Jobs hired very smart people. They did the work.
Jobs gets the glory because he was the one behind the microphone demoing the product at the introduction.
That is not saying that he didn’t have a genius for choosing next big thing technologies to support, but once you get an idea and want to go for it, you can’t unless you have the team that can realize that technology for you. In the Silicon Valley, that is the way things work, and have worked since Apple Computer was founded.
Apple would never have come into being without Steve Wozniak. He said “So I was the designer, who could kind of design anything you could conceptualize and then Steve liked to always find ways to turn it into a business”
Their partnership started with a blue box that Woz designed, then progressed to the computer.
Woz also said, “Basically, from the time Steve left Apple to the time Steve came back, he really became an outstanding business manager, able to...trust people who thought well. And not just those who could maybe design products, but those who could design products and have a feel about what to make them a little more special, to have a little more meaning to the users.”
He said, Jobs became an outstanding business manager. He said Jobs learned to trust other people ‘who thought well’ and had a ‘feel’ about how to make products more meaningful to users.
By your comments, I’d say Job’s TEAM did an outstanding job on YOU.
Again you self-contradict. What you are describing here is not the activity of “marketing”. You should at least have a coherent line, it’s the least one can ask. Especially today.
You really do not know what you are talking through your hat about. I suggest you read the New York Times' Obituary about some of that... about Steve Jobs' actual hands on approach to development... including that blue box he and Steve Wozniak built and sold before Apple. Yes, Woz built the Apple I, but he and Jobs designed and built the Apple II... But Steve Wozniak LEFT Apple in 1985, so he knows nothing about what happened internally after that except grapevine stuff. He wasn't there. So quoting Woz as evidence of what happened is third hand, hearsay. Listen to what people who WORKED there say... you've been told several times on here, yet you keep repeating the tripe.
