Does no on else find this gross, and at the systemic root of wtf is wrong in our country?  Seems like a nice guy you'd root for but then no.  Just another greedy fuc*ing cog in the wheel.  Don't really think he moves the needle either, other than a somewhat impressive Jobs facsimile come wwdc.  Bullshit human being unless I'm really missing something.

Like Steve Jobs the guy doesn’t get paid a salary. Selling stocks is his income. Stocks are only worth something when cashed in.

You’re reading far too much into this than there is to read.

Not entirely true, he does get paid a salary and other compensation, though the stock awards are by far the largest portion of his pay:

Apple says that Cook earned $63,209,845 during 2023, that’s roughly 28% higher than the initially planned $49 million compensation. It’s still down around 36% compared to what he earned in 2022, though. 

• Salary: $3,000,000

• Stock Awards: $46,970,283

• Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation: $10,713,450

• All Other Compensation: $2,526,112

Couldn’t agree more. And I have been saying this since he was on his post for 2 yrs - only to get banned from sites likes this.
Thanks for spreading the word that should be heard.

Nah. He's responsible for growing Apple into the $2 Trillion juggernaut that it is today. His compensation is couch change to Apple. The bulk is stock awards, the value from which is largely dependent on his performance, and as any AAPL owner knows, has grown massively under his tenure. "Don't really think he moves the needle", my ass.

You realize Jobs was worth somewhere in the ballpark of $10 Billion when he passed, right? Cook is worth a fraction of that and has clearly stated he intends to donate the vast majority of his wealth to charity, and has been doing just that.

So, yeah, you are missing something.

Sightly thinner and slightly bigger screen. Yep, I'll hang onto my Apple Watch Series 6 for another year. Can't complain, Apple has done my wallet a favour once again with such an iterative and unimaginative update.

Well I wouldn't call a 30% thinner screen "slightly thinner." To me, 30% is pretty substantial. It's a hell of a lot thinner than my Ultra.

Read it again.

LOL every single photo caption says 'iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro" — nearly impossible to tell which is which at a glance.

I hope this works well, is flexible, and that there is real usable spam filtering and more reliable cross-device filters in Mail. Currently I have to filter everything server-side on my cPanel-based web server, and it sucks. 

Also, some feature parity with iOS/iPadOS — like being able to sort by sender, which you can only do on the Mac! So annoying. 

Lastly, I'm wondering why Mac Mail doesn't pre-cache content in downloaded messages. On a slow internet connection, just switching to a new unread message can take a few seconds just to display. This seems completely unnecessary. 

I want to love Mail despite all my frustrations with it, so hoping this is a bigger overhaul than just the category sorting and summary stuff (another welcome change!).
