The October 5 of 2011, Steve Jobs passed away and with him went much of Apple's magic. But he left some documents and writings that marked the way forward for the company he founded with Wozniak that Tim Cook has been carrying out. In fact, it was believed that the Apple Watch, a device introduced in 2014, was the first product to be created under the leadership of the current CEO of Apple, but this may not be as we had thought until now.
According to Apple analyst Tim Bajarin, who is said to know a lot about the people he writes about, the Apple Watch It is a product that was inspired by the way of seeing things of the former CEO of Apple and his experiences. The question is: To what extent did Steve Jobs influence the product that we have available for just over a year? Bajarin explains it in a text that you have translated below.
Steve Jobs would have asked Apple to improve the health system
Recently, I have spent time with Apple executives who were involved in the Watch. I asked them to explain the true motivation for creating the device. Although Apple has made fashion and design a key cornerstone of its existence, it is understood that this was not at the heart of why they created this product.
Former Apple CEO Steve Jobs developed pancreatic cancer in 2004. At that time, he spent a lot of time with doctors and the healthcare system until his death in 2011. While that personal health journey had a huge impact on personality Jobs, it turned out, also affected Apple executives. During that time, Jobs discovered how disjointed the healthcare system can be. He set himself the task of trying to introduce something digital to various aspects of the healthcare system, especially the connection between patients, their data, and their healthcare providers ...
I think Apple is on a mission to improve the general health of its customers and also the healthcare system, a task that Jobs gave them before he died.
Down says he's not sure Steve Jobs saw any Apple Watch concepts, which seems likely considering that it took three years from his death until the device was unveiled in September 2014. Also, the team that worked on the project claims that Apple did not take the Apple Watch seriously until the death of Apple's co-founder.
In any case, we like more or less the way Tim Cook and his team carry it out, it seems that everything we will see in the coming years will continue to have the stamp of Steve Jobs. Until the Project Titan, the most ambitious project on the block that aims to manufacture an electric and / or autonomous car, was an idea by Jobs that Fast Company I already picked up in 2012. We can only hope that they do things as close as possible to how one of Apple's parents would have done.
