I hope whoever Apple picks brings back the excitement to the company. Tim's great, but he's an ops guy at heart. Every single Apple event is "This is slightly better than the one before it".

"The successor knows the most vital priority to the company to Apple is the continuation of Watch bands."

“we have a long term plan in place for exponentially increasing SKUs every year”

[–] silentblender@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Dear Investors: don't worry. It's a very detailed plan.

[–] fancyhumanxd@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Apple doesn’t give a shit about investors

[–] NCBaddict@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Promote the Eldest Boy.

[–] Callofdaddy1@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I volunteer for the spot. I’ve been practicing my finger tip presses during zoom meetings for it.

[–] ChairmanLaParka@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I'm gonna be really bummed if the new CEO, by coincidence, doesn't have the name Johnny Appleseed.

[–] eyeswideocean@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Well we all know how Succession ended.

Tim: I would love to see Dua

Assistant, two hours later: Guess what? You’re now confirmed to go on interview with her, at her home, on her couch

Tim: A front row concert ticket is what I meant but this works too

Is it just me or does Apple feel like it’s heading in the complete opposite direction Steve Jobs would have taken it.

No, Steve's direction really wasnt THAT crazy in the 21st century Apple. It would be slightly different, the product stack would be simpler, but nothing revolutionary

[–] RoketRacoon@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Imo steve jobs would we hella proud of what apple has become today.

[–] Elmo-Tusk@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

He wouldn't know the way back to Cupertino if he uses his version of apple maps

Let’s be honest, the largest stockholders (Vanguard, Blackrock, and Berkshire Hathaway) will choose whomever will generate the largest return for them. When Tim Cook leaves, I promise you that what little of Apple’s core values remain will be sacrificed on the alter of creating more value for shareholders.

[–] MindFad@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It’ll be Jeff Williams, and Tim Cook’s enshittifaction of the product lines will probably continue to get worse with him at the helm.

[–] asscrackbanditz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

There will only be one Tim Apple

[–] Ionsife@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (20 children)

Apple bout to drop the tiM2

Doesn’t really matter these days, these companies just need a face but you have zero impact or power as a CEO now.

[–] Suspicious_County_24@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I was angry when he became CEO after Steve died. Then realized I actually like this guy. I wish he stays. Even though I feel like we don’t need an Apple Car

[–] funkiestj@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Who is the Apple equivalent of theSecretary of Education?

[–] world-shaker@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (10 children)

It's amazing that OpenAI's board shit the bed so badly this past weekend that even Apple has to reassure people they have plans in place to not mess up major leadership changes.

Just toss jobs on the Golden Thone and we’re all good. May he guide us from the warp.

[–] Single-Radio@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It’s going to be John Ternus.

[–] totallwork@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Tim Cooked.

[–] bran_the_man93@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, it makes sense.

Apple has more assets and revenue than most of the countries in the world.

[–] ExtensionAd6173@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are we ready for the big return of Gil Amelio?

[–] karmicthreat@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

A sales and marketing guy will get put in charge and Steve will rise from his grave for vengeance.

[–] elmatador12@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Being inside a bigger corporation and getting some looks at succession planning, there really is A LOT of planning that goes into it. A surprising amount.

[–] Creepy_Boat_5433@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

the succession plan is robot Steve jobs
