Curious Rat posts in response to Don Reisinger, who argues that with Jobs on medical leave, the iPhone could hurt Apple because “there’s no telling what might come out” of future development and no way of knowing how appealing those devices might be. Obviously, now Jobs isn’t at Apple day-to-day, Apple’s going to turn the iPhone into the iRetro and make it look more like the device Dom Joly used to use in Trigger-Happy TV.

But wait! Curious Rat throws a logic-shaped spanner into the bizarre-o-works:

Steve Jobs does not sit in a laboratory all day building things out of aluminum and glass.

But the tech press told us he was responsible for everything Apple has done since he become iCEO. HOW COULD THEY BE WRONG?

He does not cut metal, he is not Dr. Frankenstein and he certainly is not the only person at Apple creating beautiful things.

But that means Jony Ive isn’t just for show, to woo the ladies with his British accent and shaved head. THIS IS MAKING MY BRAIN HURT.

Steve Jobs probably has final say on what gets shipped, but he has a team of brilliant engineers and designers who have perfected their crafts over many years.

But that would mean Apple will be fine if Jobs steps down permanently, not least because Apple has effectively become Steve Jobs in company-sized form. STOP IT NOW, YOU’RE MAKING THE TECH PUNDITS CRY.
