SteveJobs vision for Apple came true. Apple success is based on an outward vision, innovation and execution. Steve had two out of three in spades. Tim owned execution! Apple supply chain execution was all Tim Cook; now Apple’s second legacy.
Apple’s next leader is where to next focus and attention has turned. But wait! Not so quick. Don’t be so quick to act on cue. You’ll miss something.
Recent shuffling of deck chairs in a decade long program to bring Apple’s next big thing to market is emblematic. No next emergent leader after Tim Cook has surfaced. Apple’s insidious and inward focus on its just released CSAM plan to invade customer privacy with iOS level surveillance is simply appalling.
It is as if a committee has analyzed Apple and long dwelled, too long! Paralyzed by inability to lead, we are seeing come out of Apple policy-
driven edicts. AppStore knee jerk changes to wit just how tin eared the committee form of management truly has gone customer deaf. AAPL has lost its strategic vision, its outlook, goodwill and its mission.
AAPL stock no longer holds value, store of currency of its flagship iPhone diminishing market share. Yes its time to sell high! This high point in Apple history is not prepared for a world of climate chaos, geopolitical upheaval and economic hard times ahead. Apple has nothing to offer, not a thing the world needs and little in the way it operates as a gatekeeper to be able to help the world.
Empires fall slowly, fail in obscurity and the scale of the calamity ahead insurmountable. Years will be ticks on the hands of Apple’s watch as the world of success and profits it knew fade into legacy. Legacy goes from success to struggle to hard failure. Don’t you be one who gets caught holding too tightly to the dream that has been AAPL.
Its been a fabulous wild ride. SteveJobs gave the world a fever dream its still living. Dream’s over. Steve’s gone. Tim shortly to exit. Both walked away with Billions. Now about that fever…best take care of your self!
