Here's some unanswered Steve Jobs questions of mine I haven't be able to stop thinking about.
Did S.J pick the right successor? S.J built Apple as a machine he controls, optimised for himself, to build many wonderful products. The co-pilot is now in charge. Apple will be able to milk the iPhone, just as it was able to milk the Apple II, but will Apple be able to move on to the next great thing? How long will Apple's success continues for? Assuming it will continue for the next half decade, will we keep getting advances in consumer technology in the 10 years after that?

- Jach 15y agoI'm cautiously betting that Apple will end up like current Microsoft. They'll stagnate to some degree, have some more ups and downs, and they'll still be around for a long while. They've grown to a tremendous height, they have a long way to fall.
