Steve Jobs was obviously holding Apple back, only just recently did we finally get a 4 inch screen, 4G LTE, and (keep in mind he publicly decried this form factor) an iPad mini 7ish inch tablet

Jobsy supposedly passed on much advice to Tim Cook - on where to go with the next few models. Jobsy may not have been against 4G LTE and a 4 inch screen - he may have recommended Tim to go down that path.
And Steve also said that video on iPods was a stupid idea.... a year before he introduced a video iPod (so Apple must've been working on it even as he made that statement)
