Cook has been amazing at scaling the company and sailing Apple thru some very difficult times that would have derailed other companies. Apple is a gigantic company yet people buy it's products to feel unique. It's an amazing dichotomy. He is an amazing CEO. Jobs not only picked great products but people too.

More than 90% of modern civilization's economic output per capita was created after the industrial revolution, but everyone would agree that without the industrial revolution, we wouldn't have modern economies. Similarly, I think everyone agrees that without Jobs, we wouldn't have today's Apple.

No disrespect to Mr. Cook and his formidable achievements, but A LOT of the „value“ increase comes from the monetary policies in the zero interest rate economy.

We’re at higher rates than when Cook took over.

How does buying Apple products make someone feel unique?
