Steve Jobs died on 5 October 2011, the day after the launch of the iPhone 4S. His chosen successor, Tim Cook, was already installed as Apple's chief executive and, after initially faltering, the share price recovered, rising 76 per cent in the following year. Apple, after Jobs, began to ossify, to lose its ability to scatter "Insanely great" products over the adoring masses. The "Apple Death Knell Counter" at the Mac Observer website records 63 premature obituaries since 1995, the most recent being in July, when an article on the CBS site carried the headline: "Why Apple is a dead company walking". Apple, too, had copied ideas - notably the computer mouse from Xerox - but any defence from Google along those lines could not dent Jobs's conviction that Apple had invented everything.
