    No. It’s a commodity appliance, not a religion or lifestyle. We don’t need a priest-like person evangelizing his flock to buy the latest plastic fantastic toy. Go touch grass.

      You’re missing the point, whether or not we needed someone like Steve Jobs has come and pass. What matters is the success that the iPhone had entirely because of his ability to work an audience of more than tech-nerds. No one in the 2000s was doing keynotes like Apple with even half the social, adoptive, or financial success that they did.
