You probably don't know or don't care, but there is more to running a company than producing a new hardware product line (which is important of course too).

Under Tim Cook, Apple's business functions (procurement, manufacturing, operations, financing, retail) had an incredible change in efficiency and cash generating capability. Also, you may notice that Apple Services are an incredibly large and profitable business in their own right, having grown from nothing about a decade ago.

You probably don’t know or don’t care, but most of Apple’s current logistic/infrastructure was built under Steve. Steve’s connections in China played a big role in accomplishing that.

You realize that Tim Cook and not Steve Jobs was responsible for thar right as the COO? SJ had nothing to do with that.
