Love him or hate him; you have to respect the reality that good leadership and vision is what got this company from it’s main competitor bailing it out 25-ish years ago to becoming one of the most valuable tech companies in the world.
I believe a lot of that came from recognizing and adapting to trends, such as when Napster was an huge thing and Apple chased after a legal digital music option.
I think for anyone who was big on tech in the 90’s, Apple’s current position was unthinkable, such as SEGA no longer being in the console market.
