- waffle_maniac 5y agoTim’s run at the company has been about building out services and not innovation. Maybe it makes more sense to hire a designer like Ive as CEO.
- Closi 5y agoBuilding out hugely profitable services as the lifecycle of technology refresh slows has been a huge part of Apple’s recent success. Also making huge gambles on things like M1 / Apple Silicon show that Apple is still innovating and leading the way - even in spaces that were starting to be stagnant. Let’s also not forget hugely profitable hardware lines under Tim such as Apple becoming the number 1 biggest watch retailer by revenue, and dominating the wireless earphones market (which it pretty much established itself too).
