00:00
Speaker A
He's going to go down in history as one this is one of the great uh tenures of corporate annals throughout our history.
00:06
Speaker A
Uh Tim uh he quadrupled uh revenues, he quintupled uh earnings and uh stock price significantly was up 13 times, but beyond that, he he returned a trillion dollars to Apple shareholders.
00:17
Speaker A
Rather amazing. And he's a soft-spoken, quiet guy, but what's not recognized is what a spokesperson he's been and how true he's been to his values.
00:24
Speaker A
He was under a lot of pressure from the president of the United States uh to capitulate relative to making iPhones not to all in not in China, but he agreed to do it in India and the president wanted him to do it here.
00:35
Speaker A
He chose to go to India. Beyond that, he was under a lot of pressure to give up Apple values for diversity, equity and inclusion, and he stayed true to those values.
00:43
Speaker A
And uh I think just an amazing uh tenure. John Turnis has to go his own way and there are some things left to be done. They're unresolved.
00:50
Speaker A
I think Apple's whole position in the artificial intelligence field is not clear at this time, and they have to decide how they're going to get into a leadership role, how they're going to apply all this technology coming out of Open AI and Nvidia and uh and uh Anthropic and people they have teamed with.
01:06
Speaker A
So John's got a big challenge. He's got to figure out the relationship with China because they were so committed to China, it's an extremely important market to Apple, but they can't just be committed to China. They need to diversify, continue to diversify their supply chain and their market base.
01:19
Speaker A
So, I think and he's got to build his team too. It can't just be Tim's team. He's got to build his own executive team. He's made some promotions, succeeded himself uh with a top flight executive. So, you'll see him uh hopefully becoming his own person and not trying to be Tim Cook 2.
