Some guy we never heard of is leaving. He was apparently the vision pro guy.

Him leaving will have no effect on the long term success (or lack thereof) of Apple’s smart glasses roadmap.

Glad to hear it, really looking forward to Apple make the first of these glasses that aren't a total POS.

Do you guys find yourself agreeing with Gurman or disagreeing with him?

I find that he seems to sometimes overreact to everything. I mean Apple is a large company, it's not perfect, and sometimes people leaving is a good thing it makes way for new people. Siri was stale for a long time and it was because of the people there. Look what happened when they left, Siri seems to have a new life now.

He’s either not a very deep thinker, or he purposely writes with an anti-Apple slant for one reason or another.

I remember when Apple was doomed in the early '90s. It got to be so much of a habit with them that it was like there was an eternal cloud of doom hanging over 1 Infinite Loop all the time every day.

Apple had some interesting CEOs during the 90s: Sculley, Spindler, Amelio. I recall several times when I wondered whether my favorite computer company would survive.
