Apple: Judged on raising the bar on its own products

Michael Gartenberg:

Tim Cook will succeed Steve Jobs, but no one can ever replace him. Apple’s product introductions will be different and we’ll likely see more faces of Apple than ever before. But that won’t matter all that much. Apple will be judged—as it has been for the last decade—on its ability to raise the bar on its own products, to introduce new devices and services that capture the hearts and minds of the consumer.
