p.s. on the potential
for Anderson having to step down from the Board, or Heinen taking a fall, obviously those don't hurt Apple in any really meaningful way.
And of course it's JMHO, and admittedly not particularly charitable, but if Peter Oppenheimer went down and the damage didn't extend any further, I would consider that a PLUS for Apple, LOL.
Schiller, frankly, wouldn't be a loss except to the extent Steve draws comfort and confidence from always having a yes-man to help administer Steve's agenda in the internal political swirl whenever Steve's away - be his eyes and ears.
But beyond that, it would be a major disruption and problem if they lost Tim Cook or Ron Johnson. Too much power has been aggregated in Cook. And for now, the retail team still needs more time to mature in order for a Johnson departure not to be traumatic.
All just an outsider's speculative and probably distorted point of view.
