John Siracusa makes another Apple stalwart critiquing how it’s lost its way, and he’s calling for new leadership:
The best leaders can change their minds in response to new information. The best leaders can be persuaded. But we’ve had decades of strife, lawsuits, and regulations, and Apple has stubbornly dug in its heels even further at every turn. It seems clear that there’s only one way to get a different result.
In every healthy entity, whether it’s an organization, an institution, or an organism, the old is replaced by the new: CEOs, sovereigns, or cells. It’s time for new leadership at Apple.
It’s certainly much less fun to be an Apple fan these days than it used to be, and that’s got me cooling on my love for tech overall. A healthy change? Probably. But not one that leaves me feeling particularly good yet.
