Apple CEO Tim Cook is having a rough go of it lately. Between political heat from Trump, legal battles with judges and regulators, pressure from lawmakers, and even criticism from former Apple heavyweights, it seems like everyone’s taking a swing at the tech giant. This year’s challenges are piling up, and Cook’s leadership is under more scrutiny than ever.

Editor’s Note: Apple isn’t just dealing with the usual market pressures—it’s facing a perfect storm of political, legal, and internal drama. For a company that thrives on polished public perception, these struggles could dent its reputation and even impact its business moves. If Cook can’t steer the ship through these choppy waters, investors and customers might start losing confidence.
