    I think the merge to full blown Macs would have happened by now, if not with phones; definitely iPads. With the M1 the fact that we aren’t there at this point is almost inexcusable.

    Steve wanted profits but he also seemed equally focused on innovations as well. Apple has become a profit forward company that seems to hold back innovations purely in the name of profits. Efforts on next-gen are stifled to fill tiny gaps so there’s always room for the “next” thing; rather than setting sights high and pushing for another leap forward.

    I would be surprised if Apple did’t decide early on to make iOS built on-top of Android instead of the XNU based platform they have today.

    Remote app wouldn’t have been baked into the control center. There wouldn’t be swipe from top, swipe from near top, swipe from top but toward the corner… yadda yadda.

    There would be a phone that fits in 1 hand.

    We wouldnt move to the flat design, steve was obsessed with that design full of details

    The iphone x would also be way different

      Bullshit, way different how.

      You think Steve wouldn’t have loved faceID or the edge to edge design?

      Steve loved the work Johnny did.

      Under Steve perhaps Johnny never would have left and we would never have gotten this swing towards functional design that iPhone now has

    It would’ve been better than it is today. Also IOS, would be nowhere near as buggy.

    You might just have asked one of the most profound questions in this decade. Who or why did you ask this question??? I am not joking

    I don’t see anything significant happening to Apple imo. I mean, there was likely a layout of what things to release as well as Jony Ive (being one of Apple’s core designers) having a vision for Apple. Hell, he helped with some of the best products like the G4, 2007 iPhone, and first iPod!

    Also, iOS, MacOS, and the iPad were all starting to mature. The skeuomorphic design was fading away into something more “modern”. I do see silicon Mac’s releasing sooner as well as Vision Pro releasing earlier, but the first few iterations being limited and restricted.

    My theory is that the product line would’ve been more minimal, and Apple wouldn’t be the highest market cap company. Also the 699 Mac Pro wheels wouldn’t exist.

    But who knows, none of us would really know.

    He’d care about shareholders pockets too but maybe not as much as Tim. We’d have a proper iPadOS for years already. He’d actually try to inovate the smartphone business. And maybe the prices wouldn’t start from 1600 euros for a smartphone that has nothing above above the average Android phones.

    He’d make phones not politics too 🤷‍♂️
