Doesn't Jobs often have his name included on patent filings by Apple? That would indicate to me that he's pretty involved in product development.

- ebaysucks 16y agoThe OP doesn't say he isn't.
- Samuel_Michon 16y agoRight, that's why I said he's mostly a CEO in title. Inventing new technology isn't typically part of the job description of a CEO at a major corporation.

However, having a single "auteur director" type heightens the image of Apple products as true masterworks, so Apple spends a lot of time focusing on Jobs' larger-than-life genius image.
