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. 😣

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.
