Apple Board of Directors reportedly concerned about the speed of innovation

apple-ceo-tim-cookCharlie Gasparino of Fox Business News reports that according to his sources, Apple Board members are concerned about the pace of innovation at the company.

From what we understand, there is concern at the board level, sources are telling the Fox Business Network, about the pace of innovation over at Apple. What have they had lately? They had the iPad and a few other things, but they don’t have anything innovating from what came from Steve Jobs and that concern is basically manifesting into pressure on Tim Cook to innovate, and to do something fast.

We should point out, this is an interesting boardroom drama. It does not mean that Tim Cook is out of a job or that there is a job search out there, we don’t know that and I don’t believe that is happening. In fact, sources inside Apple are saying that’s not the case.

What we are able to confirm is that the board is worried about what is in the pipeline. Do they have the right stuff in the pipeline? Do they have innovative stuff in the pipeline? Do they have stuff to keep the momentum going?


Ever since Steve Jobs passed away, there have been concerns raised about the pace of innovation at Apple. Those concerns have been growing even more louder this year, due to the lack of any new product launches this year (except for the refreshed MacBook Air).

Since Apple Board members have access to the company future plans, this report if true raises questions whether Apple will indeed launch the rumored Television set or smartwatch this year

What do you think? Are you concerned about the speed of innovation at Apple? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.
