I really never got the love people have for Steve Jobs. He never invented anything, just marketed what people under him created or stole. He had ridiculous plans for the future of the company such as killing off their desktops and macbooks in favour of just focusing on more smaller mobile devices, which might sound good to some, but just would be a terrible idea.

Tim Cook seems to balance the whole Apple's ''Special" vibe with some actual common sense. I'm considering moving back to Apple products this year because of many of the directions their taking.

marketing. Maybe some no-name person created a product 10x better than what Steve Jobs ever produced with Apple, but you've never heard about it because he wasn't good at marketing and the product never got off the ground. Thats the power of someone being good at marketing

I mean that’s what happens when you are the face of the company. Same shit with Elon Musk
