  Hardware* engineer. Background in robot arms. Molded as an apple exec overseeing airpods, mac, ipad, and watches.

  I wouldn’t assume that a chosen successor would take a radical new direction.

    Yeah but he might be more interested in making things work WELL, rather than box-ticking lists of shiny new features that nobody asked for, like someone from Sales might do.

  He’s a hardware guy at Apple. The company that once removed everything from their physical interface but one button. The company that created a proprietary screw shape and licensed the companion driver to prevent users or small time repair shops from fixing their phones. The company that removed the independent headphone jack and replaced it with a lightning to aux adapter that hogged the only charging port instead. The company that put a glass plate on the back of the phone so that you had two surfaces to shatter and leave sharp edges to cut your hand on. Yeah… I don’t expect great things from him.

    You know nothing about Ternus then, the guy responsible for the Neo, and the redesign of the mbp.

  Being good at engineering and being good at running a company are different skills

    Being good at running a company and being innovative are also two different things.

      Thank god. The media played it up as a tragedy for Apple but tbh thank goodness.
