Re: [iPad] iOS 10 & more

 

I suspect it's Tim, Alice. No magic.

Of course you do.

You still don't, eh?

There isn't any magic.
There never was.
There's engineering; there's organization; there's management.

Never forget that Jobs hired Cook in 1998 and hand-picked him for CEO after working closely with him for over 12 years.

I wonder whether Steve identified so closely with Apple that he didn't fully appreciate how important he was to the image.  

I think that it's pretty clear that Jobs wanted Apple to survive his death, and that is a large part of WHY he chose Cook to run the place.

People cared about Steve, personally, and believed him when he spoke.  They caught his enthusiasm.  That's a salesman:  you believe what he says; you like him.  You feel good when he's in the room.

Many people feel similarly about Cook.
You obviously don't.

Apple is the quality leader among the me-too tiny tech companies, but no more.

Apple is not even among "the me-too tiny tech companies".

Magic is gone.

Something that was never there cannot be gone.

Clarke's third law
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

But that doesn't make advanced technology magic.
