Steve Jobs wasn’t the innovator he was the guy trying to keep everything for Apple from a business perspective which you said should be distinguished from the people doing the actual innovative work. Also it’s an understatement to say that Steve could be a bit dramatic more for effect than anything else.
- dekervin 5y agoBoth fair points. But at very least it shows that feeling slighted is within the range of possible reactions. Regarding the original Iphone, once you get to the level of product decisions, it's perfectly legitimate to consider Steve Jobs one of the main innovators. Especially if you consider the decisions of what not to include on the device which was a matter of taste. And Again, Android in its pre-Iphone version is the perfect control group. I think Jobs was in the perfect position to realize how much "creative" work Google was borrowing for free and he felt it was is duty to do something about it whether he was within his rights or not. I am just guessing some of the technical people below him must have felt the same.
