He is a supply chain guy. He did a tremendous job on making sure you need for every single thing on an apple device either an adapter or a repair that cost more than the device itself. Since Tim took over, the only noticable succeful disruption from a technological perspective is Apples M silicon. The rest is old wine in new bottles. For the rest its upselling and people that are crazy enough to put 1200 dollar/euro down for a phone or an 8gbyte RAM Mac. And to be straight, I have no problems with that. But there might be a time where Apple ends up in that same corner.
At that price, they weren’t going to sell much. What jackass thought people other than the most rabid fanbois was going to spend $3500 on a beta version of tech that hasn’t got a killer app yet?
Tim Apple is an MBA. Is the company struggling?

They did an attempt at VR, just because it didn’t sell doesn’t mean they didn’t make technically the most capable VR set

It’s easy to make the most capable product if you disregard the price point completely.
but it was a me-too attempt, almost a copycat of existing hardware… hardly innovative
I mean, it kinda sounds similar… what’s the last innovative product from Apple?
They’re living off the rent from older products. What’s their last innovation? Vision Pro??
Yes, it wasn’t a success, but at least they are trying. What’s the last Google innovation?
What does Google have to do with that?
Why are we expecting Apple to be innovative in particular? None of the big companies are doing that
