Jobs was a lot more charismatic and had a much more massive presence on the stage and in the public eye, which goes a long way. He was also much more of a product guy, and I think more people can resonate with that better than they can with Cook as a logistics guy.

I miss Steve. A real bastard of a man but nobody could create products, and point out the flaws in a product, better than him. Absolute genius.

I think Apple has suffered with its innovation since Steve died because there is no one left that great to say "no" to a product, or feature. Tim Cook might be a good businessman but he is not a product innovator, and that's Apple's biggest problem right now.

Jobs also seem to have tighter control of the company and what it engineered even if it meant somewhat displeasing the financiers, marketing to some degree.
