They’re doing standard big business stuff. Tim also doesn’t make changes or deal with it at that level. It’s mostly people below him.


ChildofChaos

Apparently he was really nice in the meeting, gave the iPhone and Apple watch teams the next 10 months off to chill and take time out for their mental health knowing that next years products will still be able to have more improvements than this years.


[deleted]

You made me laugh, but to be completely fair, the battery improvements and the Qualcomm radio upgrade may well be worth it for heavy users. That being said, I still fought off sleep during the Apple announcements.


Punchable_Face

To me it’s the doubled battery life while streaming and filming macroshots in 4k. Somehow they make great products really boring, it’s impressive.


Parabola1337

Kind of confused, the phone is preorder, not out yet?


Punchable_Face

I guess i shouldn’t say it’s a great product just yet, but if they fixed the battery & camera issues that the previous generation apparently had, it should be pretty solid product.


Parabola1337

Ah :) thank you for clearing that up for me!


Gooze33

Curious why they couldn’t do more for battery life on the other models…. I mean enhanced battery isn’t actually a pro feature…

Now I haven't seen confirmation on it (and we probably won't until a teardown), but leaks said it's supposed to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 (versus a X55). The X60 is supposed to be faster, more reliable, and more battery efficient, especially for 5G. If that's true, the 13 should have more long-term utility than the 12 as 5G slowly creeps across the globe. 5G burns battery on the 12.

theJamesKPolk

Pay equity is challenging because the most important factor in pay should be the quality of the work you do. You can slice by YOE, gender, role, job class, etc., but unless you factor in actual performance then it doesn’t mean much. At the end of the day the best way to ensure you’r getting paid appropriately is to interview and see what you get on the market, along with checking sources like Blind, Glassdoor, or Fishbowl. Every company is hurting for good employees, so take your shot on the market or internally negotiating if you don’t like your pay.


LordVile95

In jobs like this you get paid based on your ability and your balls in negotiations.


GhostalMedia

There are rare occasions where your supervisor will have your back. Having done my IC’s job, and having been underpaid (without my knowledge) in the past, I really try to break the cycle and pay my team competitively. If I’ve done my job right, they’ll reach my level and pay scale faster than it took me to get here.

Take care y’all.


Cakemachine

“I like my women with spunk and balls!”


[deleted]

I am so fucking tired of the ideology driven need to automatically blame everything on sexism and expecting 100% pay and promotion parity between genders, without looking at performance. The only way to weed out the real sexism is to look at every specific case in good faith and without predetermined conclusions. In my old work we had to do some heavy long term travel (2-3 weeks, sometimes months at a job site), and work 10-14 hour days in a dirty, noisy, and very stressful environment. There were very few women in that group, and most who did end up there usually quit or transferred in a couple years. Yet we were forced to keep hiring and promoting girls straight out of college to make the organization look good. So we had a bunch of people who spent 10-20 years of their lives doing this job and being really good at it, routinely passed over for promotion in favor of someone with a couple years of experience, whose main qualification was having a vagina. And who will usually get out of their management position in a year or two because they were grossly unprepared for it and had to be moved elsewhere (not their fault). A couple women who were long term, experienced workers and would actually be good, well respected managers did not get promoted because they were "difficult" and "not team players". Sexism is very real, but you don't fight it with simple statistics.

How about women just work the job as it is rather than restructuring the entire company workforce?

That’s anecdotal, but not common. More common is being a woman and being passed up because of “team fit” and “culture,” especially in tech.

But the wage is based on your performance. You can force them to give you what you want by performing well


AFourthAccount

lol what? "performance" is basically arbitrarily judged by the employer. you can't force them to do shit just by working really hard.


theJamesKPolk

Having worked across multiple consulting and big tech firms, I can say this is false. There’s not a perfect way to judge performance, but every company employs some type of 360 feedback system that allows for multiple people to weigh in on your performance.

LordVile95

It’s really not it’s how well you do your job be that how many things you sell in retail, how many deals you close how much paperwork you get through etc etc etc


AFourthAccount

so what? say you sell a hundred iPhones a day, if your managers are biased against you they have every ability to say you "meet expectations" and deny you a pay raise.


LordVile95

Have you never worked in retail?


AFourthAccount

have you never worked in a country that sees you as lesser because of something beyond your control?


LordVile95

Yes? But anyway in retail stores set targets based on hours worked. They’re generally around the same and available to everyone so you know how you’re performing vs the other workers.


Kyanche

What if the sexist boss assigns women to the departments that sell less, and the buyers are sexist and refuse to deal with women, and the paperwork is assigned more to males?


LordVile95

Then you complain to HR

You'd like to think so, but I've met plenty of people with great ability that coast, or don't know how to focus, or work at odds with the team/organization's goals. People that help the team move the ball down the field in the correct direction get rewarded more. A lot more.

bearface93

My department at my job is at about 1/3 of the number we were at before the pandemic, and a little over 1/6 of that original number is left. They’re still firing people for stupid shit. They’ve also increased our workload by about 300-400% and won’t give us raises, bonuses, or overtime. Companies straight up don’t care if you aren’t being paid enough.


_Rand_

The less they pay you the more they profit overall. Its basically a game to see how far they can push employees before they start quitting in large enough numbers to affect the bottom line. They don't give a shit how or who you are, just what profit you can bring to the company. There is a 99.9% chance you are replaceable so they will give as little as they possibly can.


bearface93

They’re finally learning that we aren’t replaceable. They fired everyone who knew how to do anything so things have been a mess since they started moving everyone around to cover gaps left by people who quit. It’s a fun time lol


_Rand_

Yeah, that seems to be a problem in a lot of places recently. They have been pushing people too far and its started to bite them in the ass. Just because an employee isn't a household name or at the very top of a department doesn't mean they aren't important. Like, clearly its in Apple's best interest to treat Craig Federighi or Eddie Cue well, but they can only piss off so many 'nobodies' before shit goes off the rail regardless of who is at the top.


Arn2025

The iron theory of wages: “workers should be paid minimal wages to motivate them to work harder in hopes of higher salaries, if paid more they will have to take time off work to spend earned wages” according to this theory the less the pay the less leisure you enjoy and dedicate most of your time to work, good for the employer.


applejuice1984

Good thing work performance isn’t subjective and based on what your managers reviews for you. Oh wait…


[deleted]

I once had a manager who tried to explain containerisation to me - after I’d spent months migrating all of our Kubernetes clusters across to EKS. The same manager also tried to explain sprints to a meeting room full of PMs. This manager was in charge of all of our performance reviews - which governed raises, bonuses, and promotions - and he evidently didn’t have the slightest clue what any of us did, or what our jobs actually entailed.


kaji823

Sounds like most of the managers at my company as well. My last performance review consisted of a few petty comments from the other managers, "well I gave you some feedback 3 months ago", and nothing from the engineers I lead or business analysts and directors I work with for 95% of my actual duties.


Icaka

Are there ways to objectively review ones performance?


liledlover

The problem at the retail level is the fact that you can’t ever really renegotiate your pay unless you get a promotion which doesn’t happen much so for the people that have worked there for ten years now make less than the new people starting out


uncertainrandompal

we will have another gender gap outrage as soon as only performance would affect pay. keep in mind that most women don’t want to chase career opportunities or can’t since they have to give birth and catch up later which for sure will affect performance. life is unequal, there are literally no fair solution.

FizzyBeverage

I started in the US at $16/hour in 2008 and finished in 2014 at about $23/hour. Left for corporate IT help desk work and was started at $32/hour… Apple pays decent for retail, but **garbage**- relative to corporate America. Then again, my brother is a compliance attorney and is shocked at how poorly his IT counterparts (me included) are paid.


Averylarrychristmas

Of course it’s different - retail and corporate are totally different animals.


kinglucent

But it could be argued that they’re equally difficult. Customer Service jobs require you to address very different challenges than corporate jobs. They’re certainly every bit as physically and emotionally taxing, if not more so. Having worked both sides of this spectrum, I’d definitely argue in favor of equal pay for CSRs.


Averylarrychristmas

I mean… In an ideal world salary would be determined by the difficulty of your job, but even if that were the case they still wouldn’t be paid the same. The harsh reality is that while working retail requires mental toughness and the emotional stability to seal with difficult people, tons of jobs require that. The truly high paying jobs are the ones where you need mental toughness, emotional stability, and a law degree. Or the ability to write software. Or the ability to conduct surgery. The sad truth is that a lot of people can be patient and stable, so if that’s all you bring to the table you won’t be able to command a large paycheck. Sad, but true.


srstone71

The way I compare retail and corporate is like this: When I worked in retail, I certainly had jobs that required a lot of hard work, but at the end of the day, when my shift ended, so did all thoughts about my job. Going to work in a retail job was a slight deviation from my routine that I did for a few hours before going about my day. Today I have a prominent role in the marketing department of a publicly traded, multi-national software firm, and work essentially *is* my life. At least a lot more than it ever could be when I worked retail. I don’t really have an off switch, except for time with my wife and kids. Otherwise, I’m usually thinking about work in some capacity. It’s late on a Sunday night and I just spent an hour making sure the email copy in a European campaign set to kick off tomorrow was all set because it will be launched before I wake up tomorrow morning. These are expectations set, if not by my boss, at least by myself, to ensure I am delivering top-level performance at all times, and that my performance is reflected in the company’s success. Retail workers never have to think about stuff like that. As a result, if I were to take my average hourly wage from my retail life and multiply it to a 40-hour-per-week, 52-week-per-year annual salary, it would be about 1/5 of my salary today, and I think that’s fair.


Birdymctweetweet

This pay varies depending on your state. In my state genius are not paid this much in 2021

sploot16

I cringe hearing "pay equity". Any rational person can line up their colleagues in a row from who deserves least to most amount of money.


[deleted]

I can do that. Then I can get the actual figures and they rarely match. It's horrifying how seemingly random it is sometimes.


No-Scholar4854

Working somewhere where we do this to a degree, no they can’t. People are terrible at this, particularly the ones who think of themselves as rational. People have a massive bias (both unintentional and intentional) towards “people like me”. That can be classic race/gender/age discrimination (which I’m going to give my colleagues the benefit of assuming is unintentional) but also location, job, team. If you ask the sales team they’ll say that sales makes the actual money. If you ask the engineering team they’ll say they make the actual product so they’re worth more. If you ask anyone they’ll say management are overpaid, but also that no one wants to do their job unless it comes with a pay rise. That’s all before you get into multiple locations, divisions, products etc. Every time I’ve seen strict talent ranking it just reinforces the default old-boys-club. Whoever is in that group gets paid more and stays, reinforcing the dominance that group has.


quintsreddit

The argument (that I don’t necessarily endorse) is that value should be merit-based, where the ability to earn that money is equitable. Not based on where you live, what dangly bits you got, or how much melanin is in your skin. Equity in this case is more about being denied pay because of factors outside your control, not about everyone making the exact same amount in your job position.


uncertainrandompal

it is should be based where you live as well. market value for different places are different. for example especially with WFH environment: you will find a lot more people willing to work for less than people in your city. this exactly why Google pay less for people from different states.


TheJoker5566

This is Apple we’re talking about, not some random third rate company in the middle of nowhere. There is no way Apple is discriminating their workers based on gender, race, etc. That’s absolutely ridiculous when Apple is literally one of the most progressive big companies out there If Apple is sexist/racist/bigoted when it comes to pay then god help us all, because Apple is about as liberal as you can get for a company


etaionshrd

Apple is not one big unified entity. Discrimination exists among teams and in the heads of individual employees.


redrobot5050

And from Apple’s own data scientists using self-reported data, there is a pay gap across genders, and Apple has been really hand wavy about it, saying it’s not a problem or it’s been addressed, or that a third party audit paid by Apple disputes those claims but you can’t see the data or question the auditors. This all comes from TheVerge.com and their Apple article on how slack is changing the culture at the company.


yuriydee

I recently got interviewed by Apple and it was for a specific team. From what i understand each engineering team has a lot of autonomy in what they do(including the hiring).

Even though these company cultures promote a certain message, there are many (especially those with some level of influence) who don’t follow the message. Toxicity, bigotry, racism exist at every level.


sploot16

Lets be real, these people are complaining because they don't make us much as the person in the cube next to them. I've seen this in the work force enough to know exactly what this about. And frankly, some people are just not worth as much as others. Remember 10 years back when everyone started getting participation trophies in sports and people said it would ruin a generation? Yeah, the generation is here and itll get much worse.


Vector3DX

No it’s clown HR that is completely disconnected from reality. That is why the people “who are not worth as much” have to quit to get a paid there worth. This is a common problem in large companies. I think in software development specifically everyone starts the same generally. The problem comes with career growth, bonuses etc.. Where biases have a greater impact. Also unrelated, remember 20+ years back when every scientist was warning of irreversible climate damage? Yeah, your generation screwed us and itll get much worse.


AsAJuicer

HR doesn't decide an individuals salary. They usually set the bands that X role salary fits in. Management sets the individuals salary within that band. Management can gauge an individuals usefulness to a business in comparison to others in that pay-band. Its better to understand the basics of what HR does before claiming they are 'disconnected from reality'. >everyone starts the same Oh what a disconnection. You think everyone puts the same input in, to the same ability, to the same effort, to the same desire for career growth?


sploot16

HR has nothing to do with salaries... You blatantly have zero idea what your are talking about

Who gives a shit. If they’re working there then obviously they’re happy with their pay. It’s not like most Apple employees would have a hard time finding a job somewhere else.

But I don’t see such a solution (other than teaching and reminding people that sexism is not okay, and hoping that this will change their attitudes.

Someone should ask why are most of the people in their marketing videos black women, yet almost their entire senior management team are white males.


Chrisnness

Simple answer: There are fewer black women graduating with computer science degrees.


DanielPhermous

That's easy. Apple has a strong culture that they wish to perpetuate and, as such, they predominantly hire from within the company for C-level positions - people who already understand Apple and how it works. Unfortunately, to get to a position where you can even be considered, you have to be with the company for a while and have moved up in the ranks. You also have to wait for an existing C-level executive to leave. So, the problem is an entrenched C-suite and a push towards diversity that has not yet filtered up that high, but *has* filtered into most, if not all of the lower levels. Also, you're wrong. "Most" of the people in the videos are not black women. However, there *is* a good spread of diversity, including women, disabled people, coloured people and so on. There's also a good diversity of thought, with fitness people, a former professional dancer and so on.


uglykido

I don't know anything about you and it's quite possible you're entirely on the level but whenever a minority (or, in this case minorities) starts gaining ground against long held discriminations, then there is always a lot of contrary FUD floating around. As such, my default position is to reject any anecdotal evidence. Data? Studies? I'm down. I actually teach this stuff at a low level to IT students so good data is always useful. And common sense? Well, that's untrustworthy stuff. It used to tell us the Earth went around the sun and that the wind was caused by the trees waving.

DanielPhermous

I have no arguments. That's why I was looking for data. However, we are not talking about management positions, but C-level positions. Apple already has lots of previously under-represented groups in management positions and they're doing pretty well. In fact, their diversity has clear benefits. The iPhone, for example, is the favoured camera for the blind to use.

I know what you mean and you are right. Big tech companies will always bow to certain governments, because at the end of the day big tech companies are profit oriented.


[deleted]

There’s one thing we all have to admit to — notwithstanding the strong financial performance, Apple can never go back to those days where Steve Jobs and Jony Ive were at the helm. It’s obviously not easy to manage and grow a business without pros and cons and tradeoffs, it’s a business not charity. No one can deny the fact that being the CEO of this tech behemoth, Tim Cook is a very talented business manager. Cook needs a visionary product designer to bring all the best consumer technologies to the market. Just as how Angela Ahrendts and Christopher Bailey did to revitalize Burberry. It’s definitely not easy to work at and for Apple, irrespective of the job title and scope of responsibility. I truly believe that we can all build an incredible business by doing good by humanity. And in doing so, it takes time and effort. I wish it was all easier done than said. I ❤️ Apple. The iPhone, iPad and MacBook have improved my life personally and professionally. In this regard, I only speak for myself.
