Agreed - they had tonnes of amazing, creative talent during both Jobs eras, and they still do, but Jobs was clearly a crucial piece in their revolutionary product development. Without him, they’re not going to be knocking out products that literally alter society every 5 years or so. He’s not replaceable. Still, I think their attention to detail and user experience is about as strong as ever, for both their hardware and software. Innovation will still come out of Apple, just not as game changing as it used to be. I think they’ll transition to being sort of a “Samsung with better UX and attention to detail”, which is a company I’ll continue to buy products from, even if it is a bit of a letdown from what they were with Jobs.
