This is ridiculous. I'm not going to argue with you after this reply, because you're rewriting history.
> I'd suggest actually reading up the product release and what happened after.
I'd suggest not making assumptions. I don't have to "read up [sic] the product release and what happened after", because I was alive at the time. Were you?

>> Jobs was the leader of a team.
> Like Tim Cook.
No. As I already said, "Cook literally never led a software or hardware product team until he became CEO".
> Yes, and if you understand what happened there, it was the right thing to do.
It wasn't. Cook was purging a rival for power, and Maps was just an excuse. If it was right, then why didn't Jobs fire Forstall?
> By every account I've read, Jobs primary contribution was as an editor, saying "no" to bad ideas.
This is essential. I would love it if Cook said no to bad ideas. Soooooo many bad ideas lately. Terrible ideas.
> And again, by every "insider account" I've seen published, Tim Cook is doing the same.
