Speaking of decline, I think Apple is starting what will be a epic landslide of biblical proportions. Tim Cook doesn't seem to have any vision at all. The iPhone 5 is a joke. It's a cop out. Tim Cook chickened out when he merely elongated the iPhone.
Now Apple has that "blue sky" program in effect for employees, and I'm even more convinced Tim is frantically searching for ideas to show him the way.
As for the late Steve Jobs, I was wondering if he had left some future plans for Tim, but apparently not. He was dying. Apple was the most awe-inspiring company in the world under Steve's leadership. He proved his point. I don't think he was concerned about how well Tim would do or even if Apple survives. The show was over for him, and I think it'll soon be over for Apple too.
- gareim 14y agoYou really believe that Steve Jobs, who was known for his ability to foresee what others in the industry couldn't, didn't plan one year ahead for one of his flagship products? No, the iPhone 5 almost certainly was a Jobs product.

Pretty much all of Apple's upper level are rockstars; at least in comparison to their peers in most other companies (excepting Musk). Can they keep it going with Steve gone? I don't know, but their chances are good as long as they recognize cover each other's weaknesses. From what I've seen of Cook so far, I have no doubt he is well aware of what his strengths and weaknesses are so that's hopeful.
