There is some possibility that Tim Cook will resign or be fired.
This can be a very good thing or a very bad thing.
For this to be a good thing the shareholders would need to agree to a technical CEO rather than a marketing one and that comes with the wee lil' issue of raining on their AI parade. If Tim Cook goes his replacement will be even worse.
As much as I dislike Steve Jobs personally, Apple needs someone at the helm who is product and customer experience oriented like he was. Obviously, technical know-how is good, but someone exclusively technical would flounder. Tim Cook is a supply chain guy. His replacement would almost certainly be someone marketing oriented, since innovation no longer drives Apple. Sales do.
It can be a very good thing if they try to actually become a normal company and not hype-serf.
So, it's not going to be good then.
It would make no difference at all.
