Apple does have a lesser future without Steve. Cook is nothing more than a numbers guys. That does not translate into new and exciting products. Nor does it keep the leads Steve gave Apple. The success of Android has proven that.
Steve was a perfectionist, but not all ideas came from Steve Jobs.
Cook is a business manager first and foremost and that is why he is in charge. However the same creative people, which fuel Apple's technology are all still there. That's where the meat is.
Tim is primarily there to ensure the lights stay on while the creative people conjure up new toys.
You want to ruin Apple, put a fake Steve Jobs in charge.
