Best quote from 库克卸任 Apple CEO：职业生涯评价与离职原因深度解析
库克从来没想过要去模仿乔布斯，他走的是一条完全不同的路——靠供应链的极致优化和全球化布局，把苹果从一家卖硬件的公司，变成了一家卖“生活方式和信任”的公司。

库克卸任，评价一下他的职业生涯在Apple以及为什么他会卸任
Frequently Asked Questions
蒂姆·库克在卸任CEO后并不会完全离开苹果，他将转任执行董事长（Executive Chairman），继续处理他所擅长的政策和外交事务。接替他担任CEO职位的是约翰·特努斯（John Ternus），他已在苹果工作25年，此前负责硬件工程，主导过Mac转向自研芯片等核心项目。
库克将苹果从一家充满不确定性的公司带到了4万亿美元市值的巅峰，规模堪比英国一年的经济总量。在他的领导下，苹果的利润增长了近700%，股价涨幅超过1000%，净收入从2010年的水平增长了八倍多，达到1120亿美元。
库克推动了苹果从“个人设备”向“生态体验”的转型，最直观的表现是新产品不再以“i”开头，而是推出了Apple Watch、AirPods等穿戴设备。此外，他极大地扩展了服务业务（如iCloud、Apple Music、Apple Pay），该业务目前的年收入已超过1000亿美元。
在生成式AI爆发的阶段，苹果的反应被认为相对迟钝，其AI部门甚至被内部戏称为“AIMLess”（无目标）。由于在AI战略上的误判和进展缓慢，苹果面临顶尖人才流失到Meta或OpenAI的问题，甚至不得不寻求与谷歌合作，利用对方的模型来驱动Siri。
选择特努斯被视为苹果回归“硬件本源”和“产品力”的信号。相比于库克擅长的供应链优化和利润榨取，特努斯拥有深厚的工程师背景，参与了从iPad到iPhone 17等核心产品的研发。他被寄予厚望，带领苹果在AI时代重新找回创新的节奏，做出让世界惊艳的产品。
