No, they would just direct Tim to say that Apple would be better off focusing less on the iPhone and more on the Mac.So, if the board of directors and stockholders prefer the company to focus more on the MBP/Mac Pro rather than iPhone, iPad and iWatch, things could change?

That of course will never occur, because Apple is making crazy amounts of money on the iPhone. Why change course on a successful business plan and focus on a product or platform that has less growth and profit potential
Apple has already shown that they're more interested in profits, and that's something the shareholders care about as well.I guess if a CEO cares more about the needs of long-term loyal customers than making money, he or she may change course...

103.13USD -2.39 on Friday, so Tim should be safe until Wednesday.As long as the stock stays above $100 @ share.
Probably long enough, until people stop confiding in Apple's hardware and software. The only great things currently coming out of Apple are their iPhone and iOS. They've ruined their applications, they've ruined Mac OS, and, in some ways, they've ruined aspects of their Macs.
I'm not too sure about apple pay, but Apple music, icloud and to some degree icloud photo library are horrible substandard products and the only way they achieve any kind of traction is on the back of fundamentally broken music, photo and storage management on both iphone and mac.Don't forget the creation and growth of services under his tenure.
iCloud Storage (driven by iCloud Photo Library, IMO)
Apple Music
ApplePay

the numbers look good for shareholders, and diehard apple fans might be able to delude themselves into thinking they're doing something wrong or do not need features like google photo, but for how long?
Anyone switched from xCode to Visual Studio lately ?
10 record breaking quarters are a thing of the past.Now it a downward spiral from hereon in according to Cook himself.And it will continue to go down until they listen to what their customers want.
10 records-Thank you Jobs for providing Cook with a organisation filled with cash and innovative products to maintain momentum
2 down quarters-I think we can agree that the next quarter is also a down quarter
Most admired company-Not for long if they keep this up.Alphabet is closing in
Most imitated-early years?Yes.Now?Nope Competition is coming out with sleeker and better products.The Macbook Air looks like a 1980 laptop compared to the bezel less XPS 13
iPad Pro-So easy to be the best on the market when you have no one to compete against as competitors aren't interested in a declining market
TouchID-Motorola did it first
with compression its free, without compression you pay, i pay.In your opinion...
In my opinion, the only reason people use Google Photos, is because they are ignorant to what they do with their photos, and because they don't pay for it. That's not a business in my book.
if we were talking about a retail store like wallmart that would speak volumes more about the quality of their CEO than a company like Apple.For some reason Google generates $20B a quarter, which $18B are from advertising, and $2B from everything else. Including their cloud services, corporate solutions, and their monstrous home user base (there are like 5x more Google Android devices out there compared to iCloud). Now what's that compared to Apple services?
I've been an Apple fan for ages, almost 10 years now and worked on Apple gear only for the last 5. I dont think I have ever been a fanboy, but i've certainly given them a LOT of goodwill for otherwise questionable or unappealing options. I wish that me describing apple services as "horrible substandard products" was a result of android fanboyism, but it's not it's simply a return to objective thought. And it means that I will have to make a lot of annoying changes to work and home life.No, you can't say that Apple services are "horrible substandard products", it's just fanboyism, the part where you say "to delude themselves into thinking they're doing something wrong or do not need features like google photo", what kind of crap is this? Google Photo is an Apple Photos 1:1 copy (even the icon), Apple had that way before, and only now Google/Android users are experiencing it! Yet still is inferior to iOS experience, where the OS transfers the photos on the fly from the servers, when you request them.
with compression its free, without compression you pay, i pay.
The icloud backed photos app is impressive as a demonstration untill you tried google photos, after that it will seem locked in, unwieldy and lowtech.
I doubt apple will be able to mimic their discovery features any faster than it took them to mimic their google docs features (10 years?)
on the other hand the special Apple photo features can best be described as cheesy and gimmicky.
As a developer google make me marvel at HOW they do it, and apple make me marvel at How they get away with doing it so stupidly, i think i could code a better solution in a few months.
Another issue is if you trust google with your photos, and the ability to map your life with AI that follows, but thats another matter.
