Can Apple innovate if iPhone remains the biggest slice of its revenues?
Hazen said:Tim Cook can’t lead Apple to produce innovative products because he’s an operations guy. He knows how to sell price points tied to feature sets, not innovative products. That’s why we have two sets of AirPods 4. We only need one, we should only have one, and all of the innovative features of AirPods could have been boiled down into one strong, focused product…But we have two, because Tim couldn’t make AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 Pro because there‘a already AirPods Pro and that would be too confusing, so he split them into AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. Y’know, because Active Noise Cancellation is a feature tied to a higher price point so Apple has to remove it for one set of AirPods to get you to spend more money…again, Tim likes price points tied to features, not products.Look at Vision Pro. Worst battery life ever in an Apple product, more expensive than virtually Apple’s entire product portfolio, requires a big clunky battery bigger than an iPhone that you have to carry around, no killer feature, no innovative new way to work, no value proposition, and if you break it, Apple has to replace the entire device because they don’t yet know how to repair them.That’s not innovation. That’s Tim Cook trying to sell you something you don’t need and hoping that it pays off for Apple’s bottom line.
Innovation at Apple is dead so long as Tim Cook is the CEO.Period.
On the other hand, Apple has given up on some markets prematurely and sometimes they ignore their customers in astounding ways. No one and no company is perfect. -

Why Apple should cater to 'serious' gamers - and why it probably won't
The fact is, Apple should offer top tier performance options, not just for gaming, but for pro developers, video and music. There are many that are willing to pay the premium for Apple's generally superior quality and aesthetics. Apple's lack of leading edge enhancements to it's Mac product line is really inexcusable and embarrassing. I also fear Apple is falling way behind in the "Cloud" market. This market is starting to impact the consumer market, which is where Apple lives and thrives. By ignoring this growing area, they are leaving themselves vulnerable. -
