EP 54: APPLE DURING AND AFTER STEVE JOBS (company focus, product interest declining, how Tim Cook runs Apple, etc)

<p>in this episode we talk about how Apple operated under Steve Jobs and how they currently operate under Tim Cook.&nbsp;</p> <p>Under Steve Jobs it seemed like Apple was a design / creative company that happened to make technology... taking risks, creating products that made you think "how had no one thought of this?!" and working hard to make products easy for the consumer.&nbsp;</p> <p>Under Tim Cook it seems like Apple is... a well-run business.&nbsp;</p> <p>We talk about how Steve seemed to keep competition inward focused, pushing hard for Apple to eventually make their current products obsolete; and how that ultimately created some great technology in the process.&nbsp;</p> <p>Along those lines, it seems like interest in the newest iPhone (the 13) is the lowest in recent years, so we talk about that and discuss what Apple's latest "technological breakthrough" was.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>thanks for listening! watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmyDf4ZP_nOMa75J5WNSTqA</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p> </p> <p> Piper Sandler survey shows considerable lack of interest in iPhone 13</p> <p> 1,000 Americans - 6% planned to buy the 13 this fall and winter (10% in 2020)</p> <p> average iPhone age rose to 2.6 years (2.3 in 2020)</p> <p>https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/09/theres-little-interest-in-upgrading-to-the-iphone-13-a-piper-sandler-survey-shows.html</p> <p><br></p> <p>STEVE JOBS LAST TOP 100 EMAIL TO EMPLOYEES: https://www.businessinsider.com/email-reveals-steve-jobss-secret-plans-2014-4</p> <p><br></p>
