I don't know anything about Ives' business skills, but I'd worry that making him CEO would be promoting him to his level of incompetence. He's a fantastic designer, and I'd rather not see him distracted from that role.
But it might be wise for him to have final approval over product designs, the way Jobs presumably does now.

- dieterrams 16y agoYou know, Jobs keeps insisting Siri is an AI company... "Hey virtual Steve, should we add this feature?" "Get rid of it." "Should we keep this feature?" "Get rid of it." "What do you think about--" "That's shit."
