Which executive gets Apple back to innovating instead of playing catchup? 

Ok, I'll bite. How is Apple not innovating today? How is it playing catchup? 

Cook has done wonders for the company, like it or not, and the call for the mythical "product focused CEO" is just silly. Any replacement to Cook will have pros and cons. There's always the chance we get someone we've never even heard of.

Apple used to invent product categories now it’s playing catchup with product categories that have been released for years by other companies such as with the Apple Vision Pro and iPhone Fold. 

Are you under the impression that Apple invented the personal computer, portable MP3 player, tablet, smartphone, home streaming box, or VR headset? They invented none of those things, simply innovated existing products to be simple and more useful in everyday life, which made regular people want them over tech-savvy nerds who had the technical knowledge to make them work. MAYBE VisionPro is a flop, but that’s yet to be seen. Remember the iPhone was an $800 unsubsidized phone with little capability when it first launched. Too expensive for 90% of the population, much like VisionPro.

I never understood why Apple didnt start with asking me what Apple Watch size / band I currently use. Cant be too hard for them to figure out which size braided solo loop for me to buy if I have a 44mm watch with L sport band on the third hole. Users who dont currently own an Apple Watch can be prompted to borrow a friends or start with household items. This seems like an over complication of a simple problem.
