But it’s difficult to argue that Apple hasn’t been the “best of the worst”\n\nI’m glad you included this caveat, because it is important. I’m curious to see if this new leadership changes anything too.\n\nZenByte:\n\n> Will Tim Cook’s departure change your views of Apple?\n\nI used to be a hardcore Apple fan, but that changed after Steve Jobs died.\nIt’s commonly believed by some that from a consumer’s perspective, Apple is worse now under Tim Cook, and had Jobs still been alive it would have been better. I share some of those beliefs.\n\nHowever, after becoming more aware of enshittification and other critiques of capitalism, as well as Job’s managerial style, I am not confident that under his leadership Apple would have fared that much better for the consumer. I would have probably stopped being a hardcore fan had Job lived.\n\nI still like Apple to some degree, but I am no longer blinded by its marketing. I used to watch WWDC every year, but they stopped being exciting a long time ago.\n\nLet’s see what the new CEO brings, but I’m not expecting big positive changes.",
