So if Steve were to die today there will be no effect at all on AAPL stock ?
Your having a laugh mate it would drop by at least 10% IMHO
Steve IS Apple no matter what title he is given, CEO, Chairman, Janitor or whatever

Would you have said the same thing before the iPad 2 launch ?
10 good reasons to buy an Android phone, as indicated by the trolls on here
1: I get more inches from an android phone..... Screen.
2: It once and for all proves that I'm not an apple Fanboi.
3: It's freedom of choice. I chose to by an Android simply because it's not an iPhone. Which made it totally a good reason to buy it.
4: The president of HTC said 'All the cool kids are using android now'.
5: It doesn't sync with iTunes.
6: I said that iPhone is crap. Which means that by default, magically the competition is less crap.
7: Because I already own an iPhone that I'm really happy with, I want to get something that would be better, 'because it's not an iPhone'.
8: You know, Steve Jobs is gonna die. Which means something to the functionality of my phone.
9: Because the iPhone 4S that I have barely a shred of proof about... isn't going to live up to my expectations. But if I quote figures about the top line Android phone, that'll prove that that phone must MUST work better.
10: I'm an expert in everything. So I must be able to modify my phone with themes 'n ***** because I know exactly how that makes everything better. Remember Myspace?

No, it won't make any difference to the stocks.
It seems that investors have faith in the Company, not in the people.
It is the Company that makes the decisions, not a single person.
Pay attention at the current stock level, and also keep in mind that any other company in the world has this company-centric approach, Apple was an anomaly. And this anomaly, in my opinion, led to speculate on their stocks.
This is clearly something not wanted and the Company is trying to shift to another direction.
That's another reason why you won't see Steve on stage this time, because it's all about Apple, not all about Steve. And this is very good for Apple itself.
Am hoping they'll announce a "speedbump" refresh for the Macbook Pro line up too, as really need to get a new MBP soon. Do people think this is likely?
Apple isn't mired in lawsiuts, it is just the press talk talk talking to fill the empty void.
Apple is always moving on to the next big thing. Don't worry, they will be just fine. Sorry about your white iPhone problem.
iOS is good, but it is not the only choice. There are people who like better Android no matter what. My wife just got on Android phone and she is going to give her iPhone to her 15 year-old sister. Some people choose an Android phone because they like it better even if they like still the iPhone. Actually, some people prefer Android just because. if you cannot understand that people might like better Android or iOS , it means you are a mindless robot.
What do you mean? I think its unlikely they'll drop the optical drive from the MBP line-up until the redesign the case (which won't be until Q2 2012 at least, I think)
Son, I like how you think. And especially how you don't parse words. the internet is free and this blog is open to anyone who respect s its rules.
(I'm not joking)
Thanks for totally missing my point. I'm glad that somehow my point, which was driven past you on the back of a truck with a massive band playing... Still managed to slip past totally undetected. I must have accidentally switched my 'Sarcasm drive' to stealth mode again.
Sigh...
Love iPhone? You're an iSheep.
Love Android? You're somehow an amazing free thinker, despite the fact that you're still just buying a small box full of wires and chips from a company wanting to sell you some stuff. Amazing.
Sometimes it's alright to just say "hey, I love this product, it works for me, regardless of it's perceived flaws". Quite often, this will mean buying something that lots of other people also buy. And, as usual, the things you class as a flaw might not be a flaw to others. It might even be an advantage.
Saying that someone is an iSheep because they love iPhones is the equivalent of saying you shouldn't drink milk, because hey, everyone else is doing it. Walking on 2 legs? Heck, everyone does that. I walk on my hands, because I'm pro choice...
Going for an alternative doesn't make you some brilliant minded, more intelligent, superior free thinker. It makes you just another person, buying something you want to buy. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now, if both sides could just memorise the following, things would be so much better...
iPhone/iOS - I love this product, because it does exactly what I need it to, works well, rarely crashes, and looks great. I don't need to endlessly customise my phone, and am happy to face this shortcoming knowing that my phone is more stable and smooth as a result.
Android - I love this product, because I can make it work however I want it to. I have lots of handset choices, and can get one in any size, shape and colour. I'm happy enough knowing that although there aren't as many apps available, and that they sometimes have stability problems, because I don't really need lots of apps, and just enjoy the phone as it is.

The thing is Apple isn't a one trick pony. And you don't have to love it to enjoy some of its products and services. And you don't have to be 100% dedicated and loyal to them either (you owe them nothing more than the money you pay for the products and services you choose to buy from them).
(I'm not joking).
Apple are a business though and like any business sales are what matters and if Steve doing the keynote is going to sell more iPhone's than Tim or Phil doing it then Steve it will be provided he is well enough, Steve is probably the single finest American orator since Martin Luther King.
The launch publicity in the media is going to be all about Steve anyways, if he turns up and does the keynote the press will give loads of publicity because Steve was there, if he doesn't turn up the press will be all about speculation about the state of Steve's health because he didn't turn up.

Also I disagree about the stocks
They fell 5% when Steve resigned before recovering, they recovered because he was still going to be chairman and guide the company with his vision, there is probably huge numbers of investors that are clinging on for Steve to recover and return to his old role as CEO, when Steve dies there is a sense of finality, he won't be there to guide the company, he won't return to his old role as CEO so I fully expect a short to medium turn drop in the share price after Steve's death
Bastards. I thought it would only be next year that these would pop up, though at 4.65 inch, that resolution isn't surprising. Of note, that's very close to the iPhone 4's 326 PPI, sitting at 315.And of course my carrier doesn't even yet have the normal SGS II
God I hate my carrier. Anyway, I'm stuck in the iOS ecosystem for now.
No, but you all want him to hobble out on stage no matter how sick he is just so you can get your sick Steve fix.
I am sorry I didn't get but you can't deny that there people in this forum who could say that and believe it.
It is just willy waving from Samsung, no matter what specs Samsung put out they can't even match the 2 year old iPhone 3GS in America in sales.
My guess is that Tim wants to cook in his own kitchen for his first big public appearance. This way everything can be prepared in detail.
Hopefully there will be a worship service, hymns and a laying of hands by SJ before he slips off to Nirvana.
