> I doubt John Ternus will change direction anytime soon, since it will look like he’s reversing the plethora of eyesore ads that Tim Cook added over his tenure.

Ternus was one of the main people driving these eyesores. He wasn't a nobody.

why do you say a hardware VP would be driving adware? totally different part of the apple world, at least when i was there for years.

    Sorry. For some reason got him mixed up with Steve Lemay lol.

    But still.

    Everyone keeps blaming just one guy for enshittifying Apple, be it Alan Dye or Tim Cook. As if literally no other executive or senior manager has any say in anything that happens.

    Even here.

    Joh Termus was just picked up randomly out of a box. He never knew what was happening at the company, is entirely new to Apple, and never weighed in on any decision besides hardware. That is why he was picked to checks notes lead all of Apple.
