Apple will never be the same again, thad man was a visionary, he knew how to take an idea and build it into something other manufacturers aspire to build, he is Chairman now, but hz influence and activity in the company will continue to lesson with hz health. Samsung, HTC and Lenovo shares are up and Apple shares have dropped by over 5 percent withn hours of the announcement, thnk many investors

feel Apple has peaked, lets see how things go with Tim Cook, he was a COO which worries me a bit, i doubt he will have even half of Steves vision, i wish they had chose someone a bit younger and more ambitious.

I wish apple would pi*s off and just go into liquidation. all this patent s**t is annoying me now Judy cos they're losing the market war

Apple just need to get real n they cant make ppl buy there products i got an iphone because i wanted 1

@polo, atleast they hired someone who is working for Apple instead of someone from Microsoft like Nokia did with Elop. it could've been worse

At the end of the day, consumers don't buy products from Apple because they're from Steve Jobs, they buy them because they meet their needs and they're good products, and they'll continue to do that.........

Who will launch iPhone 6 and the event won't won't be exciting without Steve .

hope the new ceo wears the turtle neck at launches as a mark of respect lol

No he will be on stage to say good bye and then Tim cook will announce iPhone 5
