Doesn’t really matter these days, these companies just need a face but you have zero impact or power as a CEO now.

[–] totallwork@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tim Cooked.

[–] MindFad@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’ll be Jeff Williams, and Tim Cook’s enshittifaction of the product lines will probably continue to get worse with him at the helm.

Is it just me or does Apple feel like it’s heading in the complete opposite direction Steve Jobs would have taken it.

[–] AlternativeAward@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No, Steve's direction really wasnt THAT crazy in the 21st century Apple. It would be slightly different, the product stack would be simpler, but nothing revolutionary

I'm gonna be really bummed if the new CEO, by coincidence, doesn't have the name Johnny Appleseed.

[–] silentblender@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Dear Investors: don't worry. It's a very detailed plan.

[–] fancyhumanxd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Apple doesn’t give a shit about investors

[–] NCBaddict@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Promote the Eldest Boy.

[–] dodgeunhappiness@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I volunteer for the spot. I’ve been practicing my finger tip presses during zoom meetings for it.

[–] maxwon@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Tim: I would love to see Dua

Assistant, two hours later: Guess what? You’re now confirmed to go on interview with her, at her home, on her couch

Tim: A front row concert ticket is what I meant but this works too

There will only be one Tim Apple

[–] yourmomhatesyoualot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hope whoever Apple picks brings back the excitement to the company. Tim's great, but he's an ops guy at heart. Every single Apple event is "This is slightly better than the one before it".

[–] slingshotstoryteller@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Let’s be honest, the largest stockholders (Vanguard, Blackrock, and Berkshire Hathaway) will choose whomever will generate the largest return for them. When Tim Cook leaves, I promise you that what little of Apple’s core values remain will be sacrificed on the alter of creating more value for shareholders.

"The successor knows the most vital priority to the company to Apple is the continuation of Watch bands."

[–] tiberone@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“we have a long term plan in place for exponentially increasing SKUs every year”

[–] HereHaveAQuiz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

It will be Scott Forstall returning like the messiah

[–] kaukanapoissa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha! What is he doing these days, anyway…?

Well we all know how Succession ended.

[–] CycloneMonkey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's so detailed, even I'm on it somehow.

[–] Single-Radio@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s going to be John Ternus.

[–] bran_the_man93@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, it makes sense.

Apple has more assets and revenue than most of the countries in the world.

Are they growing another CEO in the basement like that show Foundation?

[–] kilravock_music_sws@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Are we ready for the big return of Gil Amelio?

[–] world-shaker@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (10 children)

It's amazing that OpenAI's board shit the bed so badly this past weekend that even Apple has to reassure people they have plans in place to not mess up major leadership changes.

[–] AmbitionExtension184@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Comparing the two is insane.

Just toss jobs on the Golden Thone and we’re all good. May he guide us from the warp.

[–] ExtensionAd6173@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

AI Steve Jobs.

[–] huejass5@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dua Lipa will be his successor

[–] milktanksadmirer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tim Cook ? You mean Tim Apple ?

[–] us1549@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We all know it's Craig Federighi. Just a matter of when
