“Right now, we’re selling millions and millions and millions of phones a year, Apple is selling zero phones a year.” Maybe the dumbest statement in the history of tech. Certainly the most ill-advised.
ParisLemon — The Beatles Have No Chance Of Making It In The Music Industry
Ballmer did not just dismiss the idea of an iPhone; like many top CEOs in other company, he fails to see iPhone would give birth to tablet and make a serious dent to Microsoft. Probably because Baller was in denied for so long, that alone give a great head start to Apple in mobile devices and eventually blow dust at Microsoft face.
This happens to Apple before. Apple fired Steve Jobs. Microsoft gets the head start and dominate the world with Microsoft Windows.
Will Tim Cook be the next Steve Ballmer?
I have no doubt Apple is a sinking ship if Jony Ive leaving Apple. I know this is a baseless statement. Every video, every occasion point to Jony Ive was the man responsible for the cool product. Tim Cook was the boss who happens to have a team of innovators. Can Apple lives without the two? No way!
Steve Ballmer at his best.
