I know this isn’t satire but it feels uncannily like satire.

I've never stumbled across Apple Insider before, it's quite the apologist for the company. Here's some tone deaf quotes from the article that made me laugh:

"It's true that the buck stops at the CEO, but without Tim Cook, Apple would not have so many bucks."

I guess if you make a lot of money you get a pass for allowing misleading and anti-consumer marketing campaigns?

"If billions and trillions are hard numbers to imagine, here's another one. Apple could, if its valuation could be converted to cash without loss, give every person living in the continental USA a free iPhone 16e — and then 13 spare ones. Each."

I love how they chose to illustrate Apple's obscene level of wealth with how much it could benefit people if they ever distributed that wealth through altruistic giving 😂

AppleInsider has always had its nose planted firmly up Apple's corporate ass crack.

It’s interesting to see them still kissing Apple backside when Gruber eviscerated Apple and he’s usually very uncritical.

I don’t know that Cook needs to go, but Apple have a big reputation and this has harmed them. They need to fix that somehow.

Tim Apple is garbage

I read the headline up until "he has made Apple what it is" and then I was, like...

A company that is now focused more on creating value for shareholders than on innovation? I'd say that's pretty accurate.
