You mean whether Apple can come up with new, innovative products. Cook should be able to recognise good from bad and keep an eye on quality, but not be expected to come up with The Next Big Thing.
Read some of Ive's infrequent interviews, he uses the word "we" never "I" to discuss the design process. That is what makes Apple so successful.

Jobs seemed to have a good relationship with some of his employees and I'm sure that there is a lot left in Apple for the next five-to-ten years.
