Sorry to say this, but there isn’t a shred of substance to this article.
You are, of course, entitled to guess at what will happen as much as the next guy. But that’s all this is.

Whatever. Of course it matters if Apple’s leader leaves. Otherwise, why is he there in the first place?

“won’t matter.” – mike butcher

“I get why people are worried, but things will be fine. Steve instilled vision in Apple his second time around.” – ryan block

The above perspectives are right on ONLY if the baton was passed before the leave. In this case, I don’t see any understudies.
