Tim was promoted to chairman of the board. Who knows what strings he’s still pulling. Either way, I am so far very unimpressed with the new CEO. And not listening to Craig Frederighi (who probably should have been made CEO) puts him on my shitlist.
at apple, executive chairman is certainly a demotion from CEO. it seems that Cook wants to progressively retire.
i mean he launched a $400 budget laptop. i would say that was very impressive. and before that, he did the Apple Silicon transition (to the M1 chip).
i would be cautious of putting that much trust in people who are mainly just known for being very charismatic at presentations. it doesn’t necessarily mean they usually have good ideas, it just means they have flair. Frederighi was also the main driving force behind macOS becoming so locked down.
That transition was mostly a software problem — Federighi’s wheelhouse.
i guess i should have been more precise that he did the Apple Silicon chips themselves. i think how fast they are is incredible
