Classic counterexample being Tim’s predecessor, Steve Jobs who took Apple from the brink and changed it into the most successful company of all time.

> most successful company of all time

I think the Dutch East India Company still holds that crown.

Tim’s run at the company has been about building out services and not innovation.

Maybe it makes more sense to hire a designer like Ive as CEO.

Building out hugely profitable services as the lifecycle of technology refresh slows has been a huge part of Apple’s recent success.

Also making huge gambles on things like M1 / Apple Silicon show that Apple is still innovating and leading the way - even in spaces that were starting to be stagnant.

Let’s also not forget hugely profitable hardware lines under Tim such as Apple becoming the number 1 biggest watch retailer by revenue, and dominating the wireless earphones market (which it pretty much established itself too).
