I've always liked Tim Cook, even before he took the CEO reigns (hipster!). Apple is absolutely the same company, but he is definitely giving it a different flavor. Even the folks over at 1 Infinite Loop are a bit more at ease with their CEO than with Jobs.
I think the one think I also like about Cook is that isn't trying to be the face of Apple like Jobs was. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but must folks judged Apple by Jobs. And rightfully so...he was the commander of the ship. He was the sales guy. Maybe he had to be to bring Apple from the crap it was in. But even I got frustrated with Jobs' relationship with his users at time. Cook is letting Apple be Apple...

I can't understand why you had so many thumbs down. People here don't respect others opinion and think they're opinion is better. Your comment has nothing wrong! Somebody explain me!

Tim Cook is more polite and friendly image of Apple, however this means it cannot establish cult-status of worshiped sign, because for that you need violent and non-communicative figure like Steve Jobs. They will continue to practice that policy but they will fail to produce new paradigm shifts when the time comes. They could only survive by sailing on a SJ's charismatic boat.

Wonder what cook will bring on the tablet this time for the new iPhone 6 with all these changes going around.

Apple haters are stupid. If you hate Apple that much, don't read Apple articles. Simple.
14. PhoneArenaUser posted on 25 May 2012, 08:56 4 3
You are reading news papers and watching tv news only about good things?
19. kindlefireowner posted on 25 May 2012, 09:06 6 3
I only read tech news that I'm interested in. We are talking about tech news, it's not life or death. People who spend time hating on everything Apple are? You fill in the blank.
I am writing this from my kindle fire. Not an Ipad. Nor do I ever want an iphone.

"Tim Cook's more communicative, amicable personality is transforming Apple's image"
So you are interested in this news? Right?
23. kindlefireowner posted on 25 May 2012, 09:26 2 1
This is what I think about Apple. We will never see another tech company dominate the phone, tablet, mp3 market like what Apple is doing today. Will it last forever. History says no. Is it reason to hate on Apple. No.
Business 101 is to make a product that people want to buy, then sell as many as them as possible. Plus Apple gets full price for them. For that they get my respect.

Agree, but I hate Apple not because of that!

Because ov the company itself.....
26. PhoneArenaUser posted on 25 May 2012, 10:02 3 2
Because of Apple politics and morality. How they achieve their objectives and goals.
27. kindlefireowner posted on 25 May 2012, 10:13 1 2
So Apple will never get any of your money. Right. Wrong. Apple gets a cut from every android phone sold because of patents. You can tell people that don't have a clue about business. You compete. If you crush and put your competitor out of business. So be it. You want your products not to not be open and play nice with others? That's your brand on the line.

"So Apple will never get any of your money."
1) I wasn't talking about that, so please don't try to twist subject-matter!
2) Yes, directly they won't get my money! Unless as you say through patent fees.
"Apple gets a cut from every android phone sold because of patents."
Remember that Apple also pays patent fees.

Kindle is correct. If you claim you dislike Apple so much why do you read and comment on all their articles?
You're a closet Apple fan.
32. gallitoking posted on 25 May 2012, 12:08 0 4
because android articles includes a alarm clock app out now for the google store.... trust me taco even die fandroids find that boring...
35. PhoneArenaUser posted on 25 May 2012, 12:15 1 0
Just because I publish that I hate Apple that doesn't mean I'm fan of Android or any other OS. I just say that I hate Apple, so please don't make interpretations.
37. gallitoking posted on 25 May 2012, 12:32 1 3
ok so I will call you Apple hater.. thats more accurate..

Ok, I agree, because it is true and I don't hide that. :)
+1 for you.

seeing that iOS has had issues with its alarm clock for 5 OS versions, maybe they should release it on iOS for you guys.. dont want you to be late for middle school

Ur totally wrong.... Android, Fandroids go in Apple and Windows article to TROLL!

Stop talking nonsenses, I hate Apple not without a reason! If I wouldn't know anything about Apple, then there wouldn't any reason to hate Apple. Right? So why I can't read news about Apple and update my knowledge? Only with information I can form my opinion about something in this case Apple. So what's the problem?
P.S.
You also read news about other, for example Android...
34. taco50 (banned) posted on 25 May 2012, 12:14 1 3
I don't complain about android on every single article. I don't "hate" any technologies. That's irrational. If I dislike any company or what they do I just don't buy their product.
You really think your little anti Apple trolling campaign will work? It just makes you look foolish.

"I don't "hate" any technologies."
I also don't hate any technologies, I just hate Apple as a company because of Apples politics and morality. How they achieve their objectives and goals.
"If I dislike any company or what they do I just don't buy their product."
Yes, I don't buy Apple products.
"You really think your little anti Apple trolling campaign will work?"
Do oyu really think that it is compaign ?
There is no "Apple trolling compaign", I just express mine opinion, or maybe I can't ?

YOU COMPLAIN bout how ANDROID copies iOS, YOU COMPLAIN HOW ANDROID steal the notification bar, you COMPLAIN BOUT PINCH TO ZOOM, YOU COMPLAIN bout Samsung how it looks like the iPhone, YOU COMPLAIN how Android phones can get thinner than the iPhone ect, I can go on and on bout u taco.

You could say *puts sunglasses on* there's a new "Cook" in the kitchen.
I don't know how to feel about Cook yet, I need to see the results of some projects created under his command...

Ok first phonearenauser if your going to correct peoples grammar use it properly is my not mine I. The context your using it,
Second Ffs this is an article about an article written by an author for FORTUNE magazine not Phonearena so quit belly aching about phone arena riding I jock. Jesus I swear both fan droid and I sheep alike The tech we choose is our choice and our opinion. If you like apple like apple if you like droid like droid but this stuff is getting as bad as religion on whose is better or bigger it's ridiculous the level some of you take it to. I quit posting for the most part because if I use the word apple once it's usually automatically 4 thumbs down minimum.
There are a few decent fan droids like remixfa out there but otherwise it seems more like a bunch of teenage boys having a jock contest and it's pathetic grow up be cival THERE JUST PHONES. Ok sorry rant done
