7. Tim Cook’s vision for Apple inc,
• Cook did talk at great length about his view of the potential growth
opportunities for the iPhone, iPad and Mac. But just as important for
investors who want a clue as to where the company is going in Steve Jobs’
absence, Cook also opened up a bit on how he plans to make his own mark
on Apple. He is very obviously not Steve Jobs, something he’s been
repeatedly reminded of by the press and Wall Street since it first became
apparent he would likely take the reins from Jobs permanently. And while
it’s clear he has learned from Jobs in many ways — peppering his
sentences with words like “amazing” and “incredible” and espousing his
belief in the supremacy of Apple’s vision and extreme focus — Cook is
passionate about Apple in his own way.
