Cook presided over the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon, giving Apple products a performance-per-watt advantage neither Intel/AMD nor other ARM vendors have yet caught up with. Surely that counts for something.

    I’m sure he, a 70-something exec, had a huge role in that engineering feat 🙄 Probably just said “yes” when actual value-adding employees pitched him the idea. Bravo, rich white man. Another amazing achievement 👏

    His legacy is giving Trump gold while bending the knee to America’s killer.

    Jobs put in place a 10 year plan right before he left in 2010, the ARM switch was one of the final parts of that plan. This is why right around 2018/19 going into the ARM switch you see a bunch of foundering and weird shit like bringing back the Touch Bar and vaporware products like the charging mat. Because they literally had no fucking clue what to do for the next 10 years and there was a battle going on between the UX first people and the marketing first people. We can see who won by how many ads are being added and the whole Siri AI fiasco.
