In a rapidly evolving tech landscape, Apple faces mounting challenges as it navigates geopolitical tensions, regulatory scrutiny, and shifting market dynamics – including embarrassingly missing the GenAI paradigm shift and struggling to catch up. A newly published opinion piece in The Washington Post by Adam Lashinsky says the company “is in need of new blood.” Adam Lashinsky for The Washington Post:
You know, some people get upset when we point out that Tim Cook is a boring, reactive caretaker who’s not really the best person to be running Apple today or for at least the past several years. Operations manager Cook should have been a 3-5 year stopgap after Steve Jobs’ untimely passing, running the iteration playbook, providing continuity for the company while it found a real CEO. Instead, he hung on — and keeps hanging on — well past his sell-by date. Sigh. You can be upset with us for having the temerity to call it like we see it, but the fact remains that Apple would be doing significantly better today with a visionary who’d have seen AI on the horizon, who’d have recognized the intrinsic importance of Siri and therefore invested in it instead of criminally neglecting it, and who wouldn’t have squandered the company’s gigantic leads in things like personal assistants and podcasting. – MacDailyNews, August 22, 2024 Apple needed new blood years ago, but the old blood simply won’t let go. – MacDailyNews, January 22, 2025 See also: Steve Jobs never meant for Tim Cook to still be Apple’s CEO in 2025 – MacDailyNews, July 9, 2025 Support MacDailyNews at no extra cost to you by using this link to shop at Amazon.
