Did you ever use the hockey puck as mouse? Yes that's from the Steve area...

Steve made Apple great but it's an illusion to think a company will grow forever.

Steve was also lucky to have Apple in a time where a lot new stuff was developed. He didn't develop it, he applied it the right way. Things like touch screen and tablets were really new back then.

But today there is not a lot that is new. VR is from the eighties, so is AI.

So I think even today Steve would have troubles to keep Apple growing.



Or he would have likely kept applying new technology. New technology is still being invented. There are just less steve jobs to actually apply it. I see it like the current movie industry. Lots of reboots and old franchises as they are "safe bets" for the share holders. No one wants to be the guy to make a huge flop and get fired.
