They'll figure it out. As Charles de Gaulle said "The graveyards are full of indispensable men."

"Since he took over from Steve Jobs in 2011, the iPhone-maker’s boss has lifted annual sales from $108bn to $416bn, operating profit from $34bn to $133bn and market capitalisation from around $350bn to $4trn, equivalent to roughly $700m for every day of his 14-year tenure.

No ceo comes close to his record of producing nearly $1trn in cumulative net income."


Replacing Tim Cook is easy. Find a homeless guy.

No one could enshittify Apple faster than Tim Cook, so any random human would be an improvement.
