Infobox photograph needs a scale

I noticed that the Infobox photograph of Apple corporate headquarters resembles a ghost town. One of the first rules of photography is to incorporate a scale into the picture. This picture must have been taken on Sunday or a national holiday. A replacement photo with people in the picture would be in order. Anthony22 (talk)

It is not clear where this would be added. This is also not likely eligible for inclusion because it is not notable and because Wikipedia is not a how-to instruction resource.

Should discuss anti-poaching agreements - there was a settlement that allowed Apple not to talk about it.

Jony Ive

Seeing as how Jobs confirmed that Ive holds more power at Apple than anyone else I updated the article to include the details yet an editor almost immediately removed the entry, can someone explain why someone with more operational power at Apple than any other member of staff not be mentioned?

@DNA Cowboy: As I mentioned in my edit summary, our guidelines for infoboxes on company articles specifically say that key staff should be limited to four entries, which you exceeded with your addition. Although I currently do not see any need to do so, a present entry could be replaced with that of Ive, but that would likely require consensus (not quite uncontroversial), and you could count me in on the opposing side, as the four presently listed hold executive power to some extent.

@Lordtobi: Hello, Ive holds more executive power at Apple than all of the others combined, people assume his remit is just design, it isn't. Subsequently, I think we need to remove one of the others then as Ive is the 'key' person and with the most control at Apple as Jobs (via Isaacson)confirmed which if you don't mind, I'll quote: According to Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, the company's late chief executive gave Ive a unique position within the company. Jobs told Isaacson: "He's not just a designer. That's why he works directly for me. He has more operational power than anyone else at Apple except me. There's no one who can tell him what to do, or to butt out. That's the way I set it up."I suggest we remove the COO and replace him with Ive but in the second entry as the Apple Leadership page states that Ive 'reports to Cook; however, we all know that is for public consumption. Thoughts?

Edit. Here is another fascinating piece on Ive's executive power within Apple. The fourth paragraph deals directly with Ive's position in relation to Tim Cook, Apple analysts go on to cite the official Apple 'leadership' website page and conclude its a crock for public consumption. DNA Cowboy (talk) 14:19, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Oh, I wasn't aware that had actually significant executive leadership within the company. If that is the case, please go ahead to add him and remove the COO. I suppose Ive is best seated below Cook. Lordtobi (✉) 17:03, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Fix Possible Confusion

Under the iPhone section, when talking about iPhone 8 and X, we currently mention wireless charging after the iPhone X, formatted as just another feature for it. Perhaps note that both models have wireless charging.

Confusion!

Hello,

I am a bit confused as to how the Apple, Inc. page is roughly 7 to 8 pages long, containing an excessive amount of information that is hard to navigate through, when there is a similar page (American Diabetes Association) that was recently edited down to 3 paragraphs. Is there a specific reason as to why this page is able to contain so much information on the company, while the ADA page has been shortened down so drastically? Thank you!
