I think Jobs could have made the iPhone without Ive, but not the reverse. It may not have been the same or as good, but Jobs would have found a way. That isn't

I think Jobs could have made the iPhone without Ive, but not the reverse. It may not have been the same or as good, but Jobs would have found a way. That isn't to say Ive isn't a genius.

Agreed. The other side of the count that most forget is that while Jobs was the guy who thought up and curated a lot of the great thinking that happened at Apple, He was also the guy that killed a lot of really good ideas/active projects that were not the absolute best of what Apple was producing in their respective timeframes (See: Newton, Pippen, Quicktake, OS9). This is a huge part of what made him a great innovator. Many companies don't have a "Jobs" to curate their ideas so they spend/waste a lot of money testing their ideas out in and on the public. (See: Dell Jukebox, Netbooks, HP TX2000).
