Cook’s Time to Shine
Oct 2nd, 2011 by kevmason
Tim Cook gets to strut his stuff with the upcoming release of another iPhone. Taking over in August, Cook has taken the role of CEO at Apple Inc. It’s a huge step taking over Jobs; his dedication to the company and persuasive personality has sold us every Apple product. Cook will be very different. He’s not known for being a product pitcher. It will be a very different approach towards Apple’s products.
In a way, Steve Jobs was the face of Apple. His face would be beside the iPod, iPhone, and iPad at every sales speech. His guest appearences would bring crowds of thousands. And his sales pitches transformed a simple want to a desireable need. Much like Jack Layton and the NDP, it will take a little while to get used to the transition.
However, I highly doubt this will cause any difference in the number of sales of another brilliant iPhone. The amount of hype and excitement that was built up after the release of the iPhone 4 last year is still lingering as Apple fans are counting down the days. Jobs has done an excellent job at keeping this excitement. Hopefully Cook will be able to fit in his shoes and continue the company’s success.
