Tim Cook is doing the same mistake that the CEOs of the 1980s and 1990s did when Steve Jobs left. “Apple has to remember what Apple is”. They are losing sight of what makes Apple great. Cook et al. are trying to make an extra buck in the short term rather than provide innovation and customer satisfaction. The momentum that Steve Jobs had put Apple in will soon fade and Apple will fall.
Maps is not a bad product it is an unfinished product. Apple should have labeled it beta and kept the Google app for another year or so but greed is at the heart of Apple now. They want everything proprietary so that they can control their customers wallets. It used to be Apple = innovation but now Apple=greed. I miss Steve Jobs. I am switching back to Windows PC and Android mobile.

Finally! Browett gone! What a jack hole. His plan was to gut Apple Retail and make it Dixons. We suffered through his cutting of hours and staff, leaving our customers with huge wait times, less interaction, poor service and violating Apples basic credo statements. From all Apple Retail employees… Thank you Mr. Cook for getting rid of someone who tried to fix something that wasn’t broken.

You stupid fool. you can get a basketweaving degree from any university if you have the money. Do you even know what an engineering or related degree is before trying to make people believe that Scott Foreskin has such credentials? Please shut up

This move is completely logical. Tim Cook is doing exactly what it says in the PR – improving collaboration between divisions. Apple will be a stronger, faster competitor going forward.

All of these iOS, Android are crap and has reduced mankind to having to use these devices to do work. A phone should be a phone with high quality voice and video. That is it. And they can’t even do that. Crappy bluetooth devices, etc. So the mass public is in a cult of these stupid minds of Apple, Motorola, Samsung, etc.

A phone should be excellent quality and so should the video.

Another device should do data.

The carriers are ripping to shreds people off. 100/month to make a call.

Holy crap! The first three comments are nuts. Inferior products? Like what? Maybe the new Maps app was premature, but remember it was initiated by Jobs. Apples’s entire hierarchy has no credentials?!? Yah right. And Yar, nice conspiracy theory.

I’m willing to give Tim Cook one more chance before i start to worry to much.. but ill say Microsoft is looking really good atm.. so he needs to watch his back.. furthermore.. hes can blame his staff this time.. but next one is on him,..
