The IPO on OpenAI would have been an incredible money making opportunity for everyone involved, cant believe they didnt just keep the status quo until then.lol

[–] SquirrelVicious@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's a name of the successor that's either underlined or crossed out.

SUCCESSION REFERENCE?

[–] chairman_steel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’m not going to read the article, but I am going to tell everyone Dua Lipa is going to be the new CEO of Apple based on the thumbnail.

[–] sungazer69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Doesn't seem too hard to be an apple CEO. Just kind of keep the ship going where it's going?

Their next phone will probably be an iPhone, their next tablet will probably be an iPad and their next laptop will probably be a MacBook. So the CEO just needs to get on stage and say they're the best and fastest ever. Paycheck.

Super complicated stuff. Lol

I always thought Craig was the best one to take the reigns from Steve. Younger more "hip" guy, more product focused, runs the Mac show. Definitely hope the next guy is more product and image focused rather than numbers focused like Cook. I can see why a board would choose Cook but I never understood why Jobs chose Cook.

I hope so. Cook is and has always been underwhelming as CEO and spokesman. His presentations at any event always always seem canned, stiff, awkward, and non-credible. He just rehashes the same old lines (e.g., "we can't wait ...."). He never seems convincing, like he's just going thru the motions. He's terrible as a spokesman for Apple.

He’s a JIT guy

Not been a fan of Tim Cook. Felt like he didn’t innovate or take any risks during his tenure. Went back to having a billion different models of iphones and ipads, etc.

GOOD MORNANGGGGGG

GPTSteve taking over

Putting my money on Jeff Williams as Apple's next CEO. Sure, Apple's fame rests on design, software, and lately, their high-performance silicon. But let's not forget, at its core, Apple is all about hardware manufacturing. Operations, sourcing, inventory, and production are the heartbeat of Apple. The CEO needs to be a master of these domains.

That's exactly why Steve Jobs handed the baton to Tim Cook, and why Jeff Williams was the hero behind the Apple Watch's success. Plus, since 2023, Apple's elite team of around 20 industrial designers has been reporting to COO Jeff Williams. Seems like a clear hint, doesn't it?

In a move guaranteed to surprise everyone, they're going to bring the OG assumed successor Scott Forstall back, and iOS 20 will be skeuomorphic fake wood and green felt everywhere.
