Though Schiller transitioned from marketing chief to “Apple Fellow” in 2020 to take a step back from Apple and spend more time on personal projects and friends, he is reportedly working close to 80 hours a week.
Schiller is known for responding to emails almost immediately, and answering phone calls at all hours. He testified during the Epic v. Apple lawsuit to ardently defend the App Store, and he is involved in Apple’s EU messaging as well. Schiller joined in on Apple PR calls with members of the media when the iOS 17.4 changes were announced, and he spent time explaining how the DMA will impact user privacy and security in Europe.
It makes sense that sleep deprivation is the reason for App Store being such a nightmare.
sleep deprivation and coke would explain so much
How would you say the App store is a nightmare?
Discoverability doesn’t exist beyond what Apple shows you. Search is Amazon level of random. Pending updates were moved to account settings to make space for Apple Arcade.
Anyone who works that much, or at least that much not for themselves, is a fucking loser
Work smarter, not harder. Hire quality people underneath you who you can rely on to perform, so that you aren’t having to do all the work.
Talking about working 80 hours a week isn’t the brag you think it is. It means something is systemically wrong.
What is this the 2010’s? CEOs and their dipshit staff trying to make multitasking great again? They think 80 hour work weeks is a flex? How’s his family? In a shambles or non existent? These rich people are such losers they just keep embarrassing themselves.
I obviously don’t have any inside information, but my guess is that he’s not flexing with this, he just can’t let it go, he probably should. Especially since he’s already halfway in retirement.
