Then keep him in the c suite running the logistics, not spearhead a giant company and run their reputation in the ground. This is what you get when you don't keep the creatives in the c suite.

The work done by the hardware dept to build CPUs has been a great achievement though. While this started under Jobs, Apple now arguably makes the best CPUs in the market. Competing with AMD/Intel is no easy feat.

His biggest failures, as I’ve heard it, revolve around the fact that he only cares about making short-term profits and doesn’t understand human beings. Steve Jobs did a lot of telling him to go fuck himself back in the day, to the great benefit of kot only the company, but to the customers. Why he was put in as the next guy to lead the company is beyond me.

RAM prices exploding only means Apple takes a tiny hit to their profit margin per device, considering how inflated they were in the first place.

Apple Vision Pro seemed doomed from the get go, but they really made it worse by not launching a cheaper headset with Air branding half a year or a year in to actually drive market share enough to make it worthwhile for developers. Could've given it an A series CPU since we now know it works in a laptop so why not in XR or whatever they're calling this.

I think Vision Pro was doomed regardless. Go back and watch the iPhone announcement, then the Vision Pro announcement. Every single person in the auditorium when Jobs is presenting the iPhone is thinking of the thousand things they can do with that device. In the Vision Pro announcement, there’s none of that energy. If they released something that left zero question as to its purpose, the price could sit at $3K and they wouldn’t be able to make them fast enough. Instead we got an Oculus that won’t support most games and costs 6 times as much.

They are from the Apple clan of Japan, or wherever part of China Apple is from, which has a rich history and leadership of the clan is periodically passed to a successor. This dates back to the fall of the great Steve Apple who was killed by Jewish space lasers that gave him cancer. There is a long voting process involved to select the new leader of the Apple clan and dedicated followers wait patiently for a white air drop that signals the new clan leader has been chosen. As an additional fact John Apple's grandmother was from clan Wutang which has made this choice highly controversial.

The apple never falls far from the tree.

Hilarious that you got downvoted into the negative for daring to voice a dissenting opinion. Truly, Lemmy is a child of Reddit.

Edit: Back above zero! I take it back, maybe I spoke too soon?

Even Wozniak has said that while Jobs wasn’t a good engineer, he did know enough to be strategically savvy.

Edited in hindsight for clarity.
