A couple of iPhone accessories and an extension of the iPhone processor to Macs isn't really making the case for Cook as a "product guy" much less a product genius. His two big swings at the fence, the car and this AVP monstrosity, are both duds. Elsewhere he's just riding Jobs' coat tails.
- ericmay 2y ago“Tim Cook isn’t Steve Jobs” isn’t the greatest argument, and it wouldn’t be one I would make because clearly Tim Cook isn’t a product guy of the same caliber as Steve Jobs, but under Cook Apple has performed extraordinarily well, and they’ve introduced some great products along the way and continued to improve those as well. I don’t think that makes him only a “supply chain” and “money printer” guy. This is just a trope that’s been repeated since he took over. I’d also challenge you in your comparison about the Apple Car and Apple Vision Pro, because one of those were actual products that shipped to market, and even so the Apple Vision Pro hasn’t been out very long so it’s not really fair to say it has failed or that it was a dud. It could be, but I think if so it’s less so to do with the price and more so to do with the AR/VR industry itself being a dud.
