Who brought up “community service” for this all-hands? 

We are going to war gentleman. Gear up and fly the Pirate Flag 

What in the hell are you talking about? Apple has been encouraging employees to get involved with volunteering and community service for 40 years. Since before Apple's own pirate flag flying.

It was Tim Cook who brought it up, by the way.

Try this:  The company is at a critical competitive cross road.   The future is at stake.  And you are offended I suggest they should not spent time discussing community volunteering at the fist all-hands after the earning call?     It is all hands on deck right now 

And yes, I know Cook brought it up 

Who brought up “community service” for this all-hands? 

Cook needs to get rid of all DEI at Apple.   It is a cancer that kills internal culture and allows 2nd tier employees to exist at the company.  Apple still has "Racial Equity and Justice" and "Inclusion and Diversity" links on its home page.   It is disgusting 

Competitors are  moving faster, more aggressively, and only care if an employee can deliver results.    While Apple is primarily focused that everyone, regardless of talent, is "included". 

This is going to kill this company 

So, Apple decided to basically take FY 2025 off?

This company has lost all sense of urgency.   Spending time and resources on the F1 movie is a joke   

I could nitpick this article, especially the phrase "Apple Intelligence has seemingly stumbled." 

But overall, the article is very good and level headed.    Everyone needs to calm down about Siri, and let's see where Apple is on it 12 months from now
