“Again, there’s Tim, figuratively clothing himself in the quotes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monday. Clothing Apple’s home page in it. Then showing up to Trump’s inauguration like the words of MLK can do the work that he will not.”

“Tim Cook Is Failing Us” “So yes, I do hold Tim to a higher standard than these other robber barons, but that’s because Tim claims he holds himself to those high standards. I am measuring him against the ruler that he has provided and he comes up short.” https://joe-steel.com/2025-01-25-Tim-Cook-Is-Failing-Us.html

@marcoarment Tim Cook is two faced like the rest of them. He has more than enough money to last 10 lifetimes. He should stand up to Trump and if he worries Trump will attack Apple then he should step down but do the right thing.

Wait till the Tariffs hit Apple's imports or will Trump not put tariffs on the people who kiss his ring.

@samsethi @marcoarment Apple could trivially eat those tariffs themselves for a couple years. The fact that he’s worried at all about a money thing is bullshit. What’s the point of being the richest company in the world with the biggest pile of cash reserves if you’re beholden to any minor inconvenience that shuffles into office?

@vjgoh @marcoarment Apple market share of phones dropped last year. No new innovation. Missed on AI.

Apple unintelligence is not working. iPhone 17 is said to be slimmer and better camera. No folding phones, no meta sunglasses equivalent. Time for Tim to step down. He is the Steve Ballmer of Apple.
