No, Tim Cook’s head shouldn’t roll; overall, he’s done a great job

No, Tim Cook’s head shouldn’t roll; overall, he’s done a great job.

Some folks are calling for Apple CEO to step down after the public relations nightmare that Apple Intelligence/personalized Siri has become. 

That would be a bad move. I think he should be the face of a public apology/clarification from Apple, but he’s still the best man for the job. Cook’s leadership, Apple has grown into a multi-trillion dollar company, launched successful products like the Apple Watch and AirPods, and expanded into services like Apple TV+ and Apple Music, while also focusing on sustainability and user privacy. Here’s a more detailed look at Apple’s accomplishments under Tim Cook (which, ironically, is generated by Safari’s AI features:
