Federighi is the chief influence on the look and feel of software, and Joswiak is an important voice across the board.

And then with regard to Cook's departure as CEO, Apple told shareholders this month, writes Mark Gurman, that its current chairman, Art Levinson, would remain in his role past the company's February shareholder meeting, despite the fact that he's now 75, the usual retirement age for directors.

That implies a chairman transition won't happen until at least 2027.

Sorry, Marco.

Lately, I can't wait for it to happen.

All right.

I don't want to belabor this, but it would be remiss of us not to at least acknowledge that what's going on in Minnesota and, and, and what's going on with ice and not the ice I was dealing with, but the, the, the national ice is,

It's terrible.
