His tenure is that of a businessman, not an innovator or visionary. Good or bad, Jobs was all three.

Vissonary maybe but innovator?
IPhones & MacBooks were well built & marketed but neither was really innovative.

Yes and no, the first iPhone was innovative, but after that, it just became refinement.

It wasn’t innovative. They took existing products, and polished and marketed them. Apple has always been a lifestyle brand.

What was the innovation in the iPhone?
It was worse in almost every way except marketing than the n900.
The technology had reached the point where you could have smartphones by then, I don’t see what was innovative about iPhones.
