For this to be a good thing the shareholders would need to agree to a technical CEO rather than a marketing one and that comes with the wee lil' issue of raining on their AI parade. If Tim Cook goes his replacement will be even worse.
As much as I dislike Steve Jobs personally, Apple needs someone at the helm who is product and customer experience oriented like he was. Obviously, technical know-how is good, but someone exclusively technical would flounder. Tim Cook is a supply chain guy. His replacement would almost certainly be someone marketing oriented, since innovation no longer drives Apple. Sales do.

Siri still struggles with toggling my lights with voice commands, after nearly 8 years of tearful screaming at my HomePod.
I want to see 1 Infinite Loop transformed into a giant toilet.

It can be a very good thing if they try to actually become a normal company and not hype-serf.
So, it's not going to be good then.

Peak ludites gathering here lmao
I'd be willing to literally bet everything I own that AI will not be gone anytime soon. It's absurd to even think that we would ever go back to pre-llm world unless a world ending event happens.
LLMs will always be a novelty tech. They will continue to exist, but not likely worth all the money it costs to run them.

Me: Siri turn lights on
Siri: Now playing Bon Jovi’s “Wanted dead or alive”
Me: Siri shut the fuck up, you have one job, do that job

What are you talking about?
He doesn't like Linux, he specifically said he doesn't like Linux because it "doesn't work" in his opinion, because it takes additional setup time that his Windows systems don't take. He only likes Windows, and he likes it because it "just works". However, the reason it "just works" is because someone else did all the hard work setting it up for him, he's never had to set it up himself like he was attempting to do with Linux. He hates Linux, loves Windows, and the reason he loves Windows is because he's clueless on how much setup it actually takes. He's not apathetic, he's ignorant, and a zealot.
Looks like I might have found a Linux zealot lol. "It just works for me is a totally rational and fair reason to prefer Windows. Zealotry requires irrational beliefs. Maybe he is but you've not laid out a convincing argument/story.
Fwiw I prefer Linux but I'll use Windows everyday too. It has a lot of uses and most products are designed for it. It has it's places still. I'm certainly not zealous about Windows

Even the home app struggles to turn on my lights and I don’t know if it’s Apple or the hue bridge loses connection.

For this comment, I want to be absolutely clear that I do not give a shit about AI, and that it in no way factored into my decision to buy this iPhone 16 Pro Max.
With that disclaimer out of the way:
I very much look forward to a class action lawsuit. Apple advertised specific features as coming ‘very soon’ and gave short timeframes when asked directly. And they basically did not deliver on those advertising promises. Basically, I think there’s a good case to be made here that Apple knowingly engaged in false advertising in order to sell a phone that otherwise would not have sold as well. Those promised AI features WERE a deciding factor for a lot of people to upgrade to an iPhone 16.
So, I’ll be looking forward to some form of compensation. It’s the principle of it.
