Blast from the past
Today Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple CEO and Phil Schiller is scaling back his involvement in the company’s events and his supervision of the App Store.…
The former Apple CEO, Tim Cook, is set to depart his role, while Phil Schiller is reducing his participation in the company's events and the oversight of the App Store. Recalling my personal collection, the earliest photograph I found of these two Apple executives, featuring Tim (left) and Phil (right), dates back to October 2008.
This image was taken during a post-event Q&A session, a practice that was once prevalent. In the accompanying video, it becomes evident that Cook, who was then Apple's COO, was tasked by Steve Jobs to deliver a presentation on the state of the Mac. This marked a departure from Cook's typical role as a host for presentations by others, showcasing his active involvement in showcasing Apple's Mac lineup to a live audience of media personnel.
Among the notable products unveiled at this event was the unibody MacBook Pro, which featured an all-button multitouch trackpad. As Cook and Schiller bid their farewells, it appears they will continue to maintain a presence within the Apple ecosystem for many years ahead.
