Name one Apple product released under Tim Cook that was as category-defining as the Mac, iPod, iPhone, or iPad. One. I’ll wait while you think about the Vision Pro.

Celebrating 50 years on April Fools’ Day is the most 'Apple' thing ever. Thinking Different since Day 1.

50 years. But let’s not forget Apple was 90 days from bankruptcy in 1997.

Microsoft saved them with a $150 million investment.
The company that now makes Microsoft look small was kept alive by Microsoft.
So Apple was formed on April fools day? No wonder we’ve been fooled every year with the introduction of a “new tech” that had been existing on Samsung.

On behalf of all Apple products users, I asked that iPhone should be sold with all accessories ( earpiece, charger) included in the phone box. Thank you for your attention to this matter

People are tired of your boring designs and colors
For 25 years you innovated new things, and for another 25 years you just copied and pasted those same things😅😅😅
