Phil Schiller Should Replace Tim Cook as CEO

Do we know how well he would be able to handle the other 90% of the duties of being the CEO of Apple? You can't just see a person say something that you like, then elect him into said position, without also evaluating his overall competency for the job.

Did we know how well Tim Cook would be able to handle everything other than being the CFO before Steve Jobs nominated him?

Not forgetting that Tim Cook is elected by the board, so maybe the shareholders are the ones happy with the job he has been doing of running Apple? Unhappy developer sentiment is small potatoes compared to dealing with tariffs and other geopolitical issues.

True and that's one of the big problems with companies. The board focusing on short-sighted gain results in bad products and is one of the things that ruined Apple the first time

The only reason that there’s evidence of Phil Schiller disagreeing with anyone on anything is because the entire case was about the AppStore, and Phil Schiller runs the AppStore. It’s not like he’s publicly speaking out against Apple.

John Ternus is the vice president of hardware engineering, and therefore has no involvement with the case. His opinion is completely unknown.

I'm not sure why that would matter. We have evidence of Schiller speaking out against bad decisions in the domain he works. That's a great thing. That's the whole point of this post
