It's unfortunate because his leadership / sense of taste is what made Apple a powerhouse. Under Tim Apple, the software has languished. They're great at hardware and the software is far from great. What a shame.

Outside of a different Apple Watch launch, I don't see Jobs really having the ability to create new innovative products.

Well they do sorta have a point. Even Jobs said he shouldn't have ignored treatment for so long.
