You woke up one day as the CEO of Applel

Well I imagine Apple don't want to find themselves in a Windows RT position where it looks like macOS, it feels like macOS but brother it ain't macOS.

Current crapple audience doesn't even know what the term open source means.

I change nothing, there are plenty of idiots that would still buy aplel products.

Don't forget to annually increase the price.

So? They wouldn't really benefit from macOS being open source anyway, just like 99% of Linux users.

For people who use computers as an appliance then having a tight and well integrated OS is more important than being able to have a variety of distrobutions that are all broken in different ways but *at least* you can fix them if you happen to have a university education in OS design and engineering.

close it down and take the money

This is why you myopic autists in engineering never get promoted to the important positions.

>I would destroy Apple by abandoning its current customers just so I can debate people on Jow Forums that my choice of Mac OS distro is better than theirs.

This is why Jow Forums isn't a proper tech board.

stop being a faggot

I will release a desktop computer, a really powerful one,one you can repair and does not cook itself to death, meant for all those people that use my machines for actual work.
Cool looking because i'm fucking apple, and an insane upgrade path that ends with a dual EPYC board.

Wrong. The driver quality of important drivers (e.g. graphics) is the same.
Linux supports way more hardware; even if less common drivers are not great quality, it's better than no support.
CPU features are actually better engineered in Linux than macOS

I would fire that faggot David Smith in the Foundation team.

- Kill the 12-inch MacBook and MacBook Air. Rename MacBook Pro to just MacBook. If anyone wants a 12-inch MacBook-like device (for more casual use), they can use iPad Pro.
- Kill the regular 9-inch fuck ugly iPad and rename iPad Pro to just iPad.
- Basically kill the word "Pro" in everything. I want my company's name alone to imply professional use. Instead of creating consumer and professional tiers, let's just make devices that are good for everything.
- Kill the Smart Keyboard Folio. The virtual keyboard on iPad is actually good enough to use, maybe even better. And the Smart Keyboard just adds too many problems to be useful and is way too expensive anyhow. The whole point of iPad was to drop the keyboard and mouse, so let's do that.
- Bring the Touch Bar to everything with a keyboard, including the Magic Keyboard itself. The reason third party developers refuse to support it is because of the general consensus that it's just a gimmicky little fringe feature that'll be gone by next year. We want to prove to them that that isn't the case and that we're dead serious about this.
- Kill Touch ID for good. Use Face ID for nearly everything.
- Kill the iPhone XR. It's ugly and comes with compromises. We don't make ugly products and we don't do compromises.
- Work on getting Apple Pencil latency down to near-zero.
- Work on bringing 3D Touch to iPad.
- Bring out AirPower if it kills us.
- Put Thunderbolt 3 on iPad and iPhone.

Basically my goal is to bring consistency and minimalism to our product line. That's about it for now.

Oh, also, I'd kill Apple TV and replace it with something more Chromecast-like. Something with a nearly invisible user experience, no menus to dive through, no apps, no complications.

damn you would made it even worse

>How will you fix the company and it's products
give all intellectual property to the EFF
liquidate company

Fuck entry-level products, amirite?

Give Stallman authority over software development.

>fixing the most successful company
Yeah, no.

They do need to create a cleaner product line up, and get a lot more professional software on iOS though, plus making some iOS desktop mode for iPad Pro, so it could replace a laptop. And then once iOS has the software support, they can tell Intel to eat dick.

They also need to step up their media game. Exclusive deals with artists and shows. ALSO it might be worth to look into gaymer stuff and adding a gamepad to Apple TV. Gaymers are the best milking demographics, the only tricky part would be to win them without affecting the premium brand.

>If anyone wants a 12-inch MacBook-like device (for more casual use), they can use iPad Pro.
They are nothing alike. If anything, the new Air is a waste of space, since it's basically a castrated Pro that is barely any smaller or cheaper.

>I want my company's name alone to imply professional use.
That'd mean raising the prices further, since professionals don't give too many fucks. But at the same time, you need to reach the normal consumer for actual growth. Productname + Productname Pro is by far the best approach. It's the Air tag that doesn't make any sense anymore.

I will not stay CEO for long but it will be a glorious few years for sheeple

continue milking normies

I'd buy that

The absolute state of freetard, pulse audio says hello.

Make Apple dildos.
All their customers are fags anyway so it's untapped potential.

I ditch everything except the core product lines. Move all products to the super super A13 Pro DX chip, and make it so the traditional mac environment is basically a space within an iOS environment.

Also would remove the ridiculous developer program requirement for developing iOS apps and allow people to grab apps from less trusted sources at their own risk.

iOS Devices:

> encourage the use of wireless controllers for games
> support for mouse/trackpad input
> iBook: ARM laptop that runs iOS
> every iPhone or iPad comes with airpods
> Xcode

Also, price drops everywhere (within reason)

Not him, but I've literally never had a problem with pulseaudio and I don't get the meme.

everyone ITT forgot about Darwin. apple already tried open source and it flopped hard

invest in space exploration, energy company, memory chip company
continue to fuck in ass new and old customers with new patented ways

apple could legit take the desktop market for itself like this

>I am suddenly Tim Cook Checklist:
>ditch the notch, actively mock companies that followed our decision

>allow AASP's to stock parts

>stop trying to make shit slimmer, it's slim enough
>stop sucking cock

Shit out a super broken update to all devices first tho

Not hard, actually listen to the customer. Continue to attempt innovation while still making products that actually satisfy the needs of the customer

Design the products to be user repairable and upgradable, and durable and reliable. You could probably do all that and still afford to reduce the ridiculous prices that they sell their current chinese shit for, so I guess I would reduce the prices too

By watching their sales, every company listens to customers. Maybe most just don't agree with you, man?

>Linux supports way more hardware
That's the problem, think of linux as the red mage from final fantasy, able to fulfill any role but master of none. Think of MacOS as the white mage, good at a single role, but absolute shit at everything else. Apple has had to deal with basically the exact same hardware and OS for more than a decade, they know exactly how well a macbook works, what makes it tick. This is actually the reason why they don't deal with Nvidia, they didn't let them bypass the drivers for their gpus(unlike AMD). I'll admit that their product longevity is shit, but their drivers are top notch, and their productivity software is very good as well.

I'd kill myself because I'd be a faggot.

More notches

I was talking about the 12-inch standard MacBook, not the MacBook Air (which is 13").

The standard, fanless MacBook is thinner, lighter and cheaper than the MacBook Air but not powerful enough for basic tasks, so iPad would actually be a better option for most things.

>ok so kill everything and put mice on iOS for no reason
nice strategy

>That'd mean raising the prices further, since professionals don't give too many fucks.
Not necessarily. You wouldn't have to market your products as primarily 'pro'-focused, but rather keep everything the same price and market your devices as good for all tasks and user bases.

Ditch iOS and OSX
Install Gentoo

I know but you're wrong. All premium Intel chips from m3 to i7 that are 5-15W are basically the same shit, and more powerful than 90% of people will ever need. The only difference between the 12" and any Air is cooling, since Air has active one, it will be able to do constant workloads for longer at max speed.

Now the new MBP is actually different from most ultraportables, since it has a 28W quad core, while the weight and battery life and price are pretty close to the new Air.

12" MacBook has it's own niche due the size/weight that STILL no laptop can really hit. iPad doesn't have a real OS yet, so it's irrelevant for now.

>Kill it on the spot

That is neat af nigga

Spend $50B and invite every apple user and employee to Cupertino for a special event inside the ring at One Infinite Loo. Gas them.

>Implying a trillion dollar company needs fixing
If Apple was broken they wouldn't be where they are now.

Reassign everyone working on OS X to work on Arch.

Open source everything
apology for selling data
apology for cheating at benchmark
bring back upgradable (upgrade to buy from apple hardware store, I'm not crazy)

But the kernel in macOS IS open source. And being opens source does not mean you have to accept pull requests from anyone.
The quality of Apple shills really went down lately. Did they stop paying you a decent wage?
