He is a businessman who made the company bigger than Jobs could.

But he is not an aestheticist as much as Jobs was. See how Cook has been destroying the faces of iPhone and Macs, which had a huge dent or what is ironically called a "dynamic" island on the top of the screen. Back of iPhones is desparetely ugly.

Also he has not been presenting what makes us exicted. Apple's Siri is forgotten so that he has to rely on Google's Gemini instead of developing their own. While Samsung's Galaxy has been deploying its 7th foldable phone, Apple has done none. Leaks are usual so we can tell what he will show at its annual conference well before he acutually does and it gives us no surprise at all.

In a short term, "what Cook's Apple has innovated?" -- I guess zero. Rather, deteriorated.

As a long-standing user who started computer life with Performa 5220 and now run M3 MAX Macbook Pro to develop web apps, current Apple is never what I think it should be.

Making the company bigger is great. But what about their products and services? These are also where Cook has been leading to. He seems to forget Job's aphorism, "Stay hungry, stay foolish."

1) This is a dupe.

2) The submission title has been editorialized, contrary to HN guidelines.

3) The submission title is false. Cook will remain CEO until September.
