I can assure you that Tim Cook doesn’t review every product. I seriously doubt he even knows what’s going on with half of them. There is absolutely no way that he used the butterfly keyboards and said they were acceptable.

Compare that to Jobs who after he announced the iPhone and started using it, saw how much the screen scratched and went back to the drawing board and had then re-engineer it before it shipped six months later. He even announced they were doing it.

Better yet, the infamous “what does Mobile Me suppose to do?…Then why the f%%% doesn’t it do that?”.

You noticed that Cook didn’t wear the Vision Pro once during the introduction? Compare that to Jobs introductions of the iPhone and the iPad.

Rumors are, that Cook doesn’t even use a Mac day to day.

On the other hand, Jobs didn’t use a Mac after his return until OS X was released. He was also definitely not a fan of the Motorola phone with built in iTunes that he introduced on stage.

Can you imagine Cook writing an open letter on Apple.com like “Thoughts on Music” or “Thoughts on Flash”?

I think the true part of the rumor is that people misinterpreted a reporter reporting that the reporter did not use an apple mouse.

An iPad.

But the CEO of Google did use a BlackBerry years after Android was introduced.
