A few days ago, one of the most relevant page when it comes to mobile technology opened a few questions to vote about to its visitors. Does Apple, after the death of its founder Steve Jobs, has a chance to survive in the mobile phone market, or is on a downhill that will eventually lead to the collapse of the company. The results show that out of almost 3000 people who participated in the survey, 69.72% thinks that Apple will "sink", and that Steve Jobs was the brains and engine that built and ran the
Apple empire.

Elon Musk and like-minded people base their opinions on the explanation that Steve Jobs was a great visionary and an innovator, while the current CEO of Apple, Tim Cook is an expert in the operation, implementation, and someone who knows how to increase the profits of the company, but is not a person that contributes to the development of the devices. And you will agree, without good products, there is no profitable company (at least not in the long run).
iPhone 5 is Apple's latest product in whose production Steve Jobs actually was (partly) involved, but because he did not live to complete it, many believe that this model is fantastic though, but just not all it could be. Apple will certainly manage " to live from its old fame " and resources, but it needs to find the inspirational visionary leader of Steve's capacities, or Apple may not see a very bright future... [caption id="attachment_3131" align="aligncenter" width="446"] Apple without Jobs, can the company survive?[/caption] This poll was not black or white, yes or no. The voters could opt for 3 answers. Part of voters, actually 22.48% of them think that it is still too early to speculate on the future of the company and its destiny. We could agree with this point of view, Tim Cook may not be the technological visionary, but it is certainly a capable person that deserves at least a chance to try to maintain or improve Apple. Fewer voters (7.9%) believe that Apple is "well-oiled, and quite operative machinery" that doesn't need much guidance to get on the right track. It is possible that this opinion might have some truth in it. It remains to be seen ... What do you think, did the death of genius Steve Jobs mark the beginning of Apple's end?
