In 2020 Tim Cook was not evaluating a Mac Nano even though Apple had the technical ability to produce one easily. That's the difference between a CEO with vision and one with ability. Jobs imagined products that could not be produced. Cook can't imagine products which can be produced.

All this uninformed Tim Cook bashing is getting tiresome: Tim Cook was one of Steve Jobs’s very first, if not first hires when he resumed as CEO. Jony Ive was one of the few senior people Steve Jobs retained from the previous Apple administration.

Thus the 21st century success of Apple is as much the fruit of Tim Cook’s and Jonathan Ive’s labours as it is Steve Jobs’s.

Absolutely agree. OutdoorAppDeveloper has a dreamy vision that reads more like a professor's speech on the first day of a biography class about Jobs or the marketing copy for a documentary about him. 

Cook, Ive and the team have performed brilliantly. They're not Jobs and they smartly never tried to be.

Gates knew when to go. I wonder if Jobs would have known when it was time. If the hero worshippers are right about who he was, it doesn't seem so.

We and OutdoorAppDeveloper really don't have any idea what they are working on behind those walls. 

Getting rid of a small ( dimensionally) model would be a mistake. 

You have a choice. Its name is Android.

It's all political theater EU style. it's not going to happen nor should it despite what some of you think.

Maybe they're tired of working for a company that claims to protect user privacy but instead wants to install spyware on users' devices.

That's great. They can easily get jobs at Google, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter because after all, we know they listen to their employees and let the employees make the work rules.

The sense of entitlement in some you making comments similar to yours is typical of the naive and inexperienced who have a very limited range of vision. It doesn't extend beyond the length of your arm or so it would seem.

Too much crime for me at a time.
I feel further and further distanciated from my  gear demographic because of the apparent fraudulent, violent, child pornographic, borderliner, excessive wealth-oriented and self-appreciating nature of my peer group.

Sell everything you own and move to a Siberian outpost. You won't have to worry about what your  gear demographic is up to there. They don't exist. You can let go of all your angst and return to your natural roots and spend time trying to write better satire than this morning's effort.
