Tim Cook is the perfect captain to keep the ship on a steady course and not rock the boat, but I'm not convinced he is an innovator. I sometimes wonder if Jobs selected Cook as his successor, because Jobs expected to overcome his health problems and return, and wanted Apple in safe pair of hands during his cancer battle.

That said, Apple only appears to be "failing" from the angle of the stock markets obsession with infinite growth. They are still an enormous company with high brand strength and large cash reserves.

Laying it safe on the tried and true products for sure, but there has been a lot of innovation in the Immersive Computing space which really is the next computing platform. We will see when the Vision Pro really comes out as it is far from perfect, but it does seem to innovate in a bunch of ways that are surely to become the industry standard.
