Apple no longer has the hunger to get things right. It's sad as I've enjoyed the ride since 1995 but without Steve and Jony, and without having a "early acceptance stage" leaders like, but instead having a "late acceptance stage" leader (Tim the accountant), this is par for the corporate lifecycle - nothing lasts forever and Apple is now just as bureaucratic as IBM, Sperry, DEC, etc. The key thing about bureaucracies that reach this point is they become more interested in preserve bureaucratic power and privilege than focusing on customer mission. It's been repeated so many times you'd think someone would finally figure out and implement the formula to prevent it, but not ever Apple has.
