I give this one a big maybe.... What's definite is Cook talks a lot about design but clearly has no handle at all on function or marketing. Everything from the overly scripted, mercurial presentations to examples used in canned videos is all so far from reality it's a caricature of itself.

This felt especially true today at two different points in the video when it felt like Apple was trying desperately to sound like they still had a Jony Ive. They were looking like other companies during the Jobs era cosplaying as Apple.
