Adam Kos Steve Jobs is synonymous with Apple even after so many years after his death. However, the company is now being pulled by others, the most visible of which is, of course, the current CEO Tim Cook. Although we can have many reservations against him, what he does, he does perfectly. No other company is doing better.
Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco and died on October 5, 2011 in Palo Alto. He was the founder, executive director and chairman of the board of Apple and at the same time one of the most prominent figures in the computer industry of the last forty years. He also founded the company NeXT and under his leadership the film studio Pixar became famous. Compared to Cook, he had the clear advantage that he was considered a founder, which no one denies (and does not want).

Timothy Donald Cook was born on November 1, 1960 and is the current CEO of Apple. He joined the company in 1998, shortly after Jobs' return to the company, as senior vice president of operations. Although the firm faced significant difficulties at the time, Cook later described it in a 2010 speech as "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with a creative genius". In 2002, he became executive vice president of worldwide sales and operations. In 2007, he was promoted to Chief Operating Officer (COO). When Steve Jobs resigned as CEO on August 25, 2011 due to health reasons, it was Cook who was put in his chair.

There is no doubt that it was Jobs who launched Apple to its current success with the launch of the first iPhone. The company uses it to this day because it is its most successful product. Cook's first big venture is being talked about in connection with the Apple Watch. Whatever their first generation was, even if we had smart watches here even before the Apple solution, it is the Apple Watch that has become the best-selling watch in the world and it is the Apple Watch that many manufacturers take inspiration from for their solutions . AirPods, which gave rise to the segment of TWS headphones, were also a genius move. The less successful family is clearly the HomePods.

If the quality of the company is to be represented by the value of the shares, then it is clear who is the more successful of the Jobs/Cook duo. In January 2007, Apple shares were worth slightly over three dollars, and in January 2011, they were slightly under $12. In January 2015, it was already $26,50. The rapid growth began in 2019, when the stock was worth $39 in January, and it was already $69 in December. The peak was in December 2021, when it was almost 180 dollars. Now (at the time of writing the article), the value of the stock is about $157,18. Tim Cook is a top executive and it doesn't matter what we think or don't think about him as a person. What it does is simply great, and that's why Apple is doing so well.
