With the death of Steve Jobs many of us are watching to see how Apple does, especially with their next release of iPhones and iPads. I had read Steve Jobs Kindle book and found it brutally honest, surprisingly. One thing I remember was that he told Tim Cook to run the company as he saw fit, not how Steve Jobs did himself, although we all know he left a road map behind and Cook has been around since 1998 so he must have picked up some of Jobs ideas. The company who exploded with the iPod and continued with the iPhone and iPad is struggling to keep pace with the popular Android devices.

As I have always said, people will root for your success until you have success at which point they start to wish for your demise. This is where Apple is now and we will see where they are in a few short months.

In the meantime, there has been a lot of speculation about their next products as well as a lot of negative speculation including news that Apple employees are sending out resumes. Just a couple of short years ago, a lifetime in technology years, Apple was known for a place not to try and poach employees from because they managed to hold onto their employees for years.

A couple of years ago there really was no Android and it might seem like a good idea to see if there is gold in those Silicon Valley hills especially given that Apple has a reputation for minimal title inflation, lower pay, and fewer perks. In other words, this is not rats leaving a sinking ship but the fact that talented Apple employees are in high demand.

Apple PR declinded to comment to Business Insider on this story.
