I think that Apple suffers from not having that person at the top with taste who was willing to say “this is shit”.<p>The overall software quality has dropped markedly at Apple and the hardware more uneven since he left.<p>There were misses under Steve like the Cube where there wasn’t a market. But the product was great. Now there is a market but the product is middling like the Watch. Yes the watch was started when he was still there but it has stagnated.
