> “When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don’t consider the bloody ROI.”<p>I just have to call out how much this impacted my mom’s life. She’s 100% blind and has access because of her iPhone and iPad. Yes she learned JAWSs and literally took classes to do it. Every single windows update has made it so she’d have to retake this class. The iOS updates a rocky but she isn’t literally hamstrung.<p>My dad, damn near 80, is still happily using his 2012 i7 Mac mini I set him up with before moving away.<p>Anyway, excited for the future of Apple under Ternus and a hardware guy at the helm. What kind of a11y does robotics have? <a href="https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/elegnt-expressive-functional-movement" rel="nofollow">https://machinelearning.apple.com/research/elegnt-expressive...</a>

That is a generous assessment of Tim Cook’s reign at Apple and especially of his character. I found it a real pleasure to read.

> “When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind, I don’t consider the bloody ROI.”<p>This made me sad. I moved out to Silicon Valley a few months after Jobs passed. I remember feeling so hopeful and inspired that technology could make the world a better place, and I saw the same in other founders. Today I look around and feel ashamed of the tech industry. The founders don’t talk about changing the world anymore, they just have dollar signs in their eyes. It’s been a long time since I saw any technology that felt inspiring the same way it used to feel.

> I would also bet that Cook moves into the role of executive chairman, and will still play a significant, if not leading, role for the company when it comes to domestic and international politics. Especially with regard to Trump.<p>Right: <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/01/03/tim-cook-apple-donate-1-million-trump-inauguration" rel="nofollow">https://www.axios.com/2025/01/03/tim-cook-apple-donate-1-mil...</a><p>Gruber is a joke

Until now Apple hasn't addressed the mass market in nearly two decades. That's one human generation, and it is also the span of time between when something first hits and when it sees its first retro revival. That isn't a coincidence.<p>I'm starting to get a little excited! This is going to be quite a decade.

I was thinking about the upcoming regulation about replaceable batteries in the EU, and couldn't help but think that if I were Apple's CEO this would be a great time to make an orderly exit. Make no mistake, I'm not a fan of i-Devices' non-replaceable batteries, but I can't remember a single device with a lid for batteries on the back that was aesthetically in the same league as an iPhone.
