And yet competitor products are still worse.

I find that as the biggest difference between Jobs and Cook vision for Apple.

Jobs wanted Apple to deliver the best of the technology that mankind has to offer whereas Cook wants Apple to deliver the best in the market.

Apples moat is simply enormous. From SoC design to camera design to manufacturing to software and compiler engineering.

Competitors could spend 10 years catching up. Cook simply needs to keep the machine going till he retires.

Yes. I will add Steve's Apple made new product and services, and "hopes" the market will buy it.

Tim's Apple look at which market has potential profits and tries to enter it.

It is a product based strategy vs a market based strategy.
