what are you people talking about? Cook is the best thing that happened to apple. Look at their sales. They are killing the laptop market - likely a complete dominance in the next years. same with the iphone - first year to be the biggest phone seller in a long time.

the switch to ARM and their M silicon was one of the best moves in computing in years.

The M silicon is real, but Nokia, a company that specialized in rubber products, was doing low-power ARM 30 years ago, and the stage was set by His Jobsness with Mach binaries and Rosetta. Tim Cook was excitedly waving his hands in the last event video about some kind of evaporative cooling mechanism in the latest low-end iPhone. He has completely missed the plot.

At least 15 years ago (I haven't bothered to look since), you could actually still buy Nokia toilet paper.
