Asking as a non American. Why would this matter to me? Why should I care about this?

Apple has an enormous global footprint. Their devices are made in China, India, and Vietnam, and source parts from basically everywhere. More than half of Apple's revenue comes from outside the US and there are 1.5 billion iPhones in use across the world (somewhat larger than the population of the US).

It’s not novel to critique or idolize anyone, especially given the roll undergoing the changing of the guard. It’s not like hundreds of managers are changing.

They are all still there.

But here’s to hoping that change comes. Apple is already a rich company. But isn’t that boring?

Many companies have quite a shakeup in management around big changes like this, though I’m not sure how Apple operates internally. Maybe they are an exception to the rule?

You can argue that Warhol never made anything that qualifies as art.

Mister Ternus, please create an Apple TV.

It will redefine the way we watch TV and that's exactly your job, to make something truly unique. And I'll tell you the secret sauce, the remote. I know you'll come up with something totally different, a marvel of engineering that will drop jaws around the world. Different aluminum colors and extra flat? Check. But that's not what this new generation needs. They want to watch tiktok and instagram in their TV and nobody right now offers an out-of-this-world experience. Social media consumption on a big screen. Excel at that and you will sell millions at whatever price you set.

My credit card is ready...
