Prediction..... Tim Cook's tenure at Apple will not be remembered particularly positively.
Mostly taking safe paths and pushing odd products which don't sell well.
-Do people want an Advanced Pencil? .....doooo they?
-Siri AI... where is it? This should have dominated a year ago. Missed opportunity.
-Vision Pro, being cut back because of lackluster sales. Almost all buzz has died very fast.
-Apple Car project, killed after billions spent, and right as real Autonomous driving is reality
-iPhone and iPad, nearly identical to what they were a decade ago
Tim seems nice. But lacks... Fire?
Maybe I'm wrong. Just a hot take.
Coinbase and Bloom Tech illustrate the dangers of starting a startup in a regulated industry. When I was a kid I used to think that regulators (and prosecutors) were merely trying to protect everyone. What other motive could they have? But boy are they not.
