While my modest portfolio appreciates Tim Cook's financial contributions, Apple's vibe since Steve passed has been like replacing George C Scott in Patton with... Tim Cook.

I'm an electrical engineer and know for a fact there are better ways to implement charging for a mouse, such as inductive charging.
One man can make a difference, and what a difference he made
RIP Legend
RIP Legend
tim cook is horrible he ruined apple
Please share which country you are from and name a few revolutionary tech CEOs that grew up in and worked there as tech CEOs and we will compare them to Steve Jobs quick. Thanks in advance!
elon musk is not steve jobs at all, elon musk is a poor speaker and hes about as boring as tim cook lol steve made everything interesting and exciting he Truly innovated not just the product but the announcement as well thats what made steve so unique and brilliant he took something that most people would find boring and make it something amazing and impressive!
Remembered, missed , appreciated, respected, innovative, world changer,
All terms synonymous with ‘Steve Jobs’
Let’s us stop for a moment and realize how he changed the world that we live in
Never Forget!!!!!!!!!!!!

So true and today's "Keynotes" wouldn't be a 2 hour infomercial with plastic Ken and Barbies touting the lates Emojis! Steve would have never permitted that tripe.
Lets not forget that while we was a true visionary , he was also a deeply flawed human being capable of cruelty and dismissal of others who he didn't respect.
Nevertheless, I miss his presence at Apple and his passion and vision pushing Apple forward. Apple misses that energy and creativity.
I still can't shake the father-like aura he exhibits. When he starts out with "You know..."... shivers.
Miss ya, Steve.
Miss ya, Steve.
He passed from not just “a cancer diagnosis” but specifically Pancreatic Cancer. It helps to distinguish specifically because Pancreatic Cancer has the toughest outcomes (12% survival when in early stages, which they almost never are found in) and 3% once the cancer has spread. It also receives the lowest amount of research funding overall.
I read that by 2030 I believe Pancan will represent much more of the new cancer diagnoses so now it’s a more important time then ever to at very least bring awareness to it.
My Mom got diagnosed a year ago; stage IV and has progressed on Chemo. This cancer has basically shook every part of me but I hope that progress will be made in the coming months and years.
A good resource from learning about and getting support specific to Pancreatic Cancef can be found from the folks at Pancan here: Pancan. It would be nice to see Macrumors at some point during their yearly articles commemorating his passing to take the opportunity to educate on the cancer he had and perhaps call more attention to the cause.

Why does fast matter? It's an honest question. What difference would it make other than satisfying tech-highs?
There is a short wishlist that I have, but for the most part, Apple products have regained the "Gold Standard" status in the tech industry, and for good reason. The devices all work so elegantly together. People don't really appreciate just how complex today's technology is because Apple masters hiding that complexity behind clean and consistently simple UI and hardware design. Moving faster would only create more problems, not less.
Every keynote felt life changing. Steve was beyond reality, he had a vision for every device, app or functionality. He was very close to the product, yet he had a vision and was laser beam focused. I was so lucky to live Steve Jobs and the devices he made, it’s just mind blowing. I miss you Steve, everyday.
I really miss Steve's presentation style. It was far more natural and down-to-earth. More of a conversation between friends than the pre-recorded one-way presentations that we have now.
It can take Apple several years to change its course. COVID forced us all into the current model that we have now, but I think it will eventually change. Apple is really pushing the "TV-like production" aspect right now to show their chops in that arena. I don't watch Apple TV+ much, but when I do, the unique production style is very clear.
Leadership is slowly changing at Apple, with Tim taking on much less of a role in the keynotes, and that's a good thing.
If you want cringeworthy, watch any Google or Samsung keynote presentation! They try way too hard to be as "cool" as Apple. That's the entertaining part. 🤣
Exactly. Cook wouldn't know anything about his products if the info wasn't on a teleprompter in front of him. Steve had passion when presenting because he knew almost everything about each product he was presenting. He also hated teleprompters and powerpoints because he felt that if people needed them they didn't know what they were talking about, which is true.
His death should focus minds on preventable cancer deaths. He didn’t die from cancer, he died from misinformation, a belief in alternative medicine that turned a very survivable cancer diagnosis into his end.
Good ol’ times, when Apple had a soul!
Pancreatic cancer isn't a 'very survivable' cancer, but I get what you are saying.
His was a form that was very treatable with surgery, which he declined early in the cancer’s diagnosis.
He could have increased his survivability by taking doctor recommendations.
Who is cutting onions in here?
I always wonder how things would be currently if Steve was still here, and for the next 20 years. I feel like we needed him, but didn’t deserve him as well.

He most likely would've lived longer, but the chances of him surviving it were slim. That is all I am saying.
He would've been cured if he got the surgery immediately.
Does anyone else find the constant “Steve would have never _____” or “if Steve was still alive today” comments disrespectful and in bad taste? Even ignoring that Steve signed off of some of Apple’s worst products, it just seems so gross to speculate about what a deceased person would do. Let the dead rest.
Crazy. I was just thinking earlier 'Man if Steve was still around we'd probably have seen some new innovative product that everyone would be initially skeptical about. But the keynote would sell it.'
