So wrong it's almost a parody of tech journalism. In a couple months, Apple sold only 2,000 of a luxury item that required making a special appointment to buy, grabbing an extra $20mm. It recently rose to take 92% of the profits of the top 8 smartphone companies. Overall it's making record profits the history of corporations.<p>Just goes to show how wrong the central premise of this article is. Companies are absolutely not about individuals. They are the result of thousands of people working together to create something. Apple is doing fine without Steve Jobs. People like to attach companies to personalities because it works well with our animal brains, but that's just a mental shortcut that proves itself wrong time and time again, no matter how often we try to justify it. Apple is where it is because it hired thousands of smart, dedicated people, not because of one person's imagination, however romantic that idea might be.
