Clickbait built on 2 fantasy notions:
1- that Jobs would somehow be the hero of a mythical arab/syrian culture and diversity politics who would
have behaved differently than Cook towards Trump.
If anything, Jobs cherished the white working suburban middle class of the west coast that has been destroyed in the last generations. He _never_ behaved as a white knight and nobody knows what he would have done (and nobody knows how hard Cook's political equation is)
2- that Apple is due for perfect, idealized products that fill 100% of people's void. This guy explains that iPhones make too many compromise and the OS is just "good enough".
Would be curious to hear of _one single_ previous or current OS platform or hardware at that scale that matches Apple's 2026 line up.
- rsanheim 1y agouhmm... wat? where was there any mention in the OP of Jobs about diversity or his Syrian background?
- pi-err 1y agoThat's one is first point: "don't buy anything Apple" based on the linked Anil Dash's post, itself based on Arab Steve Jobs fantasy and Cook's supposed betrayal.
- Apocryphon 1y agoJobs seemed mostly apolitical, but a joke could be that he would've bankrolled RFK Jr. to victory in 2024, while forcing him to stick to the moderate position where he was in 2008 when Obama considered making him head of the EPA.
