Cook is known to be monk-like, so the relative quiet of this announcement is no surprise. Hopefully Ternus takes some risks and revisits some things from scratch (the OS layer)[0] rather than continuing down the path of more service add-ons that Cook seemed to be excitedly geared up for. Personally, it's worth noting that Ternus did -not- directly oversee the Vision Pro, which is encouraging. [0] As Steve Jobs said in 2005: "OS X is the most advanced operating system on the planet and it has set Apple up for the next 20 years." How incredibly prophetic that 21 years later, MacOS is suddenly showing its age.

  Right. We're not still running Windows Vista, or RedHat. Time for a rethink.

>Cook is known to be monk-like How so? Genuinely curious, I've got no idea what he's like as a person.

  >"I've got no idea what he's like as a person" Case in point? From what I've read he's reserved, keeps a very low profile, and is dedicated to his work. We know next to nothing about his personal life.

    He reportedly had to essentially be dragged into a new home, as he was still staying in a small apartment nearby the HQ even after Jobs passed away. Dude just didn't give a shit about anything but Apple.

I don’t know if I would go so far as to say “monk-like”. He’s a college football die-hard. But he is a very chill dude. I wish more tech execs were in Cook’s mold. Reserved. Controlled. Calm. No Twitter beefs, no overt politics, no blow-ups behind closed doors.

  > no overt politics Excuse me? Giving a literal gold trophy to the God-Emperor Trump is not politics?

    No, it's just a business tax. Do you see Cook getting on twitter and parroting the god emperor's topic of the day?

      I saw Cook going to the private screening of the Melania biopic on the same day Alex Pretti was killed.

      It's not a tax, Tim Apple gave him the gold personally, with cameras in tow, he did not submit the ACH data to the IRS. It's bending the knee. Why degrade himself, what can Trump do that their trillions cannot cushion?
      - denkmoon 6mo ago
        Same difference. "I spent millions/billions that could have been avoided because I did not want to appear to degrade myself" doesn't sell very well to stakeholders. The CEO should do what is in the best interests of the company, and in the US when Mr Trump is president, it is in the best interests of the company to bend the knee.
