At Vox Media’s 2022 Code Conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook said he’s maintained Steve Jobs’ traditional 9 a.m. Monday meetings for Apple’s top executives to discuss the company’s biggest issues.
Tim Cook says it’s never been his goal to run Apple the exact same way Steve Jobs did. But Jobs’ influence is still strongly felt at the company, Cook says — and it likely always will be.
“We don’t sit around and say: ‘What would Steve do?’ He told us not to do that,” Cook said on Wednesday at Vox Media’s 2022 Code Conference in Los Angeles. “But the reality was he was the best teacher I ever had, by far. Those teachings live on, not just in me, in a whole bunch of people who are [at Apple].”
“In many ways, it’s still run the way Steve set it up,” Cook said, also citing the Apple’s continuing practice of only having one profit and loss statement, as opposed to breaking the company into separate business units for each group of products.
MacDailyNews Note: Tim Cook revealed some advice Jobs gave him back in 2011
Among his last advice he had for me, and for all of you, was to never ask what he would do. “Just do what’s right.”

Just do what’s right… so many clueless commenters here could learn from Steve. Instead we have cynical ass-hats purposefully feeding us and themselves a steady diet of BS and naively expect everyone to just shut up about it.
Well how about NO. Take your cynical BS, you monumental effing anti-Apple losers, and eff the eff off.
Friggin’ scum will always be scum, and their cynical BS is just that… cynical, loser, inelegant, huffy, sad BS.
Steve starts the meeting with: “Let’s review our progress with ongoing and future (great) products.”
TC: “Let’s review our progress with ongoing and possible future subscriptions.”
“Let’s review our progress with ongoing and possible future subscriptions.”
That’s the way the industry is going, for better or for worst, and I can promise you that if Apple hadn’t moved to do the same, you’d be spouting off here about how behind the times Tim Cook is.
I think the current product lineup is pretty good. The 14 inch Macbook Pro I’m typing on is fantastic.
I’m glad Humdrum Moon is free
The entire stock market is all about stock buy-backs too…as a “useful” market tool, but they have nothing to do with productivity, quality, or the ideal.
It’s ideals that I’m talking about and minimizing such b/c everyone is doing it is nothing but feeble & lame.
Jobs once said, “”Our customers want to know who is Apple and what it stands for.”
Per the Cook pursuit, Apple is like an insurance company that creates a “product line” of due dates for their system(s) that are very much generic…News, Music, A-TV, iPh Up-toDate Prog, etc. Are these bad? No, but like it or not, Cook’s subscription focus is, “who is apple and what it stands for,” …and increasingly so.
Per ideals, this is not…unless you like following the likes of Geico and at&t.
Keeping a meeting at a regular scheduled time is not the same thing as continuing to run a business with the same core values and end user commitments.
Too true. AppleCynic keeps to a regular schedule of feeding us mushroom food here, but it doesn’t work. We all have much more meaningful core values than the BS-mongers.
There you go again, rambling like the brain dead fogey you are.
I think Tim Cook has improved Apple’s products and as great as Steve Jobs was, he wasn’t always right on things although he mostly was right but with big screen phones he was wrong for instance. I think Tim Cook is running Apple as he sees fit and aft all, it was Steve Jobs who picked Tim Cook as his successor.
