It's incredibly hard being the successor of steve jobs.

Tim Cook has been a surprisingly great CEO of Apple since we lost Steve Jobs. Apple could have gone either way in late 2011. But the company’s value has soared. One thing I really appreciate about Tim Cook is his integrity regarding his values and his maintenance of Apple’s core values. But I think the challenges of our time are just beginning.

"His spirit will always be at the foundation of the company"

Steve was a visionary, Tim is a businessman.

Okay so here's my opinion, I loved Apple from the get go, I fell in love with their culture and way of business, sure, most recently it may seem like they have run out of ideas but can't that be said about other companies? Everyone seems to be taking a hard hit on Apple purely because they're not "innovating", but seem to forget that apple changed the smart phone era, and made it revolutionary.

Technological advancements today are at an all time high, there are so many things out there today that it's hardly surprising for consumers to see something magical anymore, until we hit that bazinga moment like the iPhone did in 2007, I think a lot of people will give Apple stick for doing minor improvements to their brand. Personally, I think they're doing a great job, making existent Apple products better and paving the way for the future.

That's just my opinion, I've owned countless Apple products and have not had a single issue with either them, in fact, I tend to have more issues with an android device. But, each to their own, we should all just be excited that we live in an era where everything is advancing, my next wish, better improvements and wireless charging over networks.

Steve would be so proud of how Tim has been presenting Apple these past few years.

[Armpit]

Steve innovates, Tim makes them better

[ianluigilastra]

steve would be mad seeing tim's shirt collar is not properly placed on his coat

[marksnexus]

It’s just a shame Steve’s legacy is not carried on with the quality of products and innovation.

[goldfish]

Tim is excellent. Such a great person and so intelligent.

[joebarksdale]

Charlie always looks so exited to be with his interviewees

[kingdomcitizenship]

Sounds like he gets Steve's vision. Perfect successor

[kqrkvdu]

What i like about cook is his loyalty to steve jobs

[bxtgd]

Steve Jobs = Steve has a job
Tim Cook = Doesn't invent anything, just cooks

[sblack]

He once said the best manager is the technical guy who never wanted to be a manager but realized if he/she wanted things done well they had to take over themselves. Boeing used to be run by people like that. Engineers like Alan Mullaly and Phil Condit. That ended and was replaced by pure profit motivation and we all see what happened. The only difference is that when Apple f’d up after Jobs left nobody died.

Then, then he brought in a stylus for the iPad..

[workhardforit]

"He stood for innovation" yes Tim thanks for stating the obvious. YOU STOOD FOR PROFITS. The fuck is up with you people? Headphone jack gone, new macbooks only having USB C and no more MagSafe -- that ain't courage, you guys feel like you're the gods of tech just because of Apple. What a shame, I can see Apple circling the drain unlike when Steve was alive, it's like Apple was invincible. Now even Apple fans are already starting to get so frustrated with the brand they so dearly love.
