  • Apple COO Jeff Williams retiring later in 2025, replaced by SVP Sabih Khan

    Those shifting tariffs do put a stress on all levels of the supply chain. Better stop while you can. As all here I wish him the best.

    Kahn took over the SVP of operations role in 2019 and will be the new COO. As such, he's next in line if Cook ever needs to step down, just as Cook was when Steve was in charge.

    No, the new COO is not next in line. There was never a "Cook is COO, he will do" moment. Cook only got the title due to him at the time being the best!
    Same goes for the next CEO.

  • Tim Cook isn't going to get fired, and Steve Jobs isn't rolling over in his grave

    If you want to draw a massive contrast between Tim Cook as CEO of the world's most valuable company and ...

    Cook did indeed take control when Apple was #1. Now Apple is #3. Other companies have outperformed Apple on his watch and some have moved past Apple.

    Cook worked with Trump 1 but didn't take note of the changed political landscape. Instead he stopped using American chips and offshored the final core component. A move that didn't boost Mac sales (products are nice though) but exposed Apple in full to Trump 2. Cook had 8 years to prepare for tariffs but walked in the wrong direction. Same on AI where Apple did Neural Engine and then used it only for photo adjustments.

    I do however agree that we can't blame Cook for working with an elected president and he was fantastic as a COO. He made Apple scale.

  • What Apple products will get hit the hardest by Trump's new tariff orders

    nubusnubus
    No more drama. Set those tariffs for the next 3 years and let business do business.

  • Apple pulls the curtain back on durability testing of iPhone, iPad, and more

    Google did show their Pixel testing earlier this year including a "place tablet in backpack". 
    Nice to see multiple vendors investing in this area.

    BH has 300 million shares in AAPL. It is more than 20% of the total holdings. I don't think you can say that Buffett doesn't like Apple.

    If shareholders are displeased, they're looking at about the last five minutes, which is ridiculous.

    Cook's the right guy, in the right job, at the right time. Who's your pitch for his replacement?
    BH dropped 2/3 of their stocks. I wouldn't say BH is pleased with his performance. Cook took the job when Apple was #1. It is now #3. With tariffs and the Google case it could be #4.

    Shareholders do look at 5 minutes and it can be ridiculous. The CEO of the #1 most valuable company in Europe 2024 lost his job earlier this year due to stock performance. With Cook - lack of products, lack of diversification, and stalling revenue.

    Pitch for replacement... 75% of GDP and 96% of the population is outside US. Microsoft, Adobe, Google, Nvidia, AMD, Tesla, Broadcom, Qualcomm, Coca Cola (another BH favorite) - all multinational corporations with a CEO raised outside US. I would however go with Sam Altman. Not due to AI but for his mindset.
