    I don’t think this new CEO is going to last more than a year. He has all the charisma of Gil Amelio.

    At least he shelved the Apple Vision headset. Hopefully he also canned the Apple Glasses and AirPods with camera that were rumored.

      I was thinking of Gil this morning, very much reminiscent.

      But wearables are like 3/4 of Apple’s strategy for the future and optical is a huge part of that and the Vision Pro is just them getting started, not them bowing out. They just want others to enter the space and start making these expensive mistakes so Apple doesn’t have to, including overcoming the social barrier of filming literally everything. It’s coming. Just like folks didn’t really resist social media, we’re not going to really resist this.

        It’s just Tim’s Newton. We’ll get something better in ten years, like we got the iPhone. But I don’t know that it will come from Apple unless we get someone more creative in the leadership role.

      I mean, why would he care? Either way he gets obscene amounts of money for at the least a lazy years worth of work

      Most prominent CEOs want a successor that fails because it makes them look better in retrospect.

      …nothing like the old CEO…
