Numberzz Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 According to this report it's going to be Jonathan Ive. He has basically been responsible for all the great product designs by Apple in the past few years, including the iPhone. While Jobs won't leave for at least a few more years, he has never actually announced who will replace him for his reign over Apple. In reality, Ive is very similar to Steve Jobs personality wise, and it appears that they both work closely with each other. So post in this thread and tell us what you think!

apowerr Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 This report is fatally flawed: Steve Jobs is immortal. Even if he wasn't a demi-god, look how good Apple did the last time they replaced him.

Special-K Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'm going with Steve Ballmer. I mean first it was Steve Wozniak, then Steve Jobs. There's a pattern and they're keeping it that way or else Satan would get angry and blow up the company. They did sell their souls to him.

tbar Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Whoever it is they'll most likely have a buzz cut, 3 days of scruffy beard growth, and wear tee shirts and sneakers. No matter how old they are they'll say "really cool stuff" like awesome. And overuse words like paradigm and quantum.That's for sure dude. Totally!

sponkemonke Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 If Ballmer became the CEO, he could go against Microsoft but then again, he laughed at the iPhone.

When they started out, Jobs was CEO, and the Woz was more like VP of Engineering (not sure what his actual title was).

SpeedfreaK Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 jobs is not an ass! look what he did to apple, he made it populair again but i think if the new ceo games a bit in his free time it definitely wouldnt hurt apple. imagine 'iMac Pro' for gamers with a geforce 8800, that would be a super machine!

U.C. Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Steve Jobs may be an ass*ole, but he has legendary vision and an uncanny ability to predict the future.

madhur Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Steve Jobs is Apple, hence I will go with Jonathan Ive, who has been kinda molded by Jobs. The designs he has come up with show how much of a visionary he is, no doubt its Jonathan Ive.

BlackShadowWolf Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I think its all a lie, heres the real plot Al Gore replaces Steve Jobs after Jobs 'dies' >.> Gore pushes Apple to invent living head in jar technology. They put Job's head in a jar. Job's head is CEO forever.
