#22I would point out that the Apple Watch and AirPods are both great rather than dull products, but I strongly suspect the author here was not making a good faith attempt to analyze Tim Cook's product legacy.
Removing headphone socket under the premise of thinness just to force consumers into buying wireless ones was a genius move for their profits. They should have made them a bit easier to loose too.

#23The phone I bought from China eats Apple hardware for breakfast. It's got IP69 protection, only 7mm thick, a massive battery that charges incredibly quickly (4800mah). It's basically like an iPhone air but it only cost me about $500 (Motorola X70 Air)
When Apple embraces Silicon Carbide batteries I'm sure they're going to make amazing stuff.
It's not like they haven't impressed on the hardware side. If you look at something like the M4 iPad Pro which was released 2 years ago, there is no competition even close. Nor with their laptops.

I understand why some people get annoyed, but my jeans no longer get a phone bulge pattern worn into them and my headphone cords don't try to strangle me at the gym. For me these were both great innovations.

#26This reads like a particularly biased and hateful rage-infused hit piece by someone suffering from woke psyschosis.

#27I kind of want to flag this because it reads like dumb rage bait, but I'll comment instead. > While Apple certainly made boatloads of money during Cook's tenure, the company also steadily morphed into something unthinkable to company founders Jobs and Steve Wozniak: it became not just increasingly unethical... If you think Tim Cook is/was less ethical than Steve Jobs of all people, my only rational conclusion is that…
"Colligan attached an email he sent to Jobs in Aug. 2007, in which he told the late Apple exec that his idea was "likely illegal.""

Except it's got a mid-tier processor, and likely pretty under-performant cameras like most Motorola stuff? Compromises here.

That’s a whole lot of words that, when strung together, mean absolutely nothing. Good job.

It's pretty unhinged, I made it about three paragraphs before closing the tab. But sometimes even ragebait can be useful for the discussion in the comments, I suppose.
