Steve Jobs was actively involved in the development of many Apple products and conform some employees of the company, iPhone 5 it is the last iPhone that Jobs would have worked on. Jobs was rumored to have worked on the development iPhone 5, now we have a confirmation of this and it was normal for him to leave a legacy of at least a good new product for the Apple company. In fact, the employees say that for now Apple has not launched any product that Jobs did not approve before he died and I think that only from 2013 we will see what Apple can do without its former leader.
Much about the company's direction and even its products still reflects Jobs's decisions and design preferences—the iPhone 5 was the last model to receive detailed input from Jobs, say two people familiar with its development. The company has yet to release any product Jobs didn't personally bless. But Cook has executed Jobs's plan even better than expected. "Tim has seemingly pulled off what many people doubted he could, which is to sustain and add to Apple's incredible momentum," says Michael Useem, director of the Center for Leadership and Change Management at the Wharton School.
Although Tim Cook managed to carry out the instructions left by Jobs regarding these products, from now on there will probably be products that were never seen by Jobs and the development of which he did not participate. This does not mean that much will change in the quality or functionality of the products, I think that everything Jobs did in recent years will influence the way products are developed for the next years, but at some point the culture will change and other principles will become much stronger.
