Tim Cook had a challenging task when he took over $Apple (AAPL.US)$ from the visionary leader Steve Jobs. In fact, Cook became CEO of $Apple (AAPL.US)$ during a tough period when the company's future appeared shaky. While Jobs co-founded the company and defined Apple as a modern computing juggernaut with iMac, iPhone, iPad and iPod, Cook managed to successfully release new products, including the Apple Watch and AirPods, and services, such as subscriptions to iCloud, Apple Music, Apple News+ and Apple TV+ that would go on to transform ...

According to Cook, Jobs advised him to be his own leader and never to ask "what would Steve do?". In the same spirit, I feel comparisons between the two are unnecessary. Both Cook and Jobs are great CEOs who have brought $Apple (AAPL.US)$ to greater heights and we should just celebrate their contributions individually.
Jobs was a visionary who co-founded Apple and made it a household name. He was responsible for a number of pioneering inventions: iMac provided a viable personal computing alternative to Windows; the iPod and iTunes made portable music players fun and fashionable; the iPhone revolutionised the design of smartphones; the iPad made tablets indispensable; the App Store completely transformed the way software applications were distributed; and the Apple TV which provided an integrated televsion and software experience.
Since joining Apple, Cook has helped streamline Apple’s supply chain and operations. Jobs and he turned around the struggling company from near bankruptcy to profit. Under Cook’s capable steerage as CEO, Apple expanded its services business and fluorished into the first trillion-dollar publicly-traded company in the US. Apple subsequently became the first US company to reach 2 trillion dollars in market capitalisation. It is currently the most valuable company in the world and the S&P 500 Index $SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.US)$ , ahead of $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$, $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ , $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$ and $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$ . Under Cook’s watch, Apple launched Apple TV+, Apple Watch, Airpods and has ventured into electric cars. Apple is also giving its users more control over their privacy.
Although there are challenges ahead (antitrust suits), as an Apple fan, I firmly believe in Apple’s continued growth and innovative offerings.![]()

Tim Cook is a CEO great at maximizing Apple’s profit, while Steve Job was great at spearheading the innovation of Apple’s technology to the world. Steve Job was no doubt a great man who made huge impact to how people use the mobile phone and changed people’s lifestyle; but in terms of business and profitability, Tim is a better CEO. He has proven his worthiness and capability of leading the company throughout this pandemic (and has performed well). Although not much products launched during his time was deemed “revolutionary”, his aims were to make Apple becoming less dependent on other provider(for example, release of M1 chip to rival against Intel). He has also made Apple’s brand stand out among other competitors, by emphasizing the efforts they have made for sustainability issue. His strategy on Apple’s revenue model has made Apple stock a much more worthwhile investment....

Tim Cook is fundamentally different from Steve Jobs. This doesn’t mean he’s any less good.
In my opinion, Tim is an operations master—he can tighten any supply chain to the point where it’s operating really efficiently that products don’t even stay on the shelves for more than 1 day or 2 days.
Unfortunately, what he doesn’t possess is the vision that Steve had for the future.

A CEO’s job is to create value to its employees, customers, and shareholders. Tim Cook absolutely finished these jobs, offering the best products, paying sky-high salary, pushing $Apple (AAPL.US)$ ‘s stock price to the Mars.
I just wanna say thank you to Cook. You are the best!

Signals & Forecast
Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The Apple stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term moving averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $149.31 and $147.41. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, August 18, 2021, and so far it has risen 4.62%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 months Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Tim Cook in company of Apple, during his era he sells some of the best-respected phone cameras in the industry. Still remembered where I first held Apple’s iPhone. Yes he’s a great CEO same as Steve Jobs. Another CEO which brings my attention to is Elon Reeve Musk CEO of Tesla , being an entrepreneur and business magnate. A centibillionaire, he is one of the richest people in the world. Intelligent and well versatile man of great respect 👍🏻
who still rememeber this iphone model hahaha...

I think Cook is doing his best to fill the big shoes of Job. He may not be as visionary and innovative as Jobs but he gets the job done (pun intended). Year on year, $Apple (AAPL.US)$ still produce quality products (though not as innovative or game changer as before) and their integrated platforms are what keeps users happy. If they really follow through with an EV car, that would really boost their image as an innovation company to the next level. Now I'm hungry for apple pie ...

whether tim has surpassed Jobs, but I think Tim is a great CEO, as what a CEO should do. $Apple (AAPL.US)$ has great products and multiple income streams. presently I have all their devices, wearables, icloud storage even. How to not buy their stock?

101767718 : Agree agree
Krel : Company needs visionaries like Steve Jobs at Apple, while Elon is a visionary too so Tesla is successful. Virgin have Branson. All successful company needs visionaries. While Cook is an executioner, Appl can do well under him but not in terms of innovation. The world and investors need more visionaries.
102089245 : Apple is in the safe hands of Cook!
HopeAlways OP Krel : True, visionaries are the driving force for the future.
garay : Many successful companies need both someone like Jobs and Cook. One that has a vision for the future and one that could take charge in achieving the vision. I believe that musk might be both but there’s still a long road ahead to assess his capabilities!
