Couldn't agree more. Cook deserves so much hate for what he did to Apple. I'm astounded people still worship Apple like nothing has changed at all.

All the changes under the Cook leadership are appalling and reveal what is definitely one of the worse character you can get as a leader. At this point even Bill Gates looks like a good guy in comparison.



The fundamental problem is TC and most of his immediate subordinates lack creative vision and the boldness to experiment and move beyond past wins that SJ shepherded. Apple needs a new leader who is both cool and interested in daring to take greater leaps of enriching the lives of users. First steps should be to give access to PCB circuit diagrams like computers of the 1970's, access to individual components for purchase by anyone through an "Amazon"-like supply chain, and access to security chip purchase and "recalibration" for verified owners. The works of art used as workhorses should be like an old Mercedes: able to keep going for years and treasured rather than fragile and disposable.
