Apple Inc. is an American multinational corporation founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne in Cupertino, California. The company established on April 1, 1976 and officially incorporated on January 3, 1977, designs, produces and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and personal computers. Apple’s revolutionary and best-known products include the Macintosh line of computers which was first released in 1984, the iPod in 2001, the iPhone in 2007, and the iPad in 2010. Apple software includes the Mac OS X operating system, iTunes, iLife, iWork, Aperture, Final Cut Studio, Safari web browser, and iOS, Apple’s mobile operating system.
As we all know, the creator of this revolutionary company, Steve Jobs, passed away this week. Now, many wonder if Apple Inc. will continue to be successful. In this article, Bill Stepp and Cecil Henderson discussed how Apple will sustain itself after the lost of the creative engineer. http://lorton.patch.com/articles/the-lorton-perspective-steve-jobs-and-the-future-of-apple
Many also wonder what's next in the line of Apple products. Production of the iPhone5 will continue as planned and will be released as previously announced, early next year. Really it seems that Apple will go on and continue the projects that were left behind by Jobs.
Much like how Disney mourned Walt Disney's death and fell behind in the markets, as Steve Case discusses in this interview with PBS News Hour, http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/remember/july-dec11/jobs2_10-06.html, many believe that the employees of Apple will obsess over the loss of their visionary and lose track of their goals. Case, suggests that they do not do this, but rather, remember Jobs and carry on--as the rest of the world should do as well.
