Tim Cook took over from Steve Jobs as CEO of Apple in 2011.

Steve Jobs was already seriously ill and had to step aside. Steve Jobs died shortly after.

By losing Steve Jobs as CEO, Apple lost much more than a CEO. Apple has lost its creative genius and its sense of innovation.

It must be understood that Steve Jobs and Tim Cook were radically different. Steve Jobs was a genius engineer, designer, and entrepreneur. Steve Jobs had this creative genius, this taste for innovation, and above all, he knew how to recognize the next trends in advance.

Smartphones existed before the Apple iPhone.

Nokia was the market leader and already had products that were smartphones that could have done better than the first iPhone. But Nokia didn't know how to sell these devices. Nokia did not have the creative and marketing genius of Steve Jobs.

If Tim Cook had been CEO when he presented the iPhone, I'm not sure it would have been such a success.

However, Tim Cook also has many qualities. Qualities different from those of Steve Jobs. Tim Cook is an accountant, financial analyst, and businessman. He knows how to manage a company to best optimize its operations and its production line.

It was also under the leadership of Tim Cook that Apple became the most valuable company in the world on the stock market. The revolution is over, but on the contrary, Tim Cook has perfectly managed to make even more profitable the goose that lays the golden eggs that Tim Cook left him.

On the other hand, no more innovation and creation at Apple. Many people blame Apple for this now. The company has become a company like any other. You no longer have the wow effect like when Steve Jobs was there.

With each new iteration of an iPhone, you know more or less what to expect: more power and even more power for a more expensive price. We have to feed the shareholders after all!

But more innovation. This is rather symbolized by competitors like Samsung in the world of smartphones. It is therefore incredible that Apple has still not decided to embrace the trend of foldable smartphones.

Same in other areas. There has been a lot of talk about an Apple Car for years, but nothing.

In short, Apple fans criticize Tim Cook for his lack of taste for risk and innovation. Some even think that the future could be much less kind for Apple due to a lack of creativity.

The future will tell!
