> 100% of the top 20 YC companies by valuation have the .com of their name. 94% of the top 50 do. But only 66% of companies in the current batch have the .com of their name. That's not a straight comparison. A better stat would be,

How do you know what Steve Jobs would have done? Wouldn't Cook, Ive, and others who have worked next to him for over a decade be better equipped to make product judgements than any of us?

Whenever I see one of their products, I always think "if it's that good on the outside, imagine how good it is on the inside".

I think the ideal scenario would be to show the App Store description and screenshots from the last available version. This way, it would be the version last advertised on the App Store.
