RIP TIM APPLE
FRIENDSHIP WITH JOHN APPLE HAS BEGUN

>>108647696
There will never be another Steve Jobs, and nobody, not even Elon, will be as admired as he was by normalfags.

>Tim Apple, many people are calling him gay, the Tim Apple, many people are saying this.
>I saw him, I saw Tim, behind the P.F. Changs, sucking another man's penis, I saw him folks.
>In the parking lot. Disgusting.
>Tim Apple.
>Sucking a chinese guy.
>Really small penis. Believe me folks.
>Smallest penis I ever saw.
>Very disrespectful.
>He told me, he told me, he was making a deal with CHINA.
>Can you believe this?
>He told me he made a deal with CHINA, by sucking another man's penis.
>A chinese guy.
>That's a terrible deal.
>I told Tim Apple that was a terrible deal.
>That's a Sleepy Joe deal, very bad deal. We don't like that deal.
>Crocked deal. Not good.
>I'm gonna make better deal.
>A terrific deal.
>I told him. Tim Apple were going to make iPhone, transparent plastic. Colorful transparent plastic.
>We gonna see inside the phone.
>Very colorful. All the colors. Amazing colors.
>Colorful transparent iPhone. Beautiful iPhone with transparent colors. The best colors.
>And no CHINA.
>Tim Apple only sucking American penises.
>No more CHINA.
>McDonald's parking lot.
>American penis. Huge american penis.
>And we like that
>Don't we?
>We like that very much

WHY NO INDIAN CEO WTF???!!

>John Ternus is Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, reporting to CEO Tim Cook. John leads all hardware engineering, including the teams behind iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple Vision Pro, and more.
>Throughout his tenure at Apple, John has overseen hardware engineering work on a variety of groundbreaking products across every category. This included new product lines like iPad and AirPods, as well as many generations of products across Mac, Apple Watch, and iPhone.

>Ternus began his career as a mechanical engineer designing virtual reality headsets at Virtual Research Systems. He joined Apple in 2001 as a member of the product design team, working first on the Apple Cinema Display. In 2013, he was appointed vice president of hardware engineering under Dan Riccio, overseeing the development of AirPods, Mac and iPad.

>In 2020, he was also put in charge of iPhone hardware, previously overseen directly by Riccio. He was promoted to senior vice president of hardware engineering in 2021, replacing Riccio, and was put in charge of Apple Watch hardware in late 2022. Bloomberg News reported that Ternus was the "youngest member of Apple's executive team", and described him as "charismatic and well-liked". He had been widely reported by media to be the potential successor to Tim Cook as the company's next chief executive.

>Ternus has presented new hardware at several WWDC events, revealing refreshes of the iMac and MacBook Pro, the new 2018 iPad Pros, the iMac Pro and the completely redesigned 2019 Mac Pro. He has subsequently appeared as a regular presenter at Apple events.

This is the guy who gave the final approval to things like the butterfly keyboard and touch bar on Macs, the iPhone Air, the M chips, the Vision Pro, the discontinued Mac Pro and the MacBook Neo.

Still waiting for the iCircumciser.

i doubt anyone 'likes' jobs, bro. seeing someone and acknowledging they are/were successful or good at something isn't the same as liking or loving people, but for some reason on 4chan it means you worship them and want to get married. it gets pretty tiresome and i'm sick of pretending otherwise.

jobs was very good at what he did and turned apple around. if you watch those old apple conference things he is obviously working hard to convince people in way those other guys don't bother with, and it's in the face of a lot of personal, one to one to his face criticism which is not couched in gentle terms like he tried to do. i can respect that effort, but that doesn't mean i 'like' him, whereas musk often makes a point of being an abrasive asshole and deliberate troll. gates was always a faggot.

I mean if you look at things objectively and abstractly yeah but looking at it from INSIDE, like going into it with a pro apple perspective, this is all good stuff. apple build quality has been ridiculously good and the m chips are super efficient and all that, AND they could be way more hostile towards things like asahi than they have been at a hardware level.

It’s gonna be good to have a product guy leading Apple again. Apparently he was one of the people in the company who thought launching the Vision Pro was a bad idea, so there’s that. I just hope he doesn’t share the same blind spot for Apple’s obvious decline in software quality. Hopefully he makes that a top priority. Meanwhile Tim Apple will continue doing the dirty work of pretending to be friends with politicians so that they mostly leave the company alone.

Everything I've read about him sounds pretty good, so he might actually pull things together at last. Tim's wiki also seems to say he has always been in more of a management and operations guy, while John has actually designed and built things. Having someone that has actually worked on the products they sell is about as good as you can get.

>>108650116
I don’t think Craig ever really wanted the responsibility of being CEO. He seems pretty happy leading the software side of the company. Ternus should really get on his ass about software QA though.

>>108650259
That's pretty possible, sometimes the best creativity is made through having limitations or requirements and Ferrari can be pretty autistic about their designs. I've heard you can get a lifetime ban from buying their cars if you get one custom painted (obviously you can bypass through third party dealers but Ferrari dealers won't deal with you) and it's because they consider only certain colors to look good on certain cars, which is kinda based.

You don't have a tenure that long at a modern tech company without being some kind of fraud. And the way Apple production logistics work makes it very easy to blend in.

This is far more likely Cook realizing Silicon Valley is getting away with unprecedented levels of fraud thanks to the AI boom and he doesn't want to be held responsible for what's coming. So he put the comfortably coasting autist at the helm to take the eventual heat. The economic windfall from all these insider deals and lies won't even spare Apple regardless of how safe they've played things.

>>108650273
>I've heard you can get a lifetime ban from buying their cars if you get one custom painted
Not only that, any change to the logo also gets you a permaban as well.
Also, if you are a new client, they don't sell you the car you want even if you are a billionaire. They force you to buy one of the low tiers first and then, after you become a "trusted client" you can buy the most exotic ones.

>>108650353
That sounds pretty stupid. I get being pissed at people for messing with your designs but locking you out of other products until you've spent enough with them to prove yourself is retarded.

>>108647984
Ive was head of hardware design before he got put into “Head of Design” (a big mistake)

Ferrari is not the only one, I remember reading one luxury watch company did the same crap, and I don't doubt there are more companies with that philosophy.
Honestly, a lot of companies operate on the premise that their brands are for a certain kind of people and only them have the right to purchase their products. They completely ignore any other possible kind of client, they just don't care.
And sometimes they even go beyond that. For example, still makes me laugh how the Lacoste brand paid money to an Argentinian band called Los Wachiturros for them to NOT use their shirts, because, according to Lacoste, they damaged the brand and its reputation.

I'm not sure about the banning for modifying their watches, but they definitely do that exclusive list bullshit where only certain people can get certain watches.

>For example, still makes me laugh how the Lacoste brand paid money to an Argentinian band called Los Wachiturros for them to NOT use their shirts, because, according to Lacoste, they damaged the brand and its reputation.
Kek really? That's pathetic. LaCoste also seems like some Wal-Mart tier brand anyway, I always see their shoes sitting in stores alongside the usual street shoes every normie buys.

Apple used to be one of those companies, specially after Jobs' return to the company. He was allergic to the idea of making cheap low-end versions of his products even if that would increase their sales and market share, and probably would have killed Cook for approving the Macbook Neo if he was still alive.

>>108650500
Having a higher starting price for your products is a little different to just outright banning someone from buying your products until you've already bought their lowest tier stuff first though. It would be like getting pissed off at Rolex for not offering a $500 watch to poorfags.

>>108650500
From what I can tell the Macbook Neo is actually great
his reaction would likely be “fucking finally, now I can offer something that’s inexpensive but not shit now that we’re not paying the Intel tax”

>>108650500
He also thought he could cure his cancer with seeds and crystals so he was probably just a flawed human with some good design taste.

>>108650513
Silicon has been so based it's unreal, the change from Intel was massive for the Macbook Air alone. I still don't really think the Neo needs to exist when the Air already fills that gap but it does seem pretty strong for what it is.
Intel overall has been shitting the bed for years and losing Apple must've been a massive hit for them.

>>108650500
Nah, I know we meme Apple for being an elitist company for richfags, but that's nowhere near as close as what true elitist companies do.
Some companies even have a waiting list to buy their shit and could outright reject you with no explanation if you are not their target market even if you have the money to buy a dozen of those products.

>>108650515
Such is the trouble with artsy and creative types, there's always strange eccentricities and usually that includes some kind of spiritual or holistic shit. There was a period in Silicon Valley where techbros were all into meditation and buddhism and all that other stuff, no idea if that's still popular now but it was really popular for a bit.

>>108650553
Not wrong. Craig was around during the Jobs Reality Distortion era though and did put out some stellar software.

I think most of the thread is onto the core issue though and that is a lack of Jobs. Ignoring all the shitty things and toilet soaking, he could certainly sell something. Rewatching the old keynotes gets me hyped up for the original iPhone or just the macOS dock. Maybe I’m just a room temperature midwit who’s easily swayed by rah rah marketing, but man did it feel like the company had direction looking back on it. Although to be quite honest I remember a lot of that era feeling slow. Especially Mavericks. Any computer that had Mavericks on it felt unbearably slow.

It wasn’t Craig Federighi though at the time, it was Scott Forstall who headed the software team, and was ousted in a “coup” sort of short after Tim Cook took over using Apple Maps as an excuse (which in retrospect is much less than Apple Inteligence fuck up) because of his confrontational style.

Scott was the genius behind Mac OS X and iOS and was widely considered Steve Jobs natural successor.

>>108664418
Which is true but I believe a lot of outside criticism given the very public failures/mid products and lack of innovation finally got people to want to turn it over now there. Sure, Apple might be insulated now from AI but the bet they took is basically betting that private investment in the multiples of hundreds of billions won't pan out when we have results today that show it can actually do economically valuable work so what are they smoking ignoring it for so long? The fact that it took Craig Federighi trying out ChatGPT 4, not even 3, over a winter break to finally realize Apple fucked up here from that Register story is terrifying. They have to pay up like everyone else to use the best models like from Anthropic for Claude internally and outside with Google for their LLM usage is a huge miss and it doesn't come cheap or cheaper.. Google probably only gave Apple whatever was the best at the time the deal inked and didn't give them any update guarantees. Hell, they even had to throw out some of their custom M3 Ultra servers because it won't be good enough to run Google's model. Cook is dropping out at the perfect time for him to leave the hard problems for Ternus to answer for. But the AI miss is going to stain Cook's legacy harder than anything else especially when Steve Jobs was on the ball buying Siri before he died 15 years ago seeing that we would get to this point. They had a lead in a technology they completely blew away. Now, it remains to be seen if Apple will even update the deal at all ongoing with Google or if they will get hosed everytime. Google is most certainly going to bill a lot higher next time if Apple can't get its shit together with all the model and API providers turning the screws and hiking prices now.
