“Samsung sells spec sheets, Apple sells products.”

“Tim Cook remains solid as an event anchor. He’s measured, methodical, and supremely knowledgeable about Apple and their products. That sounds obvious, but many CEOs don’t come off that way. He’s an operations guy, not a product guy, but he’s better than 99% of the keynote speakers out there, and if anyone knocks him it’s only be he’s taken over from the best keynote speaker in the history of the industry, the late Steve Jobs. That stage was owned by Jobs. He was infectiously engaging yet, at the same time, looked as though, at any moment, he could spin around and end you with a glare. That’s an impossible act to follow. That Cook turned in a solid performance, that Phil Schiller remained affable and informative, that Eddy Cue brought a little bass, was not only commendable, but given the circumstances, phenomenal.”
