Hussain, I think you might have missed the point of Tim Cook’s statement. I’m pretty sure he meant “Not going to change”, as in “…not going to change Apple’s core values and direction.” I rather doubt he meant he was planning to sit back and let Apple become stagnant. After all, he was trained by, worked with and recommended by Steve himself.

Not that he needs it, but try to give him a little of your respect for years of service at Steve Jobs’ side.

I see it as a week letter coming from a new CEO who will lead the biggest promising company in the world.

I believe the statement is incomplete:

“I want you to be confident that Apple is not going to change”

it should change to better situation

Yes indeed, a great letter. Personally, as a longtime Apple and Steve Jobs fan(atic), I had no doubts about the direction of this marvelous company. But hearing it from Tim himself was timely, and warming. Thanks for posting it!

“I want you to be confident that Apple is not going to change. I cherish and celebrate Apple’s unique principles and values. Steve built a company and culture that is unlike any other in the world and we are going to stay true to that—it is in our DNA. We are going to continue to make the best products in the world that delight our customers and make our employees incredibly proud of what they do.”

TIM COOK FTW!
