I don’t think so. Apple brought out the Iphone and, it took a while, but now there are many phones like Iphones.

The article argues otherwise. Apple's iPod still owns 78% of the music player market. Sure, the iPhone 4S was a disappointment compared screen-wise to the Galaxy Nexus, but Apple will catch up and blow by them on the next iteration.

In the long run, however, the picture may not be so bright: Paul Graham believes Apple is toast without Steve Jobs. It's highly unlikely that Apple will not succumb to the "big company" disease.

Apple will still be a very capable company without Steve Jobs. It’s just a reality that without him, Apple just won’t have the same street cred.

That’s the problem Android has had. Android is a very capable operating system, but there’s nobody who could speak for it like Steve Jobs was able to speak for the Iphone and Ipad.

You mean the Nexus that has a screen far too big to be usable as a phone? Apple is doing the right thing by not following the current trend of bigger and bigger screens on "phones." By the mid 90s cell phones could easily fit in pockets. Why are these manufacturers going backwards?
