People love to give Jony Ive and Steve Jobs credit for the iPhone but no one gives Tim Cook credit for keep making the iPhone the most desirable product in the world in 2022.
- shapefrog 4y agoA lot of people like to give Leonardo da Vinci credit for the Mona Lisa, but no one gives credit to Laurence des Cars (President of Louvre) for getting 10million people to visit to see it in 2022.
- cypress66 4y agoThe louvre doesn't repaint the Mona Lisa each year. They don't even directly make the exhibitions on rotation that keeps people returning.
- shapefrog 4y agoThey constantly do work on The Mona Lisa and even put a new frame on it in the 1970s because people were holding it wrong. They dont track the version number in the same way, but I would speculate that it is The Mona Lisa 68(s)
- akmittal 4y agoThis comment make it seem like iPhone is suddenly desirable in 2022. iPhone has been leader since the beginning, it does take effort to stay at top but i wonder credit goes to Tim Cook for that.
- kube-system 4y agoWell, maybe from around 2010-2012 or so. In the first couple years, the iPhone was a product looking for a market that didn’t yet exist.
- dopeboy 4y agoIt takes a massive amount of effort to stay at the top. Yes there’s inertia and lock-in and walled gardens that contribute to folks staying in the apple ecosystem. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
