I think the real tell for Apple’s future will be who Tim Cook chooses to replace him. Financially, Apple is incredibly strong. You could argue that operations was Apple’s weakest point when Jobs left, and that Cook was the right choice to cement profitability and the ops side of the business as CEO. Now it’s time for some new product lines to cannibalize existing products and bring the company forward. If Tim picks another business / operations guy to run the company instead of a product person, I do think the product first culture and DNA Jobs left will die out over time.
