Now that Steve Jobs is resting in Peace, Can Apple really do cool things that made them the world's No.1 company and most desired products round the globe. The touch that Steve gave to the stuff that was designed by Apple is really great. But now when he is not there can Apple do it?
The USP of Apple's iPhone was its simple and efficient user interface, ie the iOS. The design of the interface was mostly driven from what Steve wanted it to be. Now when he is not there is there anyone who can take his place and do it. It has been already proven that Steve's place cannot be filled by anyone in the company. History says so.
So, what is the solution to it? I believe that iOS should be made open source. Like what Google has done with its Android OS. Making it Open source solves that major problem which is creativity. People can work on the issues they are facing and making the OS more user-friendly. This way not only make more and more organizations to come and use the software on different firmware but also add to more APPs to the AppStore.
What Google has done is made their Android OS free and let even the new companies and large firmware manufacturers to deploy this OS to their firmware. This has made Android more widely known and much more is that a lot of other companies other than Google are working on the OS to make it better and beautiful. This has led to much more independent developers to come and create APPS for that platform.
Though I know that everything started from iOS, but Apple should consider that if they don’t keep on innovating the others will keep on and they will soon be surpassed.

“The media likes to create this impression that Steve Jobs is the only one who does anything at Apple, but the whole company isn’t run by one man.”
