Cook remained a bit of a cipher.

Cook is a little like me

Cook wakes up early.

Steve Jobs

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who died in 2011, still casts a long shadow.

I do it every day, though I do not have Cook’s trainer to push me.

“We owe him a debt of gratitude.

He also insisted that Apple has smashed its own glass ceiling.

I do wonder how that stance might limit Siri’s development as a possible LLM platform.

Of course, I didn’t expect Lipa to go that deep with Cook.

On the question of retirement, he made it clear to Lipa that he’s not going anywhere.

Tim Cook in 2018

Tim Cook will be an equality crusader when he finally departs Apple.

“I love it there,” he told her.

“I cant envision life without being there.

I will be there for a while.”

Apple is very careful with AI, could that hurt Siri’s development chances?

So the salient point here is that Tim Cook is Apple’s CEO for the foreseeable future.

Cook told Lipa his job is “to prepare several people for the ability to succeed.”

If I had to make a guess, the most likely candidate would be currentChief Operating Officer Jeff Williams.

Apple Vision Pro

Vision Pro is meant to be an extension of you.

Williams often appears in Apple’s product announcement videos, but he’s otherwise not a forward-facing Apple presence.

Whoever takes the Apple CEO mantle, they best cool their heels.

Cook, who was clearly in his element chatting to Dua Lipa, is not going anywhere.

Current Apple COO Jeff Williams is a strong candidate to succeed Cook

And that’s probably a good thing for Apple, and for fans of Apple products.
