurts me to say it
The problem is how the Mac line has stagnated. Hopefully the new Mac Pro design will help. Oh and maybe a new OS with touch and a simpler design?
Really this guy gave apple props for display. Also who gives a fuck if he's gay. Also Samsung is beating apple in so many departments. I just don't see Apple lasting.
Changes like that need years to take effect. Much weaker and simpler Apple of the beginning of 80th ‘needed’ years to fall. This more powerful Apple of today and yesterday is even harder to destroy even by Tim Cook. However, now we see the ‘results’ of Tim Cook being a ‘valuable asset’. His last excuse of profits is fading away. What else will he give excuses about? Bad situation in the world?
To be fair, Cook took over a company with the momentum of a rocket mid-flight. All that money and resources, and you would imagine Apple would have some of the top research labs in the world, teams of scientists, designers, engineers and researchers on the payroll to just let them come up with cool stuff they could brand and market. Instead, their insular (arrogant) focus on the iPhone and thinness as the singular litmus test for aesthetics has brought their products' structural integrity, expandability and overall user friendliness into question. Tim's "operational excellence" might be what's responsible for entire product lines dying on the vine with no word from Cupertino (Thunderbolt Display, Airport, Time Capsule, Mac Mini, Mac Pro etc). Steve Jobs was a creative genius and Apple's alleged deep bench doesn't come even close to replacing his ideas and obsession with design. Somebody, if not Tim Cook, needs to restore the focus on delivering the BEST products and break this painfully incremental update cycle.
people really don't give Tim Cook enough credit at all, hell, the ecosystem wasn't even really a thing when Steve Jobs was in apple. however, Tim Cook seems to rush everything out. iOS compared to Android in terms of stability is depressing, iOS is really buggy (even on 12) and ik you could say it's because apple is big so everyone expects perfection out of them, but I'm an apple and Android person and iOS hasnt felt stable in a long time.
How is it shocking that there's only one gay CEO? It's irrelevant, someone should be a CEO based on what they succeed in and bring to the table, not because they're gay...moron
I'm just waiting for Tim to announce a new digital SLR camera and an electronic Scooter for commuting to work.
Revenue likely increased hugely under Cook than Jobs because Steve Job's passing surged an increase in sales. Think about it. A book about Steve Job's life is still one of the top most selling.
Nah. I disagree. Apple true value and core value is all die with timmy. He is too obsesive with making more money, secure the supply chain. And that is not about timing. Do not undermine what steve job did at that time. It is more than a timing, it is the spirit of making things better. It is about thinking differently and making the product better. So consumers would love it. Your consumers should be your interest, not your fucking supply chain.
Jobs was one hell of a man. He could take the decisions and execute on it. But, cook can't function like him. There is chains of command that cook should follow, but still he is carrying it pretty well.
Apple is making more money now because of steve jobs and if steve jobs was still alive apple would probably be making even more money.
If I was the CEO of apple, I would of taken it to new heights rather than launching the same old phone over and over again and calling it a day. I would taken it way past any other phone companies (I don’t know how though lol). What do you guys think you would do if you became CEO?
Tim may not be a visionary like Steve but this time around the people at Apple are building upon the fundamental infrastructure that Steve has left them, unlike the 80's when they've ostracized him and Apple almost went bankrupt!
