Timmy, instead of taking credit for Job's work, why not establish some "visionary" work yourself? Siri, once the stand-out, visionary leader - is nearly dead-last. Frankly, it sucks. Your watch has 8 boring faces. Mac Mini has been bastardized and abandoned. The Mac Pro, once an example of design, is abandoned. Apple is HUGE!! Surely you can work on more than 1 thing at a time. Yes, your new speaker sounds good, but it's hamstrung by Siri (did I mention it still sucks?). The Apple watch is coming out with new "limited edition bands" for $250+, so friggin what? How many people buy those, when a functional band works just as well for 10% that cost. Leather is NOT a luxury item, you do know it comes from cows, right? How about you quit with the politics and alienating 50% of your customer base, and focus on the product instead? Jobs shared many of your same political viewpoints, yet managed to keep out of politics and ran a company very, very well. Perhaps you should take a que, as Apple's stock has been pretty stagnant in comparison since you took the helm. There is so much work to be done (Mac line is old, obsolete - AppleTV line is woefully ignored, Apple Watch has so much undeveloped potential, wtf is going on with Siri and why have you allowed Google to kick your butt? Ipads are practically a commodity, yet the advancements in the iPhone are not migrating to the iPad. iPad Pro is vitually dead, why? Focus on your key businesses.

The Mac Mini was never intended to be a performance workhorse, it was intended to be a basic desktop so that a person could get into the Mac universe economically and learn what it had to offer; and with the intro price of ~$500, and possible upgrade, it was a very attractive offer. Today, you pay ~$600-800 for a non-upgradable, poor performing desktop that is simply non-competitive against similar competitor brands. My original i5 Mac Mini was $499, bumped it to 16 GB and it's amazing, added a 256GB SDD to make a 750GB Fusion, and it's a workhorse. How about bringing back the spirit the original (up until 2016) Mac Mini had? Allow users to upgrade memory, and add a second SSD or HDD. It's pretty inexcusable that my used 2012 i7 Mac Mini with 16 GB and a 1TB drive kicks the socks off of any i7 in ANY Mac Mini configuration you can buy today.

Amazon has used supercomputers and a huge AI to answer the age old question:
"What's more creepy than the monkey with cymbols toy that mysteriously claps for no reason?"

I mean, when you look at the Android market, and how Android (who owns ~80% market share); and see what they have done to make their product's use unsatisfying ..... /s

Imagine that, Samsung (who makes their own LCD screens) saves the best technology for themselves?

I guess one is supposed to act surprised?
