It is apple related. I provided relevant links I figured that was all I need *smile* I Truly think Things could be much better. I like he will be a hands on CEO at least that is what it appears. It appears he has real high standards. This can be good.
Tim Cook’s primary responsibility was to ensure the company’s continued success, rather than waiting for groundbreaking innovations. While the Apple Watch and the Apple Pencil are notable achievements, I don’t perceive any other significant innovations attributed to him.
I don’t mean to criticize him, but he wasn’t Steve Jobs.
Let’s hope Jon Ternus brings about more innovation.
I have to share this, mr. Cook has OPENLY supported accessibility and diversity&inclusion values during his career in Apple.
Lately he has knelt down to Trump and I have always thought he was doing that, for strategic reasons: "I'll clean your boots and you leave me alone in return". My malicious thinking addresses to the fact Cook didn't share current President's values. So I am very, very afraid that Mr. Ternus will step down with accessibility, in favor of AI agents (expensive AI agents) or so.
I'm afraid they will begin with that "anti-woke" disgusting rethoric.
Well, even some greenwashing rethoric is disgusting, I can't deny that I have hated that year when on WWDC they made all that "mother nature" drama. I really ran away from the streaming then, but that's another story.
Hypocrites are in accessibility as well, when we have bugs not solved which stay there for years and years, then they go to event and say "we value this and that, blah blah".
I think that American folks, especially those who are close to associations and institutions, should be more active now, more than ever. I talk about american because that president is their, and we have to do our part from Europe as well.
I don't want to be catastrophic but all the mess happening lately is a demonstration that nothing can be considered as granted, so, I just share my concerns.
Innovation? True, there haven't been so much innovation lately, but on this I admit that market is full. IMHO, humanity has invented everything.
Congratulations to him. I hope it makes things even better than Apple and what they already are. Being all negative about what might happen really won’t help cause anyway so you could just be positive and hope for the best.
Apple needs to be more decisive on their product line and support moving forward. I also like the idea of an engineer taking over. Jobs was an engineer and innovator. Cook, was good at one thing, making money. That is all well and good for a corporation as a whole, but we have all experienced the decline of true innovation and accessibility support in recent years.
Sure, Cook is being accredited for the creation of the AirPods and Apple Watch, but bluetooth is old, old tech. Bluetooth was invented in the mid 90s, and the first bluetooth wireless headset went live in the late 90s, and as for the Apple Watch; its basically a scaled down iPod Touch you wear on your wrist.
I am looking forward to seeing what innovations John Ternus will bring.
First off, congratulations to both, particularly John. with that being said, I really hope Moore focuses given to accessibility, specifically. New innovation, obviously doesn’t hurt, but accessibility needs some serious work, particularly on the Mac as we all all know. It’s not bad, but God knows, it could be a heck of a lot better.
One thing that has been disappointing to see, for me at least, is the increasing complexity of Apple's product mix in recent years--especially since decreasing the complexity of product lines was a hallmark of the Steve Jobs era.
It used to be that you had just one iPhone. Then 1 new iPhone became 2, 2 became 4, and 4 became 5. If the rumored iPhone Fold launches and the iPhone Air sticks around for another year, the 2026-2027 line-up will have... 6... iPhones:
iPhone e.
iPhone
iPhone Air
iPhone Pro
iPhone Pro Max
iPhone Ultra
Plus whatever of the previous year's models they keep around to sell at a lower price point.

congratulations to the both of them
Congratulations to the both of them.
You beat me to it, Dennis!
Sadly I was waiting for permission from the powers that be before I posted anything, but you have beaten me to the punch. Well done. 😣
I was on it!

Let us just hope things for getting better.

Report: Ternus to Bring Jobs-Era Decisiveness Back to Apple
I like this. This will be good for Apple.

Why are we doing this?
