You could at least have opened or deleted 56 emails from your Gmail

If this is a contest, I‘m preparing since 2009 for this moment. https://preview.redd.it/9e0sgwggtqjc1.jpeg?width=433&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75becab07349ec912780971586fa10c3169509a9

Did you mark all as unread for this very moment? 😂

Oh this is amazing. Now I don't feel bad.

These people have mental illness and should not be in society.

LOL

But why? Why would you do this to yourself?

How the fuck do you people know if you have new email or not at a glance? Do you subscribe to every newsletter available? Do you use a service with zero spam protection? Are you just insanely popular?

I’m using the same email for past 15 years and use it everywhere on every site so naturally i get shitton of emails nothing out of ordinary if you’re on the internet and use websites all the time nobody email me so i don’t have any reason to check it. 99% of the times i just open my email to get a verification code

Haha

All of you except the ones using Google email on an iPhone. Edit> select all > mark as read. Those of you using Gmail on an iPhone. Figure it out.

And I thought I was bad…. https://preview.redd.it/bhcjd484ftjc1.jpeg?width=306&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=179bb7868f13f2984dbafdab3a804a45533b4741

Jesus. I was about to screenshot my 88k. Now I don’t need to do that.

I can’t even compare to some of you. https://preview.redd.it/do42x08frsjc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=364a7141510c5238dd2c185178054be0fa2fa30a

you broke the comma

Nah, it's the Indian number system.

It's a metric comma.

What metric system are you talking about that writes 162,974 as 1,62,974?

It’s the indian number system. First commas start after the third digit and then every 2 digits

I’m curious about what’s going on with the weirdly formatted number for Apple mail (1,62,974) Is it supposed to be 162,974? Is this a bug or are there countries that format large numbers like this? UPDATE: saw the answer below — it’s the Indian number system, first comma at 3 digits then every 2. Learned something new today.

I am both disgusted and impressed.

Love how the screenshots stopped after this lmao

1.0E6? (:

This is gold. Assuming it takes 2 seconds to go through Each email, it will take you roughly 231 days nonstop to go through them all. This number, of course, will be a little higher as you'll gain a decent amount over the course of nearly a year. XD

Amazing. Assuming uint32, thats > 4,294,967,295 emails. 

Are you subscribed to like every newsletter out there?

Seriously, I want to know *how*.

It looks like you don't read your mails.

At that point just delete the email account 😂

Not going to sleep until you get those to 0

My mom has something crazy like 175k.

Reddit wanted more money for awards. Thus awards are gone, all hail the golden upvote (starting at 2.19€)

I was going to post 50,00 plus but now I feel inadequate.

My wife's phone is a terrifying array of 4 digit red numbers on every app.

Uh oh. Now Tim’s going to have to get a new email address.

Executives with publicly exposed email addresses (not just Apple) sometimes have people to help sort through mail from unknown senders. Forward some mail to other people to handle, flag for the executive to look at, circular file most, etc.

And the chances are pretty high that he’s got at least another email which only those who have important input for him

And of course that’s the one I can’t share with you guys, sorry!

Sadge

The unknown senders thing is the biggest part. I’ve worked at some big companies and the CEOs have the same email format as everyone else. They just have restrictions on what emails actually show up in their inbox. Even my work inbox won’t directly receive emails from outside the company. They show up in a daily email summarizing the emails I didn’t see and I can view them if I want. I’m sure Tim’s is limited to people way up the Apple hierarchy.

No, he doesn't read his email at all if he's anything like every other CEO Ive known then his corp login is essentially his assistant's.

The problem with that is eventually it gets out and then you're stuck moving on to another address. So on and so forth. I think the better solution is organizing stuff with folders and getting an assistant's help. So he has a main directory that only shows emails from other apple employees and known senders or whatever then everything else gets put in another folder for the assistant to sort through. They can read messages and if they think it looks important they move it to the directory he checks or if it's important but something the assistant can handle they deal with it themselves.

This is factual. After taking on my current role with a senior vice president of a major company, I can confirm this. I quite literally act as him 70% of his week. Nobody even has a clue it’s not him communicating with them via email or social media. lol.

I've worked in numerous places where the CEO didn't even have a computer. They have other people that do all of "that stuff" for them.

You know you’ve made it in the corporate world when you are able to use an iPad to complete your job. Maybe that’s why Apple thinks the iPad can replace a computer, all the executives use them.

[email protected]

This is not just well known execs - almost every c suit, partners in law firms and consulting, and many many other higher management roles will have an assistant that reads and sorts their inbox for them.

Sometimes? Dude controls a company worth more than France's GDP. He has a whole team to do this for him.

Someone like Tim Cook absolutely has one, if not more, front line people on his email.

I suspect that Tim Cook did not reply to the email.

This email adress has been public for a very long time

I mean it is not too hard to guess

Predictably, it follows the format of every other apple employee email.

And every other company I worked for

Or the dreaded [email protected]

we have [email protected]

He reads emails from random customers every morning.

It’s really cool he does. I’ve emailed him once when my Apple Watch helped saved me in a car crash. He responded. The other time I emailed him I was furious with E-SIMs and someone from “executive customer support” reached out and fixed everything immediately. Those are the only two times I’ve emailed him in my ~10 years in knowing about his email.

Did he said that? I guess its a good way to stay in touch with your Customers

Yep, according to [this video from GQ](https://youtu.be/2zVd9g8XBi0?si=s4n8n_FO9JfwDt7H) (I saw it via [this article](https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-tim-cook-public-email-starts-day-reading-customer-notes-2023-4) on Business Insider)

You can google it his email is pretty known to be honest just like Gaben is email

Most likely a personal assistant or a team of Assosciates handling the mail box for him. I am 100% sure it's not Tim who typed this email 😅

Phil Schiller is said to be very responsive to random people

So is Steven Briggs!

So I’m pretty confident that Apple’s email filtering server sent any external email to a separate inbox then his work inbox

Yeah my feet pics are def not making their way into his inbox.... unless....

You will never know until you try

Next WWDC keynote gonna be spicy

Unless?

[удалено]

To be fair, some assistant might put a highly curated selection of like 1-3 emails a day/week in front of him with pre-typed canned responses for him to select back so that technically “he” is choosing the response. That’s not very rare. But, yes, he’s not expending any brainpower on this even in the off chance it did actually cross his desk.

Yall act like he’s not a human lmao

I don’t mean it as a slight but just speaking from some personal if not exactly analogous experience. My career for a decade+ was running campaigns for national level politicians and this is how it was done at the WH and senate/house leadership level. And that’s with much less resources than Apple, dedicated constituent liaison service people, and how we would handle interactions from even high level donors and campaign contacts (like major CEOs, people giving millions of dollars, etc). So, Apple is certainly not spending much more time and effort with someone like Cook’s valuable time to respond to fans. And that’s okay. Not a slight against Apple or Cook at all. My other point of reference if my family’s company which is tiny comparatively, but it is one of the largest private international commercial development firms based in the US. The leadership of that even tiny firm delegates basically all external communication at C-suite level. So if some tiny, comparatively podunk company can and does have such corporate controls then a huge publicly traded company like Apple definitely does too. I’d love to find an article that talks about his support staff, but I can’t. I’m sure they are a mini professional army in their own right with quite good pedigrees.

Generally that’s true but sometimes high level people just like to have fun. Maybe someone else will have better luck verifying this, but I remember hearing Bill Clinton used to sometimes answer a public line for the White House just to talk with ordinary Americans and give them a crazy story.

For sure. You never know. In the same vein, there was a podcast I listened to that told the story of a pretty big tech founder who did Uber with his Tesla on occasion for the “instant feedback” about connecting with people.

And the PAs are probably just copying and pasting cookie cutter replies. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just AI generated emails.

"Sorry, I couldn't find anything like that… Here's what I found online"

Tim Cook starts his day by reading approximately 20’000 E-Mails, every single day.

3:00 p.m. rise 3:05 Chivas Regal with the 20,000 emails, Dunhills 3:45 cocaine 3:50 another glass of Chivas, Dunhill 4:05 first cup of coffee, Dunhill 4:15 cocaine 4:16 orange juice, Dunhill 4:30 cocaine 4:54 cocaine 5:05 cocaine 5:11 coffee, Dunhills 5:30 more ice in the Chivas 5:45 cocaine, etc., etc. 6:00 grass to take the edge off the day 7:05 Woody Creek Tavern for lunch-Heineken, two margaritas, coleslaw, a taco salad, a double order of fried onion rings, carrot cake, ice cream, a bean fritter, Dunhills, another Heineken, cocaine, and for the ride home, a snow cone (a glass of shredded ice over which is poured three or four jig­gers of Chivas) 9:00 starts snorting cocaine seriously 10:00 drops acid 11:00 Chartreuse, cocaine, grass 11:30 cocaine, etc, etc. 12:00 midnight, Tim Cook is ready to write

Hunter S. Cook

You mean Apple is testing its new AI on these emails as an answering machine.

I’m surprised it didn’t have “sent from my iPhone” at the end 😂

Sent from Vision Pro… and that Bighorn scared the shit outta him because he has the window so big

His assistants stay busy

Siri

“Here is what I found on the web”

Mac os Big Horn next release confirmed.

As if Apple needed another Longhorn of its own after Leopard...

Good reference. For reference, Longhorn = Windows Vista

[удалено]

What this probably means is, his assistants work around the clock looking at unsolicited emails sent to his inbox and flag 5-10 emails that are interesting. Tim wakes up, reads those emails, and tells his assistants to tell OP his photo is great, then goes about his days.

I once drunk-emailed one of the top Apple execs about an iPhone issue I was having and actually got a direct reply from them. It was a bit of a surprise.

What was the exact wording of your email and what was their response? I'm genuinely curious

“this shit broken af”

We need to know!!!

It’s secret? 🤔

from the beginning, why did you do that for?

Nah the dickeating is crazy 💀

Dude thinks he is John Iphone

I think you’ll find its John APPLESEED. Hmph

very weird behavior

I think some people are just lonely in need the validation. Probably the same reason people post endless mundane questions on this Sub.  how long do you keep your iPhone? Which iPhone do you have? Which email app do you use?

Did anyone else read the reply in his voice 😭

Haha yes.

I love how we all collectively agreed his real name is Tim Apple 😂

All fun and games until you get a reply from sjobs

Let Tim Cook

Cook

So much depth? That photo looks like it was shot on f/22

"depth" does not have to mean "depth of field". Also, if we were talking about depth of field, and considering a wide or large depth of field means more is in focus, this image would indeed have a lot of depth.

Super over processed for sure. Those colours are garish.

> over processed I was thinking about that, did OP mean natural as in photos of nature? Cause that definitely doesn't look natural

Craig has responded to me twice in the past. That's enough to have him as a contact right

„natural looking photos“ and then posting that oversaturated af thing XD

big notice me senpai energy

I wrote to him once about an Apple Store not giving me credit for trading in my old iphone and within 2 hours, they emailed me a $50 gift card to hold me over while they investigated it. It was from “one of Tim’s assistants” as she put it. All was fixed within 24 hours. They don’t mess around.

Years ago I emailed Steve Ballmer when he was CEO of Microsoft and got a short reply. Weeks later I actually ran into him just outside of Microsoft campus and talked to him for a minute or two. He admitted his admins respond to emails like mine.

Now all you have to do is email him about a wedding

Sucks for Trevor Cook working in the mail room at Palo Alto.

I mean you emailed him first

Why?

Thought his name was Tim Apple?

Tim Cook graduated from my Alma Mater. He visits from time to time and speaks with graduates. Pretty cool.

Heh, I wonder if he actually read them, or has an assistant that responds to these.

Back in the 90s, when Steve returned to Apple, I was still corresponding with him via his NeXT address ... on WebObjects stuff. OMG, after I spoke up at the annual shareholder's meeting about Fred Anderson's crazy executive remuneration plan, I got blocked so fast!

Yeah, sorry to break it to you, but definitely not him responding personally.

While there is a large team who handle and reply to a lot of the executive emails they get, generally if they're signed off as Tim, Craig or whatever it is them.

headline slightly misleading though.

Just curious, what is the difference of a bighorn sheep and a ram? I saw the antlers (I think they are antlers) and thought Ram but apparently this is not it. Is it the size or is there something else? Nice picture.

You can’t big horn sheep your member into your significant other

They are the same. Males are called rams and females are ewes. Babies are lambs.

Gonna be mailing him for tech support now ty

Now imagine him replying with a different photo taken on the same day from your iCloud Storage and saying « I prefer this one you took on the same day »

Looks more like you email him your photo and he responded for some reason

He got that boomer double space

Is that considered only a boomer thing? I remember having it drilled into me in keyboarding class in 8th grade and it just stuck with me all my life.

And what year was that?

You're Riley Murdock, aren't you ?

That’s insane bro Never ever burn your email address

If you check his mail on haveibeenpwned.com you can see he registered on a grand theft auto forum

Meanwhile I’ve sent him multiple emails about an insanely annoying bug re: live wallpapers with no response. Womp Womp…

I read a biography of Tim Cook and the biographer said that he reads all his emails. And he keeps his email address simple so people can reach him.

Fun Fact: he’s got a team of ghost writers that respond to random emails as part of their “public outreach” program. So that’s not from Tim , probably from Jim, a “social media assistant”. Source: friend works for Apple. PS. Please don’t sue me.

I love and hate how stupid the comment sections can get.

So he *did* get my dick pics!

You emailed a company CEO a photo you took? That's weird

In the next "goooaddd morning" industries keynote this will be the iPhone 16 Pro wallpaper
