So now the lead of one failed product is taking over another failed product?  What could possibly go wrong?

Vision Pro has been a complete failure for Apple.  Overpriced.  No developers.  No one cares about AR.  It doesn't solve any problem.  Walk into an Apple Store and no one pays attention to them.  For decades, no one has cared about AR because they don't want goggles on their head.  Just like no one wanted to wear 3D glasses to watch TV and 3D TVs are non-existent.  So why would anyone spend $3500 for a heavy pair of goggles on their head?

And now this guy is going to fix Siri?  The same Siri that Apple has pretty much abandoned for the past 14 years?  Gets things wrong constantly and it is inconsistent on the Mac, iPhone, AppleTV and the speaker.  Good luck with that.

Apple Intelligence has been a huge disappointment so far.  Siri still makes constant mistakes on simple dictation for a text message.  Siri, do you want me to send this?  NO!

Totally not surprised this happened although I didn't expect it to take this long. Tim Cook is the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. It's worth recounting this tale from ancharlesn said:

Totally not surprised this happened although I didn't expect it to take this long. Tim Cook is the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. It's worth recounting this tale from an urgent meeting Cook had called:

"One day back then, he convened a meeting with his team, and the discussion turned to a particular problem in Asia. “This is really bad,” Cook told the group. “Someone should be in China driving this.” Thirty minutes into that meeting Cook looked at Sabih Khan, a key operations executive, and abruptly asked, without a trace of emotion, “Why are you still here?”

Khan, who remains one of Cook’s top lieutenants to this day, immediately stood up, drove to San Francisco International Airport, and, without a change of clothes, booked a flight to China with no return date, according to people familiar with the episode. The story is vintage Cook: demanding and unemotional."
