    I wish Craig Federighi was the replacement, he is obviously the most competent person at Apple right now, maybe ever save for Woz…

    But I’m pretty sure he’s not interested.

      Apples hardware is at its best right now. John is the head of hardware. Their software is a buggy shitshow. Craig is the head of software engineering.

      I can still remember the first time he had to do a presentation with Steve and he was shaking. Crazy how well trained everyone is for those presentations by now.

      Woz hasn’t done anything at Apple since the Apple IIGS. He has been a honorary employee since the late 80’s. Woz doesn’t come close to Federighi and the new CEO when it comes to competency.
