From the Wall Street Journal's Tripp Mickle, the dramatic, untold story inside Apple after the passing of Steve Jobs by following his top lieutenants--Jony Ive, the Chief Design Officer, and Tim Cook, the COO-turned-CEO--and how the fading of the former and the rise of the latter led to Apple losing its soul.Steve Jobs called Jony Ive his "spiritual partner at Apple." The London-born genius was the second-most powerful person at Apple and the creative force who most embodies Jobs's spirit, the man who designed the products adopted by hundreds of millions the world over: the iPod, iPad, MacBook Air, the iMac G3, and the iPhone. In the wake of his close collaborator's death, the chief designer wrestled with grief and initially threw himself into his work designing the new Apple headquarters and the Watch before losing his motivation in a company increasingly devoted more to margins than to inspiration.In many ways, Cook was Ive's opposite. The product of a small Alabama town, he had risen through the ranks from the supply side of the company. His gift was not the creation of new products. Instead, he had invented countless ways to maximize a margin, squeezing some suppliers, persuading others to build factories the size of cities to churn out more units. He considered inventory evil. He knew how to make subordinates sweat with withering questions.Jobs selected Cook as his successor, and Cook oversaw a period of tremendous revenue growth that has lifted Apple's valuation to $2 trillion. He built a commanding business in China and rapidly distinguished himself as a master politician who could forge global alliances and send the world's stock market into freefall with a single sentence.Author Tripp Mickle spoke with more than 200 current and former Apple executives, as well as figures key to this period of Apple's history, including Trump administration officials and fashion luminaries such as Anna Wintour while writing After Steve. His research shows the company's success came at a cost. Apple lost its innovative spirit and has not designed a new category of device in years. Ive's departure in 2019 marked a culmination in Apple's shift from a company of innovation to one of operational excellence, and the price is a company that has lost its soul.

La storia drammatica e mai raccontata della Apple dopo la morte di Steve Jobs seguendo i suoi due Jony Ive e Tim Cook. Steve Jobs ha definito Jony Ive il suo «partner spirituale di Apple». Il genio londinese è stato la seconda persona più potente in Apple e la forza creativa che più incarna lo spirito di Jobs, l'uomo che ha progettato i prodotti adorati da centinaia di milioni di persone in tutto il l'iPod, l'iPad, il MacBook Air, l'iMac G3 e l'iPhone. Dopo la scomparsa di Steve, Ive ha lottato con il dolore e si è lanciato nella progettazione del nuovo quartier generale e dell'Apple Watch. Per molti versi, Tim Cook era l'opposto di Ive. Aveva inventato innumerevoli modi per massimizzare il margine, spremendo alcuni fornitori, persuadendo altri a costruire fabbriche grandi come città per sfornare più unità. Jobs lo ha scelto come suo successore e Cook ha supervisionato una fase di enorme crescita dei ricavi che ha portato la valutazione di Apple a due trilioni di dollari. Tripp Mickle, l'autore di questo libro senza precedenti, ha parlato con più di duecento dirigenti Apple attuali ed ex, oltre a figure chiave dell'ultimo periodo della storia aziendale, inclusi funzionari dell'amministrazione Trump e luminari della moda come Anna Wintour. La sua ricerca mostra che il successo ha avuto un costo. Apple ha perso il suo spirito innovativo e da anni non progetta una nuova categoria di dispositivi. La partenza di Ive nel 2019 ha segnato il passaggio da un'azienda di innovazione a una di eccellenza operativa. Ma cosa direbbe Steve se potesse vederla?
O autor da obra, Tripp Mickle, faz um retrato das mudanças internas a partir de relatos de mais de 200 executivos atuais e antigos da Apple, além de figuras importantes deste período da história da empresa, incluindo autoridades e personalidades da moda como Anna Wintour.
