It’s a popular trope to say that he doesn’t know what he’s doing, but just because he’s affable doesn’t mean he’s not sharp.

It’s a popular trope to say that he doesn’t know what he’s doing, but just because he’s affable doesn’t mean he’s not sharp.
- sgt 2y agoEddy Cue is definitely sharp. Same with the rest of the top Apple leadership like Federighi etc. A subset of the executives is obviously the "good old boys" and will remain there nearly forever.
- zombiwoof 2y agoHe manages like a spoiled child throwing tantrums and requiring everyone in the office , everyday if he could get away with it and he’s trying He’s old school for sure What’s funny is no other company would hire him. He’s a bully
- talldayo 2y agoI suspect he knows more than he lets on, and guises it as "learning" to trick regulators into giving him more time. In fact, considering that Apple's business strategy isn't public I think that's the only possible explanation unless he actually is unaware of Apple's overall business plans and is being filled-in on a need-to-know basis. Eddy Cue is directly aware of how Apple's policy blocks competitors, outrages customers and provokes market regulators. Whatever he's learning doesn't seem to be related to what users want.
- musicale 2y ago> outrages customers Customers vote with their wallets. So far the outrage hasn't been enough to stop them from giving tons of money to Apple.
- talldayo 2y agoConversely, customers actually were outraged with many models of iPhones and Macbooks whether it was bendgate or the Butterfly keyboard fiasco. The lesson? Apple customers will buy whatever they're presented, because they do not percieve any way to effectively encourage change in the business they patronize.
