It could result in less weird infighting and divisional problems.

Maybe the whole thing with Apple Intelligence and John Gianandrea's group versus Craig Federighi's group, maybe that wouldn't have happened that way if the CEO was less about don't bring me problems and more about, hey, let's look at this thing holistically and figure it out.

So I'm actually very excited about a lot of these changes coming up probably.

including stuff like that that we will never even hear about, at least not for years, of just very basic differences in how Ternus operates almost anything versus how Tim Cook operates almost anything.

They're going to be very different people, very different leaders.

And that's, again, this is part of why I'm excited about Cook's hopefully soon departure.

And in particular, it sounds like Ternus is a pretty good candidate to replace him.

But we'll see how this all goes.

This could go a very different way because we don't yet know

what kind of leader turners will be given that that kind of escalation and responsibilities but i think we we can look at a lot of the dynamics that we've seen in apple during the cook tenure some of which have been great you know he's made a lot of money good for him and some of which have been you know problematic or inefficient or have had you know other non-ideal outcomes and some of that's due to cook style and that's going to change and that i'm really looking forward to that

Okay, I will disagree with that.

your job as the CEO is to solve the difficult problems that like the, the most difficult problems come to you and that's your job.

Hey, look, I'm just happy this is, you know, that there's obvious signs that this is in motion.

Now, this, whether or not, you know, Art Levinson is there for another year or another six months, who knows?

I don't think this really says either way.

All this says is that he is not being forced to retire by their original rules.

Because, again, like, you know, Apple makes the rules.

They can change them whenever they want.

So...

They're kind of holding Art Levinson over a little bit longer.
